What's your favourite thing to self host and why?

Topic per title, basically.

For me: after setting up all the integrations and fall overs using the arr stack and Jellyfin (inc Sabnzdb etc)… I keep circling back to Nova video player.

It’s arguably not even self hosting…but there something undeniably cool about sticking a USB stick into a router, installing a single app on your TV and boom, done. EDIT: of course, it can consume the *arr stack, integrate with Ombi etc

IOW, I really like stuff that simple to set up and punches above its weight class.

My favorite thing to self host is my RSS feed reader. I’m a huge fan of feedbin but I wanted to self host. I tried the usual self hosted RSS feed readers but I just prefer the way feedbin is laid out and how it works. So, I used Claude to create a self hosted clone of feedbin but with my personal modification to fit my workflow.

  • Customized keyboard shortcuts for next and previous.
  • I added webmention support which allows me:
    • Determine if a site supports webmentions
    • Allows me to send a webmention like
    • Allows me to send a webmention comment
  • I can share and sydicate a link from my feed reader to my website
  • I can save a link as a blog idea, like if I want to respond or write about a topic for example.
  • Custom filters so I can basically mute certain keywords from me feed.
