A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.

In terms of most used for me, it would be:

Nextcloud: contains my contacts, calendar, and photos synced with my phone, as well as access to files on my server from any web browser.
Home assistant: both automated and remote control of your lights, thermostat, etc.
Audiobookshelf: only really useful if you have an audiobook collection
Vault Warden: self-hosted bitwarden. Not really all that important to self-host, since a bit warden's clients are open source.
Frigate: only useful if you have security cameras.
Navidrome: only useful if you have a music collection.
Jellyfin: only useful if you have a movie / TV collection.

Audiobookshelf also finds, manages, streams podcasts. After Google killed off Google Podcasts, ABS has been an even better replacement in my experience.
