What's the biggest missing piece of the puzzle in the self-hosted universe?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/selfhosted

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • cartridge

    Cartridge is a convenient self-hosted game collection library with easy file downloads and automatically imported metadata and images. (by jamjnsn)

  • I would really love a way to manage my game library neatly and simply. No need for remote play; just game management. This project was pretty much exactly what I was hoping for but looks to have been abandoned.

  • vorta

    Desktop Backup Client for Borg Backup

  • Personally, I don't like using a gui, but for backups I recommend borg (cli tool) and there is a gui from borgbase (company that offers hosting of borg repos) called vorta (github) for mac/linux, some people do have success according to their documentation with WSL on Windows: https://vorta.borgbase.com/install/windows/

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • BorgBackup

    Deduplicating archiver with compression and authenticated encryption.

  • FreeRDP

    FreeRDP is a free remote desktop protocol library and clients

  • Have you tried FreeRDP? It can be compiled for mac/linux/windows and works decently in my experience: https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP

  • fleet

    Status and image fleet metadata management application for Docker images (by linuxserver)

  • I didn't know Fleet. For my own images repos (not Dockerhub hosted) I use Docker Registry UI (on top of registry:2). It's tiny and works perfectly fine.

  • docker-registry-ui

    The simplest and most complete UI for your private registry

  • I didn't know Fleet. For my own images repos (not Dockerhub hosted) I use Docker Registry UI (on top of registry:2). It's tiny and works perfectly fine.

  • Harbor

    An open source trusted cloud native registry project that stores, signs, and scans content.

  • 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.

  • filehunter

    Simple, fast, open source file search engine

  • If I understood correctly we have similar needs. I also needed something to search files in my nas. I decided to build search engine with multiple backend engines to index files, 100% open source and self hosted without privacy concerns. https://github.com/Ogefest/filehunter let me know if this project fits to your needs

  • fzf

    :cherry_blossom: A command-line fuzzy finder

  • NPushOver

    Discontinued Full fledged, async, .Net Pushover client

  • How about a Pushover or similar implementation? Thanks for your initiative!

  • wildduck

    Opinionated email server

  • I had noticed this/similar feature on wildduck mail server. Checkout the Advanced Security section there, might be what you are looking for.

  • PhotoPrism

    AI-Powered Photos App for the Decentralized Web 🌈💎✨

  • signdocs

    Discontinued Full-stack clone of DocuSign

  • zitadel

    Discontinued Cloud-native Identity & Access Management solution providing a platform for secure authentication, authorization and identity management. (by caos)

  • I'm biased since I work for ZITADEL (https://github.com/caos/zitadel). Passwordless with FIDO2 has been baked in since the beginning. I reckon that the major Open Source alternatives provide support as well. FIDO2 should work on all major OS and browsers.

  • neutron

    Discontinued Self-hosted server for the ProtonMail client

  • Two devs once started implementing a free ProtonMail server but they abandoned it. It's understandable, since it's a lot of work.

  • Mailcow

    mailcow: dockerized - 🐮 + 🐋 = 💕

  • And it's very likely that emails from selfhosted instances will appear in other peoples SPAM folders. Mailcow has a huge issue for that. You can solve this but it's not trivial. Using another IP with good reputation might help. Thus, it would be useful to have a solution that makes such a setup trivial to configure.

  • runnerup

    A open source run tracker

  • There's also an Android app that allows you to keep your data.

  • tapiriik

    tapiriik keeps your fitness in sync

  • And there's also syncing service tapiriik if you don't care whether your data will be on proprietary services.

  • trk

    Self hosted training diary and activities tracker in PHP. Keep your activities history under your control. Routes, statistics, photos on your own server and in your own database.

  • trk and fitly are also self hosted platforms that're able to sync data from Strava and many apps / hardware thingies are able to sync to Strava.

  • fitly

    Self hosted web analytics for endurance athletes

  • trk and fitly are also self hosted platforms that're able to sync data from Strava and many apps / hardware thingies are able to sync to Strava.

  • susi_server

    SUSI.AI server backend - the Artificial Intelligence server for personal assistants https://susi.ai

  • Because there's surely enough software available, right (i.e. susi.ai, Mycroft, Kalliope, DeepSpeech, leon, Jasper, Vosk or Genie)?

  • DeepSpeech

    DeepSpeech is an open source embedded (offline, on-device) speech-to-text engine which can run in real time on devices ranging from a Raspberry Pi 4 to high power GPU servers.

  • Because there's surely enough software available, right (i.e. susi.ai, Mycroft, Kalliope, DeepSpeech, leon, Jasper, Vosk or Genie)?

  • Leon

    🧠 Leon is your open-source personal assistant.

  • Because there's surely enough software available, right (i.e. susi.ai, Mycroft, Kalliope, DeepSpeech, leon, Jasper, Vosk or Genie)?

  • vosk-api

    Offline speech recognition API for Android, iOS, Raspberry Pi and servers with Python, Java, C# and Node
