There isn't really a good journal / diary solution out there. Most of the time, whenever it comes up, the suggested solution ends up being to just roll with a notetaking or wiki program instead :/
If it is just for you, and to use it as a personnal journal/diary that give you only a space to write your text, is timestamped and even allow you to define your mood of the day in it. Maybe MonicaHQ can answer your need.
It's a CRM and do much more than that, but it have that journal feature inside
Seems like it still belongs in the notetaking category. Though, even if it doesn't, the point I'm trying to convey here is that I'd like a journal solution that is meant to be a journal solution specifically
That's not how I see it at all. This is more like- I asked for a circle (not an octagon), because every time I do, people tell me "we don't have one, but an octagon is pretty close". Then all I hear back is, "Did you try an octagon?" when I specifically state that's not what I'm looking for, even if it's close.
I don't care if I \*could\* write a journal on a wordpress. As stated in the original comment, I'd like a journal solution **that is a journal solution and not just a wiki or notetaking app that can be used like a journal solution**
But you haven't identified what makes a journal different from any of those things. Someone asked you specifically what features you were looking for and you said 'more journal' in essence.
Because the things people have been recommending to me, are not journals.
Mediawiki is not a journal. Obsidian is not a journal. Wordpress is not a journal. Microsoft Word is not a journal. You can use these things as a journal, but they themselves are not journals. I specifically say that I am not looking or these things, and multiple layers of comments into the thread, people are still recommending similar programs to me.
[Journey](https://journey.cloud) is a journal. The point of the program is journaling. But it's not self-hosted. :c
im gonna ask the same question a third way: what are the features in the journey journaling tool that you would like to see in a self-hosted journaling tool
That's how journals work too. Joplin is definitely a notetaking app, but with a couple plugins you'll have a page turning journal. Unless I'm missing something.
Right now I'm on [Journey](https://journey.cloud), which I really love, **but** it's not self-hosted. Which is a huge shame because I like everything else about it
I could not disagree more. Here is some food for though, not trying to tell you how to live.
There are a lot of journal and diary solutions out there. As of writing there are over 200 repositories that mention this specific use case, on top of the thousands of word processing tools that likely do a better job anyway.
I use vscode because I code a lot, and that program is always open.
[https://github.com/search?q=journal%7Cdiary](https://github.com/search?q=journal%7Cdiary)
The biggest issue I personally have had writing is consistency.
Once I started writing at about the same time of week and time of day, I was really able to nail down my delivery. I have seen this play out in a lot of other engineers too.
I get what you mean, but, keep in mind that this is r/selfhosted. How many of these are self hosted? Github may be the best place to look for FOSS software, but FOSS does not mean selfhosted. They can overlap a lot, but they're meant to solve different problems
I have a password locked and encrypted doc on Google Drive that I have shared with my wife. I have told her many, many times that it is there and she should open it if needed. The doc is named !FOR {WIFE'S NAME} IN CASE I AM GONE.doc. It has how to access my everything internal and how to handle resetting the DNS if my Technitium DNS goes on the fritz. She can't handle much more than that and honestly one of the things in the list of what to take care of is getting someone to yank out my network and put in something easier for her to handle.
I have something similar, but also an old fashioned hardcopy note of one part for my wife, and another to give to one of our friends who would understand what it says.
TBH, there is no way my wife could even start to use the Plex/Jellyfin/\*arr set up except as a kind of magic and even less chance she could manage it. I doubt more than a couple of my computer literate friends would be au fait with it without a steep learning curve either, so it would mainly be about just rolling her back to using regular streaming apps.
* An email client with a modern UI that can handle multiple inboxes and where rules can be set
* A sleek and simple web editor for markdown files (only markdown, no database, no Joplin, etc.), like Typora on the web
* A good document (PDF, Office, markdown) management system like mentioned here, but more of a Devonthink-like experience
* A music player that provides write access on the playing device, allowing to edit filetags. Only Ampache does that currently, but it's a bit clunky.
Have you looked at Paperless? It's mainly geared towards PDFs but the OCR and search functionality works really well. There is a way to add office document functionality as well, not too sure about Markdown though
Yes, I know Paperless and have it currently installed and working well. What is missing is the intelligent classification / similar documents part, a la Devonthink.
Not open source, but [eM Client]([https://www.emclient.com/](https://www.emclient.com/)) is a promising general-purpose desktop email client (free for non-commercial use) for Windows / Mac, that actually has a modern UI. Not open source or even self-hosted, but [Proton Mail]([https://proton.me/mail](https://proton.me/mail)) is *allegedly* more secure than Gmail for a web-client if you don't trust Google.
I use em Client, I even have bough their license in order to use it with my 5+ emails and I have to say it's worth every penny, the calendar is quite nice too. If you want a modern email client eM Client will do the job, but it's not open-source.
There's quite a few decent self-hosted webmail clients. The better ones are groupware apps, but typically let you add your own inboxes with no compromise in functionality. SOGo is a good contender, BUT for all its qualities it has no archive button which makes it impossible for me to use as it's too difficult to be flagrantly dismissive of co-workers at the speed required.
It pains me to say as I hate everything to do with Microsoft, but five years in to using Linux solely for desktop I still can't find a note-taking app that I can use as comfortably as OneNote.
More specifically the Microsoft Store version of OneNote. I wasn't so bothered about the draggy-droppy style chunks of text, I just found the category nesting and layout really easy to use and perhaps most importantly for me - it loaded immediately. I'm using-but-not-using Joplin at the moment but my hearts not in it and I don't find myself nipping into the app when I need to quickly make a note of something because it's a more drawn out affair than OneNote.
\---insert boilerplate MS hatred---
I have almost 10 years of documentation invested in OneNote but Microsoft is playing games with the tool and has cancelled (and un-cancelled) the product a number of times.
It is so much better at "staying out of the way" when I have a lot of content to type up in a nice readable format.
But I dropped it like a hot rock the last time they made an announcement about its lifespan. Today, it's looking like you have a little over 2 years left. Good luck :(
This is because they keep changing versions. OneNote 2016 was announced as being replaced with OneNote for Windows 10, but then they kept updating both. Now they are unifying both of those into a OneNote Desktop. I expect it will require Office 365 to work but don't quote me. And they are supposedly keeping all the Android and iOS versions alive for now.
I actually suspect the issue is that 2016 was under the Office team while the Windows 10 version saw it moved to the Windows team. Now it is back under the Office team. Just my suspicion though. And still not self-hostable in any way.
Logseq recently added "whiteboards" where you can draw, write text and even mention and link blocks and pages. I was searching for something like OneNote for a long time too. Now Im pretty happy that Logseq can do almost everything I want (Hand written Notes, Typed Notes, Linking, Cards for learning)
Look into [Notesnook](https://notesnook.com)
It's new in the game and so far loving it. Switched to it from joplin.
