What is a service you host you never knew you needed? (k.fe.derate.me)

I think everybody on here is constantly keeping an eye out for what to host next. Sometimes you spinup something which chugs along nicely but sometimes you find out you've been missing out.

For me it's not very refreshing or new: Paperless-ngx. Never thought I would add all my administration to it. But it's great. I probably can't find the thing I need, but I should have a record of every mail or letter I've gotten. Close second is Wanderer. But I would like to have a little bit more features like adding recorded routes to view speed and compare with previous walks. But that's not what it is intended for.

What is that service for you?

Immich! Backs up my phone pictures for my family with automatic backup through an easy app interface. Knowing my large album of photos on my phone won’t be tied to an endless growing subscription fees for…ever?!

Same!

Did not realize how good it is to have digital albums with the family! And also having a backup is great as well, for a peace of mind.

Immich is fantastic. Yes.

Is this accessible outside your own home network, or is it restricted to local?

[–] dallen 3 points 1 day ago

Same as any piece of software you’re hosting, it’s up to you to decide. I run my instance on my Hetzner vm.

It's very accessible with a reverse proxy. Just please be secure if you choose to do so. It's been a wonderful piece of software and i will be paying for the lifetime server license this weekend.

Done and done. I just took a screenshot, ctrl+v'd it right in the same browser tab and then went to my phone and hit reply on this post and attached the image. Its the best desktop -> mobile experience Ive used in a long time. It just works once you get it going. I pass through the igpu of a proxmox host into the VM and aside from some earlier compatibility issues (I think its mostly on my end, GVT-v, i915 and a bungled original grub config) the ML has been crash free for almost a year. Ive had 0 uptime issues (now that i only pull monthly) and I was smart with my initial compose script and everything is external. mountpoints are external, all the storage is over 10g to a truenas box.
