Hi guys! I was wondering:
What self hosted software are you missing? What would you which existed?
Background: I am a quite Senior Dev and have 6 months between gigs. Would be fun to start a side project to keep my skills sharp.
You must log in or register to comment.
It’s been suggested before, but I’ll echo it. We need a Portainer competitor with different goals. Fork Portainer & sail the seas. I think you’ll find a lot of hidden support here from other developers. Portainer not acknowledging backup/recovery is a major gap IMO. Proxmox has Proxmox Backup Server, where is my Portainer Backup Server? Good luck!
Think about reaching out to some charitable organizations - especially small ones like local pet reduces, food banks, social services, and so on - and volunteer your time.
They might be less interesting projects like updating a website or adding registration services, or you might do something interesting with data analysis, but it might have a huge impact for that organization and for the community.
You may also be able to deduct your donated time as a donation in kind for tax purposes, but talk to an accountant to get the details on how you’ll have to work that out.
Built in requester for jellyfin
Check out jellyseer
currently use jellyseer, would rather something built into jellyfin
Does a missing feature in existing Foss count?
Meh … not really. … I don’t want to read hours of docs/architecture first, before I write code.
A good SamsungNotes-like self hosted web app with Android/ios clients and pen support would be GREAT
An extension to Nextcloud Notes would sufficate. You already have an app and a good architecture to extend.
I’m using rNote, doesn’t have a web interface but works great for me
yeah me too, i really like it, but no phone/tablet support :(
I have been looking for something like that as well for years
Can’t you use obsidian for that ?
After all of the hype about various GPT’s, I still can not find the one thing I’ve been looking for from the start:
A completely local and private LLM on M-series Mac that can ingest and learn from all of my sent mail (from Mac mail) along with any documents I manually add and answer new emails or write other documents in my voice/as me
That’s because LLMs don’t do that.
The companies that offer those services basically do some tricks behind the curtain.
Like let’s say you want an LLM to learn your corporate docs. LLMs can’t do that because they need millions of text from across the internet just to learn to speak English… You can’t feed your 1000 docs and 10,000 emails in and point to it and say “Forget the billion documents you injested and pay attention to this… but also retain the ability to speak English”
What they actually implement is a standard text search engine, that returns matching paragraphs from the relevant documents, prompts to LLM with something like "This paragraph may contain an answer to user question X. If it does, please paraphrase it.
Yes, that’s exactly what I want it to do
Most of my 60-70 email replies per day are answered in almost the exact same way
I want it to read an email and then, using paragraphs or sentences from my previous emails, automatically generate a response
There are already companies out there who are generating what they term small language models - basically hybrid models of say gpt 3.5 plus a large volume of corporate data - but they are all cloud based
Others offer plugins to help answer your emails
I’d like a combination of the same to run locally
There are already companies out there who are generating what they term small language models - basically hybrid models of say gpt 3.5 plus a large volume of corporate data - but they are all cloud based
I think you will find most of these are not small language models, but are instead the thing I said above - a llm like gpt + a search engine. Even small language models require millions of texts and only perform very specialised tasks.
OBDII web ui that can interface with bluetooth or wifi elm327. I don’t need apps on my phone taking up battery tracking my whole trip. All I need is a quick update when I’m within wifi or bluetooth range to give all the important data of my choosing in one quick burst. If there is a observer page I can have home assistant scrape from it. Torque is just not ideal for my use, I am currently one of the few users of it in home assistant but will not be using it any more just because it’s kind of a pain in the butt.
Self Hosted version of
With WebUI.
Can connect to your local, self hosted or cloud storage and manipulate files.
Yes there is a few options for automation, but they all require scripting your automation, and while that’s fine for a lot of people, for others that will always be a dead end.
Hey man. I have a few ideas. PM me if you haven’t settled on a project and want to chat. Do you use Home Assistant at all?
Yes I do. Why not share them open?
Those who could “steal” your idea have plenty themselves, and those who can’t steal them are not to worry about ;)
As for myself: I have plenty of ideas, but want to build something people need.
Lol. I’m not worried about people “stealing” open source project ideas. Go for it! Just I have a lot of half formed ones and it’s not too clear what you are looking for.
One for example:
I use Bring! which is a great - and simple to use - grocery shopping list app. They refused to open the API though so no HA integration. I think creating an open version of that that works with the new HA list integration would be awesome. You can set up automations to say scan empty bottles from the fridge, and alert you when you go near the grocery store.
Happy to write a design spec or such and do testing but I’m not much of a coder.
I was going to get my kid to make the generic icons, but maybe more like Material theme. Wondering if AI can generate them quickly.
Garden manager. Put in your zone, pull information from web (not sure where but fields like light level, germination/fruiting times), link to a calendar and add custom scheduled items (monthly fertilizer, watering schedule maybe even based in local " of precipitation (if you’ve had 5" of rain, apply that to “outside group” but not “inside group” of plants, pull links to About information for wikipedia or other pages, maybe even highlights of cooking or medicinal uses.
How about this idea:
You have a interface for youtube or local media library (if you use youtubedl) and you can create playlists of videos, and THEN you can watch them and, while watching, add timestamped comments / notes etc (think about comments on soundcloud, only for you only). It would be ideal for self-learning platform - you download some courses for offline watching and you can then create timestamped notes etc per video. Later you can revisits this videos and go trough your own timestamps and reiterate and learn something in your own words and thoughts.
- open source social media management where its truly open source and no fee to schedule out video or picture posting. socioboard was out but the developer backed out. now mixpost is the enxt best but over $100 to have a verion thats anyuse to anyone really.
- a VIDEO AND PICTURE DAM like Adobe bridge but can run on a NAS box like PhotoPrism. The key would be the keywords, tags, exif, meta whatever you call it would be universal so the tags entered on my android phone using gallery or pixturesapp would show in the photo ai system so they can be searched upon. i dont mind goign to a web gui for everything and would be better if i could browse via network share or use with syncthing to keep all devices synced to this DAM.
- A live streaming platform that can be run on a DIY YoloBox! It needs to have easy connecting to the DRIFT API (gawd… if GoPro had this feature… wooooo weee)
https://us.driftinnovation.com/blogs/news/how-to-integrate-a-drift-camera-into-your-own-application
One should be able to get a framework mainboard, touch screen lcd from ALI and a 3d printed case with a could hdmi to usbc dongels and be set to live stream with over 20 cameras! The drift Camera up to 11 can all connect to a wifi network and this software handles the obss linkage as well.
a selfhosted version of Padlet. As a Highschoolteacher i would love this!
A proper alternative to Quicken that truly supports importing existing Quicken data file and supports manual data entry. Nothing fancy such as downloading data from banks etc.
Honestly, what I’m missing is I wish Keybase would release their server source code.
Zoom has ran that software into the ground and buried keybase in a pile of sh*t. It would be like 10 Christmases in one if someone reversed the client to create an open-source server solution or Zoom released the server code for keybase.
I love Keybase. Absolutely love that program. I HATE the company who owns it.