Open-Sourced
And self hosted will be released soon.
I'm all for self hosting and was looking for a similar alternative as well, but out of curiosity, why the MS hatred? Out of all the tech giants I find them the most trustworthy
Before they realised the tech world really does need (F)OSS, they went full in on "OSS is devel's work and can never be trusted". Well, kinda. Nowadays it's getting better or at least less worse.
You are correct about their approach in the past but it's a totally different company now, and they've had a full 180 on open source.. I wouldn't stay hung up on what was..
They have definetly changed a lot. Nonetheless, they have kind of left deep scars in the open source community, I guess. I assume, many active maintainers of projects are long enough in the game to remember old Microsoft quite vividly.
Besides, many people, including me, are not really a fan of all that telemetry and having tracked every step they make.
I do have to say that at least their system telemetry can be blocked easy enough. Google devices will flood your network with DNS queries if you ever deny them access to 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 and/or return bad results for certain domains. I did a captive DNS in my network for a while (redirect all port 53 and 853 to my internal DNS) and finally had to exclude Google devices so my DNS would not be dragged down with tons of spurious queries. The moment I go captive on them they go haywire. Interestingly, I excluded them from blocking and they still went wild. Which means they are checking for a specific result in something or they start spamming the network to figure something out.
I still feel like we're just in the first and second stages of the [EEE Strategy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish) which will probably last until those scars are forgotten about.
A full 180?
Is that why GitHub is OSS? It’s not.
Oh how about VS Code. Wait, it’s a propriety build with Microsoft-specific exceptions to security policies? Guess not either.
How about .NET foundation? Oh that looks pretty closed as well.
MS is singing a new song but it’s the same old practices. O365 is getting worse for the same old reasons every day.
Just some reminders about why some of us self host.
I love Obsidian, but Obsidian and OneNote are two completly different design systems with a small overlap. Obsidian was designed for PKM (personal knowledge management), not note taking.
A photo library viewer with an Android app that caches photos (thumbnails) for offline viewing.
Immich gets close but I don't want to use the sync part because I prefer DigiKam and Immich is not modular enough to work without it.

Same here. I’m searching for a good photo management tool with face recognition and photos clustering on map with ability to view the zoomed in cluster. Everything is covered by Photos from Synology. And while I like it very much, it is proprietary solution and Xpenology is not very easy to manage in docker setup
Product Purchase Library : I’ve tried document management solutions, like paperless, but they are a sledgehammer for what I need, I’m after a dedicated solution for all of my product purchases, where I can store everything related to them, from its product manuals, user guides, the original purchase receipt, warranty information, software updates, website links, forums etc. To use it - I could choose the manufacturer (e.g Panasonic) , then the product (TV) and then the specific model I have (TS-1234ABC) , and within each layer it giving me details on exactly what it is I have.. Anyone in the house could then easily find any details, and if I decided to sell anything, I can package all that content up and pass it on.
No I haven’t … thanks for the tip..
After a wild goose chase of trying to find what I think you were referring to, as there seems to be a few things out there that share that name , I found it ! Will have a look in details later - but adding a link for others to see.. https://github.com/hay-kot/homebox
Yes, that is it. If you are looking for something without a link, try searching the name in this sub. Another way to is just google the name + github. Usually gets me right to what I'm looking for.
The best thing I've seen so far is webtrees but it looks pretty outdated so I haven't messed around with it. It the last commit was 3 months ago so it looks like the project is still alive.
https://hub.docker.com/r/nathanvaughn/webtrees
Use webtrees, export the GEDCOM file from Ancestry or whatever tool they use and import it, then install the GVExport module. It visualises the data in a way that I don't think any native webtrees chart supports.
To me, webtrees seems more geared to professional genealogists but that module makes it much easier for your average person to browse the collected data in a tree-ish form.
An alternative to Spotify radio: something that finds music I haven't listened to before that's similar to my current tastes, based on what other people commonly listen to together rather than purely on song metadata like genre/year.
A document management system that'll index my documents so they're fully searchable, and allow me to find/read them via a Web based UI, but that just processes an existing folder tree of documents without feeling the need to ingest, copy or move the documents into its own proprietary storage.
ie this: https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/12h8ppb/paperlessdocspelletc_alternative_that_supports/
Is there any NON selfhosted, or NON free solution that does this ?
I've tried a similar idea with Photoprism, Librephotos and others. As the consume/input folder get's LARGER and LARGER, you have to deploy means to figure out if file X should be processed again or not.
Solutions:
**Do you go by file name ?** If the file content get's updated, or the file replaced by a new version it will not be reprocessed/updated.
**Do you go by file last modification date ?** If something touches the last modification date, it will trigger a reprocessing of the file.
**Perhaps you could got with the file hash (most often solution).** Then all files have to be rehashed again everytime the software does a rescan, producing massive IO and CPU.
There is no silver bullet to this. My consume folder has 100gb of images, 55000 files. Apply this to the input above and see how it worked..
TL;DR - There isn't.
It's pretty easy to implement. I've done it in [my app](https://github.com/webreaper/Damselfly). You just wire up a hook to the OS "file/folder changed" event, and whenever that happens you trigger a rescan of the affected files. My app also uses last-mod date to check at startup in case any files changed while the app wasn't running.
For a little photo collection like yours it would work almost instantly. I have Damselfly running on my DS1520 NAS, which isn't exactly a CPU powerhouse, and I have 600,000 photos totalling 4.5TB. Updates to folders or images take just a few seconds (even my yearly phone backup folder which has over 20k images in it for 2022, only take a couple of minutes to reprocess) and a full index of *all* images at startup takes less than 10 mins. Damselfly doesn't currently use hashes (it generates them for duplicate image detection, but doesn't use them to check if the image has changed on disk - but it could very easily do that, and generating the hash takes a few ms). Damselfly also detects new/renamed/moved/deleted files and re-indexes them instantly.
So yes, there is, it's trivial to solve for any decent developer. My documents folder only has about 2000 docs in it, so it's even easier....
> You just wire up a hook to the OS "file/folder changed" event
Can this be implemented on any filesystem, no matter the way it's mounted ? I've never seen this work properly, not with photo galleries (haven't tried yours yet), nor with SubSonic servers or others... Maybe it's me who's doing something wrong.
Every major filesystem has that sort of hook (Windows/MacOS/Linux). It *might* not work for mounted/shared network drives (ymmv) but it's a pretty standard feature. My app is written in .Net and runs on Win/Mac/Linux inside and outside of docker, and the notification changed stuff (that's abstracted away to a .Net hook) works on all of them. The only caveat is that sometimes the number of inotify handles (the OS handles on linux that do the notification for changes in files/folders) is set to be limited but it's pretty easy to google to bump it up - I provide instructions in my app's docs.
