  • homebox

    Homebox is the inventory and organization system built for the Home User

  • It's early in development, but the inventory management services homebox wants to support this use case. Dev is very active on discord and looking for feedback on how to improve the maintenance management parts of the service

  • logseq

    A local-first, non-linear, outliner notebook for organizing and sharing your personal knowledge base. Use it to organize your todo list, to write your journals, or to record your unique life.

  • You could try https://logseq.com/ instead of obsidian. Its open source and you can sync it with your nextcloud. Its journal-based, so it creates an entry every day automatically and so on. Sounds like it could work for your journaling.

  • obsidian-releases

    Community plugins list, theme list, and releases of Obsidian.

  • Have you checked out obsidian? Someone has already put out a docker-based version of it. https://obsidian.md/, with https://forum.obsidian.md/t/obsidian-remote-running-obsidian-in-docker-with-browser-based-access/34312 being the docker implementation. I haven't used them (I'm good with notion for now even though it's not self hosted) but obsidian might meet your use case.

  • kcal

    the personal food nutrition journal

  • haven’t used it much but on the surface this sounds like kcal.

  • AppFlowy

    AppFlowy is an open-source alternative to Notion. You are in charge of your data and customizations. Built with Flutter and Rust.

  • Try https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/appflowy

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • fasten-onprem

    Fasten is an open-source, self-hosted, personal/family electronic medical record aggregator, designed to integrate with 100,000's of insurances/hospitals/clinics

  • :D Fasten Health does have the ability to manually enter Conditions, Procedures, Medications, Organizations, Medical Documents & Practitioners, but Lab reports/Observations are not supported yet -- though it is something we plan to eventually support.

  • manyfold

    A self-hosted digital asset manager for 3d print files. Previously named "VanDAM"

  • Not sure when you last checked on VanDAM. It's what I use and as a single-user tool for organizing my (pretty big) model collection it's been great.

  • OneTab-Night-Mode

    Little theme for the onetab page to make it less eye raping.

  • Self-hosted OneTab. OneTab currently is local only. I would like to have a self-hosted backend so all bookmarks could be synced across my devices (ideally, with E2EE).

  • PlanarAlly

    A companion tool for when you travel into the planes.

  • I haven't tried Foundry VTT, so I'm not familiar with the issue you are describing, but you could look into PlanarAlly. I'm currently running 3 campaigns on it. Users join an separate campaigns, they only need to be created once.

  • Outline

    The fastest knowledge base for growing teams. Beautiful, realtime collaborative, feature packed, and markdown compatible.

  • I found Outline to be the closest open source self-hosted solution. Its not perfect (yet) but the closest I could find. https://www.getoutline.com

  • GarminDB

    Download and parse data from Garmin Connect or a Garmin watch, FitBit CSV, and MS Health CSV files into and analyze data in Sqlite serverless databases with Jupyter notebooks.

  • https://graphhopper.com/maps/ is an amazing product that is open source, but it just does routing (with GPX download). I wish it had a little PostGIS data browser that I could write into via routes I draw on the map, or I upload (or import from other devices using something like GarminDB or similar). That, and adding arbitrary points, would be great. Just a simple, general-purpose map authoring tool. I just feel like I'm missing something, it seems like this would exist already.

  • graphhopper-maps

    GraphHopper Maps - Open Source Route Planner UI

  • https://graphhopper.com/maps/ is an amazing product that is open source, but it just does routing (with GPX download). I wish it had a little PostGIS data browser that I could write into via routes I draw on the map, or I upload (or import from other devices using something like GarminDB or similar).

  • GoatCounter

    Easy web analytics. No tracking of personal data.

  • Btw, check https://github.com/arp242/goatcounter

  • Akaunting

    Online Accounting Software

  • Yes. Exactly that. The only thing I could find until now is https://github.com/akaunting/akaunting. But I’m not sure if this is all included in the open source version

  • plane

    🔥 🔥 🔥 Open Source JIRA, Linear and Asana Alternative. Plane helps you track your issues, epics, and product roadmaps in the simplest way possible.

  • central

    ODK Central is a server that is easy to use, very fast, and stuffed with features that make data collection easier. Contribute and make the world a better place! ✨🗄✨

  • It's in the github linked in the docs: https://github.com/getodk/central

  • obsidian-icewind

    zettelkasten for a dnd-5e icewind dale campaign

  • Yeah, that'd be great. If you use Obsidian, maybe check out the obsidian-digital-garden plugin. It's not a self-hosted solution (it deploys via vercel), but I've been pleased with how easy it has been to push updates. I've been using it to create a Zettelkasten for a D&D campaign I'm running.

  • Baby Buddy

    A :baby: buddy to help caregivers track sleep, feedings, diaper changes, and tummy time to learn about and predict baby's needs without (as much) guess work.

  • Something like babybuddy (https://github.com/babybuddy/babybuddy)?

  • OsmAnd

    OsmAnd

  • Umap (web based - partly does what you want). Osmand Mobile app.

  • docs

    The documentation for all the ODK tools. This is one of the most popular artifacts our community produces. It's built in Sphinx. ✨📚✨ (by getodk)

  • manuskript

    A open-source tool for writers

  • OptaPlanner

    Java Constraint Solver to solve vehicle routing, employee rostering, task assignment, maintenance scheduling, conference scheduling and other planning problems.

  • Try looking for something built around Optaplanner - basically taking the end game of rostering and working backwards.

  • Installation

  • we use https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox for ipam, dcim etc

  • Playnite

    Video game library manager with support for wide range of 3rd party libraries and game emulation support, providing one unified interface for your games.

  • I haven't seen it mentioned yet but I would love a self hosted version of Playnite - https://playnite.link/

  • lldap

    Light LDAP implementation

  • I know this isn't what you're looking for, but I've checked out https://github.com/lldap/lldap in the past and think it's pretty neat.

  • Christmas-Community

    Christmas lists for families

  • I've been looking for a solution, too, that I can get the whole family to use. Christmas Community works well. But if love to find user-friendly alternatives to try out.

  • NAPALM

    Network Automation and Programmability Abstraction Layer with Multivendor support

  • OOTB i would say support what you have and use. Abstract controls to public interfaces that would allow people to write their own modules for their own equipment and software. Kind of like how NAPALM does it, but more (if that makes sense).

  • focalboard

    Focalboard is an open source, self-hosted alternative to Trello, Notion, and Asana.

  • Have you checked out FocalBoard?

  • AFFiNE

    There can be more than Notion and Miro. AFFiNE(pronounced [ə‘fain]) is a next-gen knowledge base that brings planning, sorting and creating all together. Privacy first, open-source, customizable and ready to use.

  • AFFiNE could end up there at some point. It's a web app so technically it should work on mobile, but I'm not sure how the user experience would be there.

  • Firefox Account Server

    Discontinued Monorepo for Firefox Accounts

  • Tiny-Tiny-RSS

    A PHP and Ajax feed reader

  • Have you seen https://tt-rss.org/

  • nc-photos

  • Try Photos NC https://gitlab.com/nkming2/nc-photos

  • foss_photo_libraries

    Free and Open Source Photo Libraries

  • Maybe some of the FOSS photo galleries might fit your usecases, I've heard Damselfly is used in a similar way by its author.

  • photofield

    Experimental fast photo viewer.

  • It won't cover you uses right now probably, but I'd be interested in how my photofield app fares on the 2tb dataset too. You can mount your photos as a read only volume, so it's low risk to try it out. I'm planning to add some of the features you mentioned eventually, but feel free to open feature requests if you are interested!
