Thinking of self-hosting some basic tools; SearxNG, Bitwarden, Lemmy.

What kind of tools are you self-hosting right now? Which ones are easy to manage, which ones are awkward? 👀

      I’ve never got what the point of Home Assistant is, seems to be it’ll talk to a load of smart devices and advertises you can control it with Alexa but at what point why not just have Alexa itsself control the devices?

        Home assistant has plenty of use cases. it is not only controling devices but also a very powerful automation system. A couple of things I use it for:

        -start my laundry only when I have enough solar power to power it

        -notify me when my laundry is done

        -track energy usage of many devices (heaters, washing and dishwashing machines, A/C,etc)

        -let me know when to open or close my windows based on inside and outside temperature

        -Force my water heater to turn on when I have solar power

        -Expose non-homekit devices to homekit

          Solar power? That’s pretty cool, do you use it exclusively or just to bring down energy bills?

            Im still connected to the grid. The idea is to use as much as I can from my panels instead of the grid.

      If you share your Plex library with friends and family like I do, highly recommend looking into Overseerr! I had tried using OMBI before but it was a pain to get set up–actually I never succeeded and gave up. Overseerr was very simple, just another Docker container like so many others, really. Integration with Radarr and Sonarr was seamless for me.

        thanks. I think I tried it some time ago but we end up never using it. we only watch it at home and my mother’s and she just text me when she wants something.