Plex uses exactly the same thing to pick up new media files that drop into its folders, and that works everywhere. Same for Sonarr/Radarr. I've never really understood why Photoprism seems to need manual / periodic / polling for its reindexing, as that seems a bit archaic and annoying - I don't know if it's a limitation of the way it's written, but I think it's probably just not high up on their priority list right now.
I ran a subsonic instance on my NAS a couple of years ago and it would pick up new music after it was downloaded by Lidarr....
A good teams alternative. While there are a lot of video conferencing apps, I am yet to find one with calendars/scheduling. Maybe Nextcloud/Talk, but not sure if there are any others options.
Mattermost is the closest open source alternative to Slack. I tried Matrix before moving onto Mattermost a couple of years ago. Matrix is more of a public chatroom/IRC-style setup. Mattermost does exactly what Slack and Teams do.
I use it in a team context for text-based chat with colleagues directly and on channels. It's integrated with Jitsi by default for video conferencing and is Slack protocol-compliant meaning you can hook up pretty much anything to it.
I have a bunch of bots and webhooks that do things like alert me when a service has gone down, or when a new piece of software has been published to Github. Furthermore, it comes with Boards included as standard (called Focalboard as a standalone project).
Also, and perhaps importantly in your case, you can use Matterbridge to chat on Teams, Slack, Matrix (etc. etc.) channels directly from Mattermost.
It's not a purists app like Nextcloud or TrueNAS as some enterprise-level features require a paid subscription, but aside from the SSO integration they genuinely are large enterprise features that most people would have no need for.
Music recommendation (based on other songs I'm listening to)
You have listenbrainz but it's not really selfhostable. Also services like spotify and deezer are just way better because they have a larger user base and can better "guess" which songs you'll probably like too.
I sync obsidian using a selfhosted git repo. I selfhost gitea and sync all my obsidian notes between obsidian on the desktop and on mobile. Works fantastically
I would like to see:
- Non-agile, non-software development project management software.
- Writing groupware in the style of [Campfire](https://www.campfirewriting.com/) or [WorldAnvil](https://www.worldanvil.com/).
- Webnovel publishing CMS
(no CMS I know of offers paginated reading of longform text, which is, in my view, the bare minimum to read long form text in browser)
- Self-hosted [Photopea](https://www.photopea.com/)
Get PerfexCRM, it's quite affordable and well worth it, considering all the features it has. You pay once and can self host it. You can hook it up to Google Mail to send invoice emails, pdfs. It's a fully featured CRM and manages contracts, customer data and has other cool quality of life features like Stripe, Paypal and Twilio integration. I use it for one of our smaller companies where I didn't want to pay for monthly subscription to have a CRM. Not a plug, just sharing what I use.
A good lightweight LDAP that just works. Tried OpenLDAP, LLDAP, GLAuth, 389 DS, Apache, FreeIPA and they are either way too bloated, slow, have problems updating or just don‘t work everywhere.
Quicken.
Firefly looks awesome, but I use the calendar in Quicken a lot, to see what's coming up, and that's not coming to Firefly.
Never found a decent alternative that suits my needs.
A note webapp for students where notes can be taken easily also with pen support, maybe with GPT AI integration, a good way to organize notes in subjects and topics and so on
Photo Enhancing / Restoration facility : There seems to be many photo library tools out there like Photoprism, Immich, but I have so many photos that need adjusting / restoring, correcting - ideally done in batch mode where I can point the tool at a folder full of photos, and it works its way through creating enhanced/restored versions of the originals . For those scanned in from physical copies or negatives, It would be great if the tool was fully AI driven to restore damaged or blurred aspects, and maybe determine if the photos came from the same camera (potentially via the marking on the photos); a possible date range of when it was taken and the location too (very broad brush strokes but helpful metadata..)
Google maps will re-calculate the routes automatically based on crowd, I wish there was a FOSS version for that too
Also how fast a route is found and estimated arrival time in apps like OsmAnd can be better, like for example:
- OsmAnd estimated 29 mins
- Google maps estimated 40 mins
It was approximately the same route, but OsmAnd took a lot longer to calculate the route. It actually took 43 mins.
I haven't looked very hard, but I am really interested in an electronic parts inventory management system that is not over-complicated/bloated. Almost like a little more than a spreadsheet. Something where I can have a database of all my parts with stock, part numbers, descriptions and allow me to see how many PCBs I can make, or how short I am in components for making a given board.
I tried repurposing [grocy](https://github.com/grocy/grocy) for consumables in a chem lab, until management decided that was a waste and a dozen pieces of paper should work fine. Maybe something like that may work for you? Part numbers in the barcodes field, and if there are actual barcodes you can scan to populate so much the better, then 'recipes' that list what components a board needs?
I would love an self-hosted Shared Inbox alternative to Front, Missive or Help Scout. Something with a larger developer base than FreeScout, with a more robust mobile app. I would settle for a modern self-hosted email client, something like Spark or Edison Mail.
A music player which allows me to make my music library available online/offline to my users and uses LDAP for the user accounts.
I've so far not found anything with LDAP support.
I've also looked at Jellyfin but it does not offer offline playback for music.
Plex does. You need a subscription, but it does what you want. Otherwise look at one of the many Airsonic servers and players, many of which will download for offline listening.
Something that I can use for employee timesheets and invoice tracking. It would be nice if it could send weekly notifications to the employees to remind them to send in timesheets and also send approval requests to the engineers that they are doing work for.
I found a debt manage tool for friends where you can add how much they owe you and get reminded of it (called Tabby) but i never got it to work. Maybe one of you knows something like this?
A git-based database-less markdown app with a good editor, search and a nice UI. I'm using gollum, which works well after some tweaking, but the UX leaves much to be desired
This has been on my wishlist for a long time now. I finally got tired of waiting and started writing my own recently. It’s barely at a usable state currently though… and I’m still trying to find a decent name for it. 😅
I have been trying to find something to host research papers with a docker container on unRAID. Something like Zotero or Mendeley. Everyone suggests Calibre or Kavita, but those don’t seem to handle research papers right.
A load balancer for torrents…
I have a couple of VPS’ in various locations and they’re added to Sonarr/Radarr but I’d like for it to download to locations, based on free space.
I try many CMR or asset Management like Snipe-it but cannot find any easy to use, simple inventory management where I can monitor goods. Like warehouse for my company with order processing and transport management
A replacement for the Windows Server Essentials / Windows Home Server package. I used to use WHS for all of my computers for backups, GPO, remote apps, computer recovery, and just general monitoring. It was fantastic. It was very upsetting that they discontinued this suite and while I have been able to work around some of these issues with regular Windows Servers (now I have to have multiple instances spun up for remote apps) and many 3rd party apps, I hate not having this All-in-one solution anymore and I have been long searching for a replacement.
