I'm already hosting pihole, but i know there's so much great stuff out there! I want to find some useful things that I can get my hands on. Thanks!

Edit: Thanks all! I've got a lil homelab setup going now with Pihole, Jellyfin, Paperless ngx, Yacht and YT-DL. Going to be looking into it more tomorrow, this is so much fun!

Actual Budget I use to track my finance.

Duplicacy for backups to OneDrive and Backblaze

Photoprism as Google replacement

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

Immich is also a great Google Photos alternative. Though it is in active development and things may break, I've been thoroughly impressed by it.

My problem with Actual Budget is it's only a singular currency. I deal with Euro, Dollar, Romanian Lei, British Pound. Having to manually convert each to Dollar, and then have a bit of discrepancy due to price fluctuations made it a no go for me. Have not found a good self hosted finance tracker that works for me yet.
At the moment I am unfortunately using a proprietary one called Cubux.

For what its worth, Firefly supports multiple currencies, hell I even see a few crypto currencies in the list haha.

That sounds complicated. If you don’t mind sending everything over an app Revolut can perhaps help out?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I actually use Revolut as my main bank account. :) Fantastic service but unfortunately it can only track stuff spent within Revolut. I use Cubux because I can track all of my bank accounts, and have a shared overview of my wife's and I's finance. Both of us have all of our accounts connected there. They made it incredibly easy to use, just unfortunate that it's not open source or self hostable.

Actual Budget looks really good. Does anyone know of something similar that can track investments?

That looks slick - will check it out. I've got something I built myself that does the basics (including calculating fire and coast values), but I'm definitely interested in seeing what this can do.

Actual budget looks really nice. Until now I've just been using MoneyFox, but I'll definitely try out Actual budget

I used YNAB which worked great but I want to move as much as I can over to my own server. The development is going really fast at the moment.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is it a YNAB replacement? It would be nice to drop that annual cost.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

For me it is. YNAB is more finished but they are active developing it. I dropped YNAB.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm using PhotoView instead of Photoprism, my RPI4 could handle it better. Just an alternative :)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Does it also have face detection?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yes but it's a bit broken. The repo doesn't seem maintained actively.

I've mainly picked it because it doesn't use many resources. I can run it on a rpi along all the other stuff it's hosting.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Actual Budget looks fantastic. And they claim they'll implement direct import soon. I need a YNAB alternative

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah. My banks all work with direct import. Even banks that YNAB did not support.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Welp, I went down the wonderful hole of Actual today. Thank you for that!

Let’s see if it takes over from my xls. I’m liking it. It’s quick and I see lots of potential.
