I always wanted to have my self-hosted server when I was in college. Never had enough money to do much
|
|
|
|
|
until recently. So after I got my first job, I have invested moderately (heavily actually ;)) in gadgets and stuff. And one
|
|
|
|
|
of my most prized possession is my Raspberry Pi 4. I have been using it for a while now, and I have
|
|
|
|
|
installed many useful things on it. So I thought I would share it with everyone. This is a list of
|
|
|
|
|
everything I have on my Pi.

I already had a good quality ethernet cable, so I didn't have to buy one.

I already had a good quality ethernet cables and micro SD cards lying around. You may ask if I am using SSD then why use
|
|
|
|
|
a SD Card. The simple answer is that I am using an SSD for storing everything, but all the OS functions are still run on
|
|
|
|
|
the SD card. In an unlikely event, I can just pull out the SSD and plug it in a different machine to access my data.

## Applications I am hosting
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I won't be going into many details about my configurations in this post. I will probably cover them in separate posts.
|
|
|
|
|
Here I will put a list of all the applications I am hosting and what I use them for.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I am using [Tailscale](https://tailscale.com/) to connect to my servers. They are locked down for access without
|
|
|
|
|
Tailscale network. There is an open source alternative called [Headscale](https://github.com/juanfont/headscale) as
|
|
|
|
|
well, but I haven't given much though of self-hosting them yet. For server management I am
|
|
|
|
|
using [RunTipi](https://runtipi.io/). It uses docker compose to manage all application install.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I will be listing the applications in the decreasing order of my priority.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Immich is the best open source and feature rich replacement to Google Photos. For starters the installation is very
|
|
|
|
|
easy, and you can install clients on Android and iOS. You can also use a CLI import tool to upload all your media
|
|
|
|
|
easily. You get most of the Google Photos feature expect the editing tools. The project is in active development and the
|
|
|
|
|
feature set is increasing day-by-day. You can see a comparision with other FOSS
|
|
|
|
|
alternatives [here](https://meichthys.github.io/foss_photo_libraries/).

It is really hard to keep track of all expenses from multiple accounts and credit cards. There are great solutions and
|
|
|
|
|
applications but either they are too [complex](https://www.firefly-iii.org/) or paid. If you still decide to use them
|
|
|
|
|
most of them don't fit well with Indian users, simply because they were not planned with such users in mind. Nothing
|
|
|
|
|
wrong there but mindset and habits of users matters a lot in such kind of applications. This application became my
|
|
|
|
|
immediate favorite once I installed. There are many thing this application gets right. First of them is the ease to
|
|
|
|
|
use UI and use of India specific terms and inspired from Indian spending habits. There is a bit of learning curve since
|
|
|
|
|
this application builds on top of [Plain Text Accouting](https://plaintextaccounting.org/), but it starts making sense
|
|
|
|
|
once you learn it. The developer is an experienced Software engineer from India. This will work for most of the world
|
|
|
|
|
but for Indian users this is a must-have if you are looking for such application. I wish it can have an android app as
|
|
|
|
|
well. But the current web UI is more than enough.

|
|

|
|
|

There are many great open source todo and kanban applications, I have tested many of them and settled for Vikunja. For
|
|
|
|
|
personal use it was easy to set up. It has all the necessary features but is not bloated. The UI is good and it also
|
|
|
|
|
supports CalDAV. An Android application is still in progress but you can utilize CardDAV with applications
|
|
|
|
|
like [DavX5](https://www.davx5.com/) or [Tasks.org](https://tasks.org/). You can also create teams and have
|
|
|
|
|
different projects.

|
|
|
|
I have 4 servers and many devices, it is not often easy to get the similar commands on different machines. That is where
|
|
|
|
|
Atuin comes in. Atuin replaces your existing shell history with a SQLite database, and records additional context for
|
|
|
|
|
your commands. Additionally, it provides optional and fully encrypted synchronisation of your history between machines,
|
|
|
|
|
via an Atuin server.

Gitea is a GitHub replacement written in Go. It includes a lot of features from GitHub including package registry,
|
|
|
|
|
CI/CD, team collaboration etc. I have not been actively using it. But I plan to host my personal projects here.

This is a document management application where I can store my PDF/text documents (not ebooks). It has built in OCR and

|
|
|
|
other useful feature to organise and search through your documents.

Shiori is a simple bookmarks manager written in the Go language. Intended as a simple clone of Pocket. You can use it as
|
|
|
|
|
a command line application or as a web application. This application is distributed as a single binary, which means it
|
|
|
|
|
can be installed and used easily. There is a third party Android app as well. You can get
|
|
|
|
|
it [here](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.desarrollodroide.pagekeeper/).

## What is missing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I am still searching apps for a general purpose file server and ebook management. A lot of people have suggested and I
|
|
|
|
|
have also tried Nextcloud for file storage. I also believe it is the best open source alternative, but deep down it
|
|
|
|
|
feels laggy and too much bloated for personal use. I would prefer something very minimal that solely works as a file
|
|
|
|
|
server and explore and nothing else. Similarly, with ebooks, Calibre is good, but it feels outdated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you do have some great suggestions, please put them in comments down below. You can use GitHub sign in or put an
|
|
|
|
|
anonymous comment.