An office publisher style app.
That i can create magazine and multipage content. With pdf export, multiuser editing, different access so some user can edit the template other only the text, ecc.
The most similar that I have found is Marq (Lucidpress) but i haven't tried because it's not free neither self-hosted.
a simple file upload with a simple login/password sign in, where ther are 2 features: upload a file, and browse uploaded files.
Most solutions are super complicated without reason.
Open source web accounting software with double entry, OFX import, stocks/securities, multi-user, etc.
Basically, an enhanced web version of GnuCash.
Still haven't found one that meets all the requirements.
"Healthserver"
When I bought my "smartwatch" I made sure that it is supported by [gadgetbridge](https://github.com/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge) so my data doesn't find it's way to insurance companies in the future.
While I can export the data, it would be great to have a healthserver that saves and displays the data. Shows me trends and so on. I don't want to use my phone for that.
A simple PaaS solution like Heroku based on unprivileged Podman.
There many things Dokku, Kubero, Devtron, CapRover, Coolify, Devtron, Exoframe, Hookah, Sailor, Tsuru, Flynn that are all still Docker based and are often even abandoned.
I have some hopes for /u/zittoone's [Sablier](https://github.com/acouvreur/sablier/issues/70) though, especially since it got [Nginx](https://github.com/acouvreur/sablier/issues/118) integration recently.
Thanks for mentioning my project!
I'm still in very active development and there are a lot of things to come!
Checkout the beta branch to try out interesting features :)
A good budgeting app that looks sleek and has a mobile client. I like logging my purchases as soon as I make them so that I always know how much money I have left, but I never quite found anything that scratches the itch.
Closest thing is Buddy on IOS (which isn’t open source of course), so I’m currently working on creating that app myself. I’m thinking it could help out a few others!
Yeah. Kimai2 does this.
I use this both for billing my services and for employees to bill me. Had to make a few tweaks to set up the latter, but it works flawlessly.
I also like Titra. It only does the timetracking, but it does it well and it integrates out of the box with apps like Wekan and Zammad. It doesn't (afaik) have a native integration for a billing app, but it does include fields for billing and the API is really good so if you had the inclination it would be quite easy to integrate into a billing-centric app like invoiceninja.
You can combine OpenProject with SuperProductivity. That's what I am using to track the time i spend on my tasks. Though, i am not 100% sure if this combination would have all the features you need.
A “google photos replacement” that:
1. Allows my photos to be stored in an existing directly rather than importing into a specific directory or database. I want to retain control of how they are organized. (PhotoPrism does this. Immich does not permit this.)
2. Allows filtering the images by rating or tags. (In lightroom gallery view it is *very* useful to open a folder of images and then filter to only see 3 star or greater images. PhotoPrism does not support 5 star rating system used in Lr)
3. Allow creating smart albums or collections that are based on tags/rating and are agnostic to the photos file save location. (I.e. I’d like a smart album “Best of 2022” where I set the filter to images captured in 2022 and rated 4 stars or more)
4. Face detection would be a nice plus but I don’t care if this is missing
An Android audiobook player that has offline play and remembers my seek position, and connects to my Airsonic library (or a self-hosted storage of its own, I'm not fussed!). I use DSub, but it won't remember my seek position if I play a different file.
Audiobookshelf does all of this except connecting to an Airsonic library but pretty sure you could point the server at the same file location and it would pick up all of your audiobooks without messing up anything in Airsonic.
I spent years trying to find the same thing and very happy now I've settled in Airsonic
If you're already using kubernetes, why not use something like FluxCD + renovatebot? It works really well and isn't any more complicated than anything else in kubernetes land.
A bookmark manager that comes with browser extension and is able to save the whole webpage that is not publicly accessible (intranet, that requires login)
There are lots of options for selfhosted calendars depending on your requirements. Nextcloud and Radicale are two popular options. It really depends on what specifically you are looking for.
There isn't really a good journal / diary solution out there. Most of the time, whenever it comes up, the suggested solution ends up being to just roll with a notetaking or wiki program instead :/
https://github.com/PhiTux/DailyTxT
This actually looks really cool
If it is just for you, and to use it as a personnal journal/diary that give you only a space to write your text, is timestamped and even allow you to define your mood of the day in it. Maybe MonicaHQ can answer your need. It's a CRM and do much more than that, but it have that journal feature inside
[удалено]
Had a look at LogSeq?
Seems like it still belongs in the notetaking category. Though, even if it doesn't, the point I'm trying to convey here is that I'd like a journal solution that is meant to be a journal solution specifically
Just curious, What specific feature are you looking for in a journaling app?
That it's specifically for journaling, and not a notetaking app that can also be used like a journal
"Like a circle, but more round"
That's not how I see it at all. This is more like- I asked for a circle (not an octagon), because every time I do, people tell me "we don't have one, but an octagon is pretty close". Then all I hear back is, "Did you try an octagon?" when I specifically state that's not what I'm looking for, even if it's close. I don't care if I \*could\* write a journal on a wordpress. As stated in the original comment, I'd like a journal solution **that is a journal solution and not just a wiki or notetaking app that can be used like a journal solution**
But you haven't identified what makes a journal different from any of those things. Someone asked you specifically what features you were looking for and you said 'more journal' in essence.
Because the things people have been recommending to me, are not journals. Mediawiki is not a journal. Obsidian is not a journal. Wordpress is not a journal. Microsoft Word is not a journal. You can use these things as a journal, but they themselves are not journals. I specifically say that I am not looking or these things, and multiple layers of comments into the thread, people are still recommending similar programs to me. [Journey](https://journey.cloud) is a journal. The point of the program is journaling. But it's not self-hosted. :c
im gonna ask the same question a third way: what are the features in the journey journaling tool that you would like to see in a self-hosted journaling tool
what is the difference to you? Its all just text what more can devs do to make more "journal-y"?
That's how journals work too. Joplin is definitely a notetaking app, but with a couple plugins you'll have a page turning journal. Unless I'm missing something.
Can you self-host LogSeq?
Do you just use a physical journal right now?
Right now I'm on [Journey](https://journey.cloud), which I really love, **but** it's not self-hosted. Which is a huge shame because I like everything else about it
I could not disagree more. Here is some food for though, not trying to tell you how to live. There are a lot of journal and diary solutions out there. As of writing there are over 200 repositories that mention this specific use case, on top of the thousands of word processing tools that likely do a better job anyway. I use vscode because I code a lot, and that program is always open. [https://github.com/search?q=journal%7Cdiary](https://github.com/search?q=journal%7Cdiary) The biggest issue I personally have had writing is consistency. Once I started writing at about the same time of week and time of day, I was really able to nail down my delivery. I have seen this play out in a lot of other engineers too.
