Hi guys,

What services do you think have the best return of investment? Where is it truly worth it to selfhost?

Cheers

    1. Pi-hole

    2. Torrent client (any) + related automation for scraping/moving media

    Nothing else comes close, these two are essential for any selfhosted enthusiast.

    Domoticz for home automation

    cloudflared for remote access

    apcupsd for UPS automation

    The big one for me will always be Navidrome (and the various *sonic forks before) because I have access to my music collection, and don’t have to pay a subscription.

    Vaultwarden I’ll give another +1, especially after fighting keeping KeePass synced across devices. Plus I have control over it.

    I’m sure throwing my torrent client helps because it’s on a box that’s always on and my computer can be turned off if we’re talking cost of electricity. Or just general wear and tear on hardware.

      where do you buy all of your music? Because if u dont, airsonic isn’t saving u money - it’s piracy.

    Seafile. I can get 1TB of cloud storage for the cost of a raspi and a 1tb disk. Can pay that off within a year easily.

    If you share purpose, then it will be easier to answer it. Do you want a self-hosted service for yourself or for the product?

      Yeah, like my car. Most of the time I’m the sole user. It gets me where I want to be.

    Everything that you host in your house with spare parts and does not let you pay for a dedicated online VPS

    PBS is very bare bones, and requires a lot of manual CLI setup and config, and it can only receive ZFS Snapshots or bare files. At that point, ProxMox already has replication functions built in and then there’s rclone to send it anywhere you want not just the PBS setup.
