Always enjoyed scrolling though these posts, figured I’d give it a go here:
What are your must-have selfhosted services?
Some of mine:
- Adguard Home - Add blocker
- Adguard Home Sync - sync multiple adguard instances
- Bookstack - documentation
- BorgMatic - config driven backup
- Change Detection - monitor websites for changes, prices for example.
- FreshRSS - RSS reader
- Home Assistant - home automation
- KitchenOwl - groceries
- Rclone - sync backups to remote storage
- Traefik - reverse proxy
- Vikunja - todo list
- Wireguard Easy - VPN
I often see wireguard and adguard or pihole mentioned. There’s a service that provides a combination of wireguard and pihole in 1 docker compose file and has a web interface for wireguard clients (wgeasy) called wirehole. Been using our for 2 years or so, very happy with it.
In my opinion the most elegant solution for an ad blocking VPN.
I think a lot of people run opnsense, pfsense or similar.
So, run some sort of DNS blacklist on their home network, and wireguard into their home network
