Now that Hetzner has increased their rental fees, I must utilize my VPS resources. Any suggestions on which services to run? I can't run anything that takes too much disk space as I don't have much. That means no file hosting, officeware, music or podcast, videos etc. But I have plenty of free CPU and RAM. #selfhosting

[samebchase@fantastic.earth]

@abnv A Mumble server?

[abnv@fantastic.earth]

@samebchase what for?

[samebchase@fantastic.earth]

@abnv it can be used to do audio calls or meetings to avoid using the big corpo products

[abnv@fantastic.earth]

@samebchase But I don't call anyone often enough.

[samebchase@fantastic.earth]

@abnv ohh I just realised this is a personal VPS not the community VPS.

[abnv@fantastic.earth]

After a bit of research, considering running SearXNG, Vaultwarden and Adguard Home.

[viz@mastinsaan.in]

@abnv is adguard home like a pi hole?

[abnv@fantastic.earth]

@viz Yes. But with more user-friendly UI, the internet says.

[lesley@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@abnv Some other ideas: RSS reader (I use freshrss), git forge and CI (I use forgejo and forgejo runner), read it later app (I haven't find anything more satisfying than Readwise Reader, so I am still using that rather than self-hosted apps), push notification (I use ntfy), and blog comments section

[pmbrandvold@techtoots.com]

@abnv what about “folding at home”? Help science solve problems with distributed compute! Also freshrss - curate your media intake and avoid email subscriptions.

[yashgarg@androiddev.social]

@abnv @viz one thing I like about AGH is that it's just a single binary!

[pmbrandvold@techtoots.com]

@lesley @abnv +1 for freshrss. I suggested it before seeing your comment. Also, I use wallabag for a read it later app and I’ve enjoyed it so far.

@viz @abnv (read in meme voice) wait you folks have a wallet?

[abnv@fantastic.earth]

@pmbrandvold @lesley Thanks but I've got all of these running already except the notification thing. The server is still underused.

[abnv@fantastic.earth]

@pmbrandvold I do self host Miniflux RSS reader. Running Folding at Home is an interesting idea. I'll look into it. Thanks.

@abnv I've had good success with adguardhome, it's also easily configurable with NixOS, which was my main driver for migrating to it from pihole

[abnv@fantastic.earth]

@jdheyburn Thanks. I use NixOS too.

[libreinator@fe.disroot.org]

@pmbrandvold @abnv was that part of science united? I vaguely remember seeing that name in boinc some years ago