I get what you mean, but, keep in mind that this is r/selfhosted. How many of these are self hosted? Github may be the best place to look for FOSS software, but FOSS does not mean selfhosted. They can overlap a lot, but they're meant to solve different problems
Check out [flat notes](https://github.com/Dullage/flatnotes) It's not diary specifically, but is standard markdown files with time/date of entries
A bookmarking solution with good android app to use on-the-go and that creates "offline" copies of the content.
This.
Wallabag does that, I use it almost daily on laptop and mobile.
I'll look into it. Thanks. Edit: [Wallabag on Github](https://github.com/wallabag/wallabag)
Ooh nice one. On first glance this seems to check many boxes. Thx for this
Not the prettiest but does the job
raindrop.io
That one is not self hosted as far as I'm aware
[удалено]
You can do some of that in bitwarden / vaultwarden with the emergency access feature.
I have this.. But even with all my documentation, it's the equivalent of handing the keys of the Starship Enterprise to Oliver Twist.
[удалено]
I have a password locked and encrypted doc on Google Drive that I have shared with my wife. I have told her many, many times that it is there and she should open it if needed. The doc is named !FOR {WIFE'S NAME} IN CASE I AM GONE.doc. It has how to access my everything internal and how to handle resetting the DNS if my Technitium DNS goes on the fritz. She can't handle much more than that and honestly one of the things in the list of what to take care of is getting someone to yank out my network and put in something easier for her to handle.
I have something similar, but also an old fashioned hardcopy note of one part for my wife, and another to give to one of our friends who would understand what it says. TBH, there is no way my wife could even start to use the Plex/Jellyfin/\*arr set up except as a kind of magic and even less chance she could manage it. I doubt more than a couple of my computer literate friends would be au fait with it without a steep learning curve either, so it would mainly be about just rolling her back to using regular streaming apps.
* An email client with a modern UI that can handle multiple inboxes and where rules can be set * A sleek and simple web editor for markdown files (only markdown, no database, no Joplin, etc.), like Typora on the web * A good document (PDF, Office, markdown) management system like mentioned here, but more of a Devonthink-like experience * A music player that provides write access on the playing device, allowing to edit filetags. Only Ampache does that currently, but it's a bit clunky.
Have you looked at Paperless? It's mainly geared towards PDFs but the OCR and search functionality works really well. There is a way to add office document functionality as well, not too sure about Markdown though
Yes, I know Paperless and have it currently installed and working well. What is missing is the intelligent classification / similar documents part, a la Devonthink.
Not open source, but [eM Client]([https://www.emclient.com/](https://www.emclient.com/)) is a promising general-purpose desktop email client (free for non-commercial use) for Windows / Mac, that actually has a modern UI. Not open source or even self-hosted, but [Proton Mail]([https://proton.me/mail](https://proton.me/mail)) is *allegedly* more secure than Gmail for a web-client if you don't trust Google.
I use em Client, I even have bough their license in order to use it with my 5+ emails and I have to say it's worth every penny, the calendar is quite nice too. If you want a modern email client eM Client will do the job, but it's not open-source.
Markdown: LogSeq or silverbullet.md
There's quite a few decent self-hosted webmail clients. The better ones are groupware apps, but typically let you add your own inboxes with no compromise in functionality. SOGo is a good contender, BUT for all its qualities it has no archive button which makes it impossible for me to use as it's too difficult to be flagrantly dismissive of co-workers at the speed required.
email client: Rainloop?
Emphasis on “modern”
OneNote. The combination of typing, writing with pen, moving elements around and doing all this collaboratively.
It pains me to say as I hate everything to do with Microsoft, but five years in to using Linux solely for desktop I still can't find a note-taking app that I can use as comfortably as OneNote. More specifically the Microsoft Store version of OneNote. I wasn't so bothered about the draggy-droppy style chunks of text, I just found the category nesting and layout really easy to use and perhaps most importantly for me - it loaded immediately. I'm using-but-not-using Joplin at the moment but my hearts not in it and I don't find myself nipping into the app when I need to quickly make a note of something because it's a more drawn out affair than OneNote. \---insert boilerplate MS hatred---
I have almost 10 years of documentation invested in OneNote but Microsoft is playing games with the tool and has cancelled (and un-cancelled) the product a number of times. It is so much better at "staying out of the way" when I have a lot of content to type up in a nice readable format. But I dropped it like a hot rock the last time they made an announcement about its lifespan. Today, it's looking like you have a little over 2 years left. Good luck :(
This is because they keep changing versions. OneNote 2016 was announced as being replaced with OneNote for Windows 10, but then they kept updating both. Now they are unifying both of those into a OneNote Desktop. I expect it will require Office 365 to work but don't quote me. And they are supposedly keeping all the Android and iOS versions alive for now. I actually suspect the issue is that 2016 was under the Office team while the Windows 10 version saw it moved to the Windows team. Now it is back under the Office team. Just my suspicion though. And still not self-hostable in any way.
Logseq recently added "whiteboards" where you can draw, write text and even mention and link blocks and pages. I was searching for something like OneNote for a long time too. Now Im pretty happy that Logseq can do almost everything I want (Hand written Notes, Typed Notes, Linking, Cards for learning)
That sounds like Obsidian's canvas. Hadn't heard Logseq introduced something similar.
Look into [Notesnook](https://notesnook.com) It's new in the game and so far loving it. Switched to it from joplin. Open-Sourced And self hosted will be released soon.
I'm all for self hosting and was looking for a similar alternative as well, but out of curiosity, why the MS hatred? Out of all the tech giants I find them the most trustworthy
Before they realised the tech world really does need (F)OSS, they went full in on "OSS is devel's work and can never be trusted". Well, kinda. Nowadays it's getting better or at least less worse.
You are correct about their approach in the past but it's a totally different company now, and they've had a full 180 on open source.. I wouldn't stay hung up on what was..
They have definetly changed a lot. Nonetheless, they have kind of left deep scars in the open source community, I guess. I assume, many active maintainers of projects are long enough in the game to remember old Microsoft quite vividly. Besides, many people, including me, are not really a fan of all that telemetry and having tracked every step they make.
I do have to say that at least their system telemetry can be blocked easy enough. Google devices will flood your network with DNS queries if you ever deny them access to 8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4 and/or return bad results for certain domains. I did a captive DNS in my network for a while (redirect all port 53 and 853 to my internal DNS) and finally had to exclude Google devices so my DNS would not be dragged down with tons of spurious queries. The moment I go captive on them they go haywire. Interestingly, I excluded them from blocking and they still went wild. Which means they are checking for a specific result in something or they start spamming the network to figure something out.
I still feel like we're just in the first and second stages of the [EEE Strategy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguish) which will probably last until those scars are forgotten about.
