Hi guys! I was wondering:
What self hosted software are you missing? What would you which existed?
Background: I am a quite Senior Dev and have 6 months between gigs. Would be fun to start a side project to keep my skills sharp.

It’s been suggested before, but I’ll echo it. We need a Portainer competitor with different goals. Fork Portainer & sail the seas. I think you’ll find a lot of hidden support here from other developers. Portainer not acknowledging backup/recovery is a major gap IMO. Proxmox has Proxmox Backup Server, where is my Portainer Backup Server? Good luck!

Business sales system. Just something I can punch some sales numbers into, expense categories, and then feed it to number 2
-
A nice data entry/aggregation/visualization suite.
All of the commercial solutions are nice but so expensive… looking at you tableau

I want a web UI version of https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazydocker
ie I want a Docker container that lets you manage other containers running on the same host. I’ve looked into Portainer and other tools but they’re all too big and catered towards container deployment (which I think is dumb, my container deployments are configured with version controlled files).
One of Lazydocker’s best features is the ability to exec into a container with the press of a button. I’d love to be able to do that via a web UI instead of sshing into my host and then exec’ing into my container.
Good multiuser Google photos-esque webui that can work with my existing photo collection.
Portainer IS super heavy, but also pretty great. And any running container can be exec’d into with a button click in Portainer. I also like the app browser to look at new available containers
For what I use it for, Portainer feels like using a dump truck to carry groceries. Sure, it gets the job done, but I’m not using half of it, and there are a bunch of things that I’d like to do with it that are either way too complex, or just missing. For instance, it should be able to set up simple scripts, like “run this container every night”, or “restart this container once a week”, or “upgrade these containers automatically”.
So to address the complaints about portainer being too heavy the dev of uptime kuma made dockge: https://github.com/louislam/dockge
I think you meant to reply to my comment on not liking Portainer. I go into more detail into why it’s not good in the thread: https://old.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/17tvvyx/early_santa_what_is_missing_in_selfhosted/k9008gi/
A gift registry for multiple users. Would be great for Xmas
It has a completely ungoogleable name for english-speaking people, but poenskelisten is that
You might want to have a look at MonicaHQ.
Monicahq is a personal CRM. You can share some info publicly. Unless I missed that feature. I have yet to find an open source gift registry.
Hi could you make a AI that does menial tasks on those beer money websites to make me money and also does my taxes for me and can do really good stock trading? Also I told my family they could have this for Christmas so please have this ready soon thanks

OBDII web ui that can interface with bluetooth or wifi elm327. I don’t need apps on my phone taking up battery tracking my whole trip. All I need is a quick update when I’m within wifi or bluetooth range to give all the important data of my choosing in one quick burst. If there is a observer page I can have home assistant scrape from it. Torque is just not ideal for my use, I am currently one of the few users of it in home assistant but will not be using it any more just because it’s kind of a pain in the butt.
A good SamsungNotes-like self hosted web app with Android/ios clients and pen support would be GREAT
An extension to Nextcloud Notes would sufficate. You already have an app and a good architecture to extend.
I’m using rNote, doesn’t have a web interface but works great for me
yeah me too, i really like it, but no phone/tablet support :(
I have been looking for something like that as well for years
Can’t you use obsidian for that ?
After all of the hype about various GPT’s, I still can not find the one thing I’ve been looking for from the start:
A completely local and private LLM on M-series Mac that can ingest and learn from all of my sent mail (from Mac mail) along with any documents I manually add and answer new emails or write other documents in my voice/as me
That’s because LLMs don’t do that.
The companies that offer those services basically do some tricks behind the curtain.
Like let’s say you want an LLM to learn your corporate docs. LLMs can’t do that because they need millions of text from across the internet just to learn to speak English… You can’t feed your 1000 docs and 10,000 emails in and point to it and say “Forget the billion documents you injested and pay attention to this… but also retain the ability to speak English”
What they actually implement is a standard text search engine, that returns matching paragraphs from the relevant documents, prompts to LLM with something like "This paragraph may contain an answer to user question X. If it does, please paraphrase it.
Yes, that’s exactly what I want it to do
Most of my 60-70 email replies per day are answered in almost the exact same way
I want it to read an email and then, using paragraphs or sentences from my previous emails, automatically generate a response
There are already companies out there who are generating what they term small language models - basically hybrid models of say gpt 3.5 plus a large volume of corporate data - but they are all cloud based
Others offer plugins to help answer your emails
I’d like a combination of the same to run locally

I think you will find most of these are not small language models, but are instead the thing I said above - a llm like gpt + a search engine. Even small language models require millions of texts and only perform very specialised tasks.
Self Hosted version of
With WebUI.
Can connect to your local, self hosted or cloud storage and manipulate files.
Yes there is a few options for automation, but they all require scripting your automation, and while that’s fine for a lot of people, for others that will always be a dead end.
You can help and contribute on https://gamevau.lt, any help would be appreciated
a selfhosted version of Padlet. As a Highschoolteacher i would love this!
I’m going to go on a rant here but:
DIGTAL SIGNAGEVLC can do a lot of digital signage tasks on its own. I built out a raspberry pi for a startup that would just plug into a TV and run whatever videos were on the device, or slideshow through pics if no vids were there.
Add a touch of rsync or similar, and you’re pretty much set for everything I can think of for digital signage.
