What can the 'average Joe' start hosting, that will change their life?
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!
You're viewing a single thread.
For me, it was a wiki/knowledge base - I've had dozens over the years as I've tried to find the 'right' one, but I'm currently a fan of @bookstack@fosstodon.org. My brain's not always the most reliable, and so my wiki becomes my 'external brain'. A lot of people are using things like Obsidian/Notion/etc in the same way.
I'm using obsidian at the moment, but bookstack looks pretty nice. I'll have to look at that more and see if it would be a good replacement. Can I ask what made bookstack your current driver?
The shelves->books->pages metaphor sort of works for me. It lets me categorise my thoughts in a way that works for me. The lead dev is also really communicative, and it's been really easy to deploy and run. I've been meaning to try and find some time to contribute some hacks to it.
Ideally, I'd love a way to make Bookstack and Obsidian work together...
Ah yeah that makes sense. That organization would be slick, since obsidian feels like it's all over the place unless you micromanage backlinks. I'll look some more into it once I wrap up with Homepage. Another post got me started on that lol
The ability to insert flow charts on the go with the draw.io integration built in is amazing for technical documentation.
That's such a good idea. I may have to look into this. Thank you
I might decide to try this for bookmarks. My current problem is I collect all info in various bookmarks. Like open source tools > media/office/bookmarks , royaltyfree > music/pictures/movies, cloud services > storage/VPS/dedicated, temp shares > files/images/video etc etc etc
It ends up with a lot of duplicates because some things fit into multiple categories, I'm at over 3k bookmarks now.
I am curious if it might work well to use bookstack for that instead. Thank you for the idea.May I suggest you benotes for that?
Really happy with it, hast folders, subfolders, tags and search. Still on development, but I like it enough to recommend it every time someone looks for a way to sort their bookmarks
Thanks! I actually did briefly try it as a Keep notes replacement, but decided against it purely because the checklist function does not actually remove the item from the list so it doesn't work as a shopping list, so the wife would never use it!
I did not consider the potential of using it to store bookmarks. I'll give it another look. Thanks!
