Self Hosted Roundup #22

Happy New Year to all and we hope you are well as we roll into 2023. New self hosted apps are on the rise again! We also have a new site update. 👍 So if you missed it, we go over quite a few new changes around here including our new forum and subscription changes. 😱 So be sure to check out that article at some point when you are done here. ✔️

What's new in Self Hosted this week?

This week there wasn't a ton of new apps surfacing, however, we did find a few golden nuggets for you to try out. Let's get right into it! 🚀

HomelabAPI

HomelabAPI is a self-hosted API that you can use to consolidate all of your homelab notifications and other outputs. This allows you to use HomelabAPI as your central input/output hub, and if you ever want to change where your homelab outputs go, it's just a matter of updating your HomelabAPI configuration.

Supported Inputs

ChangeDetection.io, Headphones, HealthChecks, Home Assistant, LazyLibrarian, Radarr, Monit, SmokePing, Sonarr, Synology, Tailscale, UptimeRobot, Any POST Webhook that allows you to specify a request body

Here is a (restricted) demo. https://demo.homelabapi.org

Due to the nature of HomelabAPI, a fully functional demo is a bit tricky, however I do have a copy installed on the below URL so that people can check the system out and look through the API documentation.

Briefkasten

Briefkasten is a self-hosted bookmarking application that works with any Prisma compatible database (MySQL, Postgres, SQLite, etc.)

Diosic

Diosic is an open source web-based music collection server and streamer. Mainly suitable for users who need to deploy on servers with low hardware specifications.

Highlights

Helper - Project Management

Helper is n open source Project management tool based on Laravel and Filament.

Prerequisites

• PHP 8+
• MySQL 8+
• Pusher account

You can see Helper in action here: https://project-helper.net (can't seem to log in though)

Helper does not currently have a Docker image however, I did put in a issue on the Helper Githup repo asking about it. You can go there and add your support for the feature request!

Forumium

Forumium is a simple Forum platform made with the Laravel Framework and the elegant TALLkit Filament. The development of the graphical part, and what gave us the majority of the development ideas, was based on the Open Source Flarum discussion system.

What is the key differences between Forumium and Flarum?

Forumium is based on Laravel and the logic is specific.  The administration is based on a TALLkit (Filament) that makes it more extensible, and also some profile stats (visits, charts, etc.)