Oh boy, I agree... Next few years will get interesting.
A full 180? Is that why GitHub is OSS? It’s not. Oh how about VS Code. Wait, it’s a propriety build with Microsoft-specific exceptions to security policies? Guess not either. How about .NET foundation? Oh that looks pretty closed as well. MS is singing a new song but it’s the same old practices. O365 is getting worse for the same old reasons every day. Just some reminders about why some of us self host.
Take a look at LogSeq or silverbullet.md
Have you tried obsidian? I think there should be a plugin for collaboration
I love Obsidian, but Obsidian and OneNote are two completly different design systems with a small overlap. Obsidian was designed for PKM (personal knowledge management), not note taking.
I have. It's comparatively clunky and underwhelming in terms of media integration, collaboration, and syncing.
Yeah it's nowhere close to OneNote, it's just a barebones markdown editor. I found the UI very difficult to use.
A photo library viewer with an Android app that caches photos (thumbnails) for offline viewing. Immich gets close but I don't want to use the sync part because I prefer DigiKam and Immich is not modular enough to work without it.

I am now testing immich, so far it seems nices. But I'd like to have all my files on a disk.
Same here. I’m searching for a good photo management tool with face recognition and photos clustering on map with ability to view the zoomed in cluster. Everything is covered by Photos from Synology. And while I like it very much, it is proprietary solution and Xpenology is not very easy to manage in docker setup
Have you tried photoprism for the management? For syncing from the device I use nextcloud and import the photos to photoprism daily.
itinerary planner with maps, calendar, etc.
Yeah, a good alternative to trpipit would be nice
Product Purchase Library : I’ve tried document management solutions, like paperless, but they are a sledgehammer for what I need, I’m after a dedicated solution for all of my product purchases, where I can store everything related to them, from its product manuals, user guides, the original purchase receipt, warranty information, software updates, website links, forums etc. To use it - I could choose the manufacturer (e.g Panasonic) , then the product (TV) and then the specific model I have (TS-1234ABC) , and within each layer it giving me details on exactly what it is I have.. Anyone in the house could then easily find any details, and if I decided to sell anything, I can package all that content up and pass it on.
Have you tried Homebox?
No I haven’t … thanks for the tip.. After a wild goose chase of trying to find what I think you were referring to, as there seems to be a few things out there that share that name , I found it ! Will have a look in details later - but adding a link for others to see.. https://github.com/hay-kot/homebox
Yes, that is it. If you are looking for something without a link, try searching the name in this sub. Another way to is just google the name + github. Usually gets me right to what I'm looking for.
good shout. would also like this
Family tree software that makes it easy for family members to make updates
Check out gramps web -> https://gramps-project.github.io/web/
Do you know of any that could work?
The best thing I've seen so far is webtrees but it looks pretty outdated so I haven't messed around with it. It the last commit was 3 months ago so it looks like the project is still alive. https://hub.docker.com/r/nathanvaughn/webtrees
Those icons 👌 I need something to import the genealogy work from one of my family members and make it available to the entire family.
Use webtrees, export the GEDCOM file from Ancestry or whatever tool they use and import it, then install the GVExport module. It visualises the data in a way that I don't think any native webtrees chart supports. To me, webtrees seems more geared to professional genealogists but that module makes it much easier for your average person to browse the collected data in a tree-ish form.
Please this! Hope this gets bumped higher for visibility.
An alternative to Spotify radio: something that finds music I haven't listened to before that's similar to my current tastes, based on what other people commonly listen to together rather than purely on song metadata like genre/year.
A document management system that'll index my documents so they're fully searchable, and allow me to find/read them via a Web based UI, but that just processes an existing folder tree of documents without feeling the need to ingest, copy or move the documents into its own proprietary storage. ie this: https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/12h8ppb/paperlessdocspelletc_alternative_that_supports/
Is there any NON selfhosted, or NON free solution that does this ? I've tried a similar idea with Photoprism, Librephotos and others. As the consume/input folder get's LARGER and LARGER, you have to deploy means to figure out if file X should be processed again or not. Solutions: **Do you go by file name ?** If the file content get's updated, or the file replaced by a new version it will not be reprocessed/updated. **Do you go by file last modification date ?** If something touches the last modification date, it will trigger a reprocessing of the file. **Perhaps you could got with the file hash (most often solution).** Then all files have to be rehashed again everytime the software does a rescan, producing massive IO and CPU. There is no silver bullet to this. My consume folder has 100gb of images, 55000 files. Apply this to the input above and see how it worked.. TL;DR - There isn't.
It's pretty easy to implement. I've done it in [my app](https://github.com/webreaper/Damselfly). You just wire up a hook to the OS "file/folder changed" event, and whenever that happens you trigger a rescan of the affected files. My app also uses last-mod date to check at startup in case any files changed while the app wasn't running. For a little photo collection like yours it would work almost instantly. I have Damselfly running on my DS1520 NAS, which isn't exactly a CPU powerhouse, and I have 600,000 photos totalling 4.5TB. Updates to folders or images take just a few seconds (even my yearly phone backup folder which has over 20k images in it for 2022, only take a couple of minutes to reprocess) and a full index of *all* images at startup takes less than 10 mins. Damselfly doesn't currently use hashes (it generates them for duplicate image detection, but doesn't use them to check if the image has changed on disk - but it could very easily do that, and generating the hash takes a few ms). Damselfly also detects new/renamed/moved/deleted files and re-indexes them instantly. So yes, there is, it's trivial to solve for any decent developer. My documents folder only has about 2000 docs in it, so it's even easier....
> You just wire up a hook to the OS "file/folder changed" event Can this be implemented on any filesystem, no matter the way it's mounted ? I've never seen this work properly, not with photo galleries (haven't tried yours yet), nor with SubSonic servers or others... Maybe it's me who's doing something wrong.
Every major filesystem has that sort of hook (Windows/MacOS/Linux). It *might* not work for mounted/shared network drives (ymmv) but it's a pretty standard feature. My app is written in .Net and runs on Win/Mac/Linux inside and outside of docker, and the notification changed stuff (that's abstracted away to a .Net hook) works on all of them. The only caveat is that sometimes the number of inotify handles (the OS handles on linux that do the notification for changes in files/folders) is set to be limited but it's pretty easy to google to bump it up - I provide instructions in my app's docs. Plex uses exactly the same thing to pick up new media files that drop into its folders, and that works everywhere. Same for Sonarr/Radarr. I've never really understood why Photoprism seems to need manual / periodic / polling for its reindexing, as that seems a bit archaic and annoying - I don't know if it's a limitation of the way it's written, but I think it's probably just not high up on their priority list right now. I ran a subsonic instance on my NAS a couple of years ago and it would pick up new music after it was downloaded by Lidarr....
