I just recently started playing around with an old pc as my homeserver and am curious of any recommendations for lesser known self hostable foss software that you would recommend

    On my 2 raspberry pi’s I am running Pihole, Pivpn, Syncthing, Photoprism, Unify controller, Heimdall (webpage that has all my servers…locally accessible, or non local via wireguard connection via pivpn) Might be more can’t remember! Prob more from other suggestions on here over next few days 😂

      Might I suggest Dashy/Homarr? Heimdall has been abandoned I think. I went from Heimdall to Organizarr to Dashy/Homarr.

        Heimdall still being maintained via linixserver, but just looked up dashy/homarr…and looks pretty nifty! Think I might spin this up and run both until I figure which one I like best 😊 thanks!

          No worries :) I didn’t know that. Last time I checked the GitHub looked kind of dead. It is a great project so I’m glad it’s alive.

          Homarr is kind of good for a very simple page and is very robust but dashy is really powerful. It has become an essential part of my homelab.