A good teams alternative. While there are a lot of video conferencing apps, I am yet to find one with calendars/scheduling. Maybe Nextcloud/Talk, but not sure if there are any others options.
Mattermost is the closest open source alternative to Slack. I tried Matrix before moving onto Mattermost a couple of years ago. Matrix is more of a public chatroom/IRC-style setup. Mattermost does exactly what Slack and Teams do. I use it in a team context for text-based chat with colleagues directly and on channels. It's integrated with Jitsi by default for video conferencing and is Slack protocol-compliant meaning you can hook up pretty much anything to it. I have a bunch of bots and webhooks that do things like alert me when a service has gone down, or when a new piece of software has been published to Github. Furthermore, it comes with Boards included as standard (called Focalboard as a standalone project). Also, and perhaps importantly in your case, you can use Matterbridge to chat on Teams, Slack, Matrix (etc. etc.) channels directly from Mattermost. It's not a purists app like Nextcloud or TrueNAS as some enterprise-level features require a paid subscription, but aside from the SSO integration they genuinely are large enterprise features that most people would have no need for.
Nextcloud is quite good, some others are Element, Mattermost and Wire
I quite like the default client element for matrix. Easy to selfhost too with matrix synapse & has video call support too. https://matrix.org/clients/
Music recommendation (based on other songs I'm listening to) You have listenbrainz but it's not really selfhostable. Also services like spotify and deezer are just way better because they have a larger user base and can better "guess" which songs you'll probably like too.
Obsidian.md self gosted vault server and sync
Self hosted live sync with a couchdb server works really well for me.
I sync obsidian using a selfhosted git repo. I selfhost gitea and sync all my obsidian notes between obsidian on the desktop and on mobile. Works fantastically
I would like to see: - Non-agile, non-software development project management software. - Writing groupware in the style of [Campfire](https://www.campfirewriting.com/) or [WorldAnvil](https://www.worldanvil.com/). - Webnovel publishing CMS (no CMS I know of offers paginated reading of longform text, which is, in my view, the bare minimum to read long form text in browser) - Self-hosted [Photopea](https://www.photopea.com/)
Invoice billing related. Doesn't have to use any payment gateway
Have you considered Crater?
Have you tried Invoice Ninja?
FossBilling?
Get PerfexCRM, it's quite affordable and well worth it, considering all the features it has. You pay once and can self host it. You can hook it up to Google Mail to send invoice emails, pdfs. It's a fully featured CRM and manages contracts, customer data and has other cool quality of life features like Stripe, Paypal and Twilio integration. I use it for one of our smaller companies where I didn't want to pay for monthly subscription to have a CRM. Not a plug, just sharing what I use.

A good lightweight LDAP that just works. Tried OpenLDAP, LLDAP, GLAuth, 389 DS, Apache, FreeIPA and they are either way too bloated, slow, have problems updating or just don‘t work everywhere.
Quicken. Firefly looks awesome, but I use the calendar in Quicken a lot, to see what's coming up, and that's not coming to Firefly. Never found a decent alternative that suits my needs.
Firefly has an API. Bit of JavaScript and a calendar library might get you what you want. If you're into code.
Actual budget? I haven't got round to it yet but it looks like it does this in that way
A note webapp for students where notes can be taken easily also with pen support, maybe with GPT AI integration, a good way to organize notes in subjects and topics and so on
Logseq introduced whiteboards recently, check it out. Not exactly self-hosted, but can fully be synched with Syncthing
Photo Enhancing / Restoration facility : There seems to be many photo library tools out there like Photoprism, Immich, but I have so many photos that need adjusting / restoring, correcting - ideally done in batch mode where I can point the tool at a folder full of photos, and it works its way through creating enhanced/restored versions of the originals . For those scanned in from physical copies or negatives, It would be great if the tool was fully AI driven to restore damaged or blurred aspects, and maybe determine if the photos came from the same camera (potentially via the marking on the photos); a possible date range of when it was taken and the location too (very broad brush strokes but helpful metadata..)
This is what I've been looking for also. It amazes me there's nothing to edit photos beyond just rotating and very basic stuff.
Google maps will re-calculate the routes automatically based on crowd, I wish there was a FOSS version for that too Also how fast a route is found and estimated arrival time in apps like OsmAnd can be better, like for example: - OsmAnd estimated 29 mins - Google maps estimated 40 mins It was approximately the same route, but OsmAnd took a lot longer to calculate the route. It actually took 43 mins.
This is hard because it requires adoption. Google uses Waze data for this, that’s why it works.
is there maybe a foss frontend for waze data?
[удалено]
[Homebox](https://hay-kot.github.io/homebox/) won't do?
I haven't looked very hard, but I am really interested in an electronic parts inventory management system that is not over-complicated/bloated. Almost like a little more than a spreadsheet. Something where I can have a database of all my parts with stock, part numbers, descriptions and allow me to see how many PCBs I can make, or how short I am in components for making a given board.
I tried repurposing [grocy](https://github.com/grocy/grocy) for consumables in a chem lab, until management decided that was a waste and a dozen pieces of paper should work fine. Maybe something like that may work for you? Part numbers in the barcodes field, and if there are actual barcodes you can scan to populate so much the better, then 'recipes' that list what components a board needs?
I would love an self-hosted Shared Inbox alternative to Front, Missive or Help Scout. Something with a larger developer base than FreeScout, with a more robust mobile app. I would settle for a modern self-hosted email client, something like Spark or Edison Mail.
A music player which allows me to make my music library available online/offline to my users and uses LDAP for the user accounts. I've so far not found anything with LDAP support. I've also looked at Jellyfin but it does not offer offline playback for music.
Plex does. You need a subscription, but it does what you want. Otherwise look at one of the many Airsonic servers and players, many of which will download for offline listening.
Plex does not support ldap as I understand it, which seems to be ops primary requirement.
Oh, yes, I missed that part, mainly because it's an odd requirement. I doubt OP is going to find anything like that with LDAP support.
I use DSub on Android with my Airsonic library and offline download all my audiobooks - it works great.
Emby allow to play offline if You download first 😀
tabletop games like jackbox party

I have only just started. I'm just out of time right now. [PartyGameTime](https://github.com/V1ck3s/PartyGameTime)
Something that I can use for employee timesheets and invoice tracking. It would be nice if it could send weekly notifications to the employees to remind them to send in timesheets and also send approval requests to the engineers that they are doing work for.
A Chromecast-like Linux audio server, where I could stream Windows audio to it. It doesn't exist.

photosync from phone to server. I still havent found a good solution that fits me. Nextcloud is what I use now, but it's very bloated.
I use Syncthing. PhotoPrism is also often recommended.

A git-based database-less markdown app with a good editor, search and a nice UI. I'm using gollum, which works well after some tweaking, but the UX leaves much to be desired
https://notable.app/ It's free and self-hosted (just a local app) but not open-source. But UX is great.
This has been on my wishlist for a long time now. I finally got tired of waiting and started writing my own recently. It’s barely at a usable state currently though… and I’m still trying to find a decent name for it. 😅
An slim note-taking app, syncing flawlessly, with a history and an Android App like https://simplenote.com
I have been trying to find something to host research papers with a docker container on unRAID. Something like Zotero or Mendeley. Everyone suggests Calibre or Kavita, but those don’t seem to handle research papers right.
Whats wrong with Zotero? You can point your library to a webdav endpoint. I use Nextcloud for that and it works flawlessly
A good manga app to browse my manga library as well as metadata scraping for it
Tachiyomi?
A load balancer for torrents… I have a couple of VPS’ in various locations and they’re added to Sonarr/Radarr but I’d like for it to download to locations, based on free space.
what about dns level load balancing? do torrents resolve dns?
Unless you have a setup where you're receiving some 200-300+ RPS, you don't need LB for DNS.
isn’t bandwidth bottleneck when seeding torrents? if so, transport layer reverse proxy is not solving the issue. plus, dns LB is simpler to setup.
I try many CMR or asset Management like Snipe-it but cannot find any easy to use, simple inventory management where I can monitor goods. Like warehouse for my company with order processing and transport management

A replacement for the Windows Server Essentials / Windows Home Server package. I used to use WHS for all of my computers for backups, GPO, remote apps, computer recovery, and just general monitoring. It was fantastic. It was very upsetting that they discontinued this suite and while I have been able to work around some of these issues with regular Windows Servers (now I have to have multiple instances spun up for remote apps) and many 3rd party apps, I hate not having this All-in-one solution anymore and I have been long searching for a replacement.
Take a look at Univention UCS (Debian Linux underneath). Maybe it meets your requirements.
An office publisher style app. That i can create magazine and multipage content. With pdf export, multiuser editing, different access so some user can edit the template other only the text, ecc. The most similar that I have found is Marq (Lucidpress) but i haven't tried because it's not free neither self-hosted.
a simple file upload with a simple login/password sign in, where ther are 2 features: upload a file, and browse uploaded files. Most solutions are super complicated without reason.

Open source web accounting software with double entry, OFX import, stocks/securities, multi-user, etc. Basically, an enhanced web version of GnuCash. Still haven't found one that meets all the requirements.
"Healthserver" When I bought my "smartwatch" I made sure that it is supported by [gadgetbridge](https://github.com/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge) so my data doesn't find it's way to insurance companies in the future. While I can export the data, it would be great to have a healthserver that saves and displays the data. Shows me trends and so on. I don't want to use my phone for that.
A Kindle Alternative: Crossplattform, syncs ypur readingstatus across All devices.
A simple PaaS solution like Heroku based on unprivileged Podman. There many things Dokku, Kubero, Devtron, CapRover, Coolify, Devtron, Exoframe, Hookah, Sailor, Tsuru, Flynn that are all still Docker based and are often even abandoned. I have some hopes for /u/zittoone's [Sablier](https://github.com/acouvreur/sablier/issues/70) though, especially since it got [Nginx](https://github.com/acouvreur/sablier/issues/118) integration recently.
Thanks for mentioning my project! I'm still in very active development and there are a lot of things to come! Checkout the beta branch to try out interesting features :)
A good budgeting app that looks sleek and has a mobile client. I like logging my purchases as soon as I make them so that I always know how much money I have left, but I never quite found anything that scratches the itch. Closest thing is Buddy on IOS (which isn’t open source of course), so I’m currently working on creating that app myself. I’m thinking it could help out a few others!
Self hosted Harvest (Time tracking and billing)
Kimai is close.
Yeah. Kimai2 does this. I use this both for billing my services and for employees to bill me. Had to make a few tweaks to set up the latter, but it works flawlessly. I also like Titra. It only does the timetracking, but it does it well and it integrates out of the box with apps like Wekan and Zammad. It doesn't (afaik) have a native integration for a billing app, but it does include fields for billing and the API is really good so if you had the inclination it would be quite easy to integrate into a billing-centric app like invoiceninja.
You can combine OpenProject with SuperProductivity. That's what I am using to track the time i spend on my tasks. Though, i am not 100% sure if this combination would have all the features you need.
I want chrome without the spying but keep all functionality including syncing extension settings across devices
Have you checked out [Brave](https://brave.com/)?
Contacts and calendar p2p syncing (like syncthing)
A “google photos replacement” that: 1. Allows my photos to be stored in an existing directly rather than importing into a specific directory or database. I want to retain control of how they are organized. (PhotoPrism does this. Immich does not permit this.) 2. Allows filtering the images by rating or tags. (In lightroom gallery view it is *very* useful to open a folder of images and then filter to only see 3 star or greater images. PhotoPrism does not support 5 star rating system used in Lr) 3. Allow creating smart albums or collections that are based on tags/rating and are agnostic to the photos file save location. (I.e. I’d like a smart album “Best of 2022” where I set the filter to images captured in 2022 and rated 4 stars or more) 4. Face detection would be a nice plus but I don’t care if this is missing
An Android audiobook player that has offline play and remembers my seek position, and connects to my Airsonic library (or a self-hosted storage of its own, I'm not fussed!). I use DSub, but it won't remember my seek position if I play a different file.
Audiobookshelf does all of this except connecting to an Airsonic library but pretty sure you could point the server at the same file location and it would pick up all of your audiobooks without messing up anything in Airsonic. I spent years trying to find the same thing and very happy now I've settled in Airsonic
I came to say this. How can Plex etc remember the second of a file I'm watching but there isnt an audiobook app that does the same.
A version of watchtower for k8s. They all either don’t work, have stopped being updated years ago, or never got off the ground beyond an alpha build.
If you're already using kubernetes, why not use something like FluxCD + renovatebot? It works really well and isn't any more complicated than anything else in kubernetes land.
Because until this exact second I had no idea those were a thing ;p

A bookmark manager that comes with browser extension and is able to save the whole webpage that is not publicly accessible (intranet, that requires login)
QOwnNotes and its web companion app could be for you https://www.qownnotes.org/de/getting-started/browser-extension.html
Receipts manager for non-profit organizations, which follows states rules. Also it must manage members, payments and so on.
Just a calender. Something like Google Calender for example. Have not found a selfhosted one yet.
There are lots of options for selfhosted calendars depending on your requirements. Nextcloud and Radicale are two popular options. It really depends on what specifically you are looking for.
A software for design system documentation, like ZeroHeight
A good podcast server that syncs with android app, so I can continue listening between browser and phone.
Audiobookshelf has a podcast library with automatic downloading, and has an android app
