That list isn’t completely accurate for what you’re after. My project, for instance, is not on the PHP list despite it being written in PHP because the platform is Docker. The selfh.st filter as described by eshol might be the better way to go.

But if we want self-hosted software to become a real alternative to commercial services, we need people, especially developers, to care enough to build and maintain it.

Is it a real alternative. And not just that, in many cases it’s better. There are many good projects out there which developers care enough about to maintain that make no money at all, simply because those developers enjoy doing that, or if they see the benefit to building such software.

Sometimes they provide solutions like paid hosting while keeping the self hosted version free.

This looks really nice, fast and well considered. I’d love to understand more about these lighthouse nodes.

It’s a PHP container On the front end I’m using Bootstrap and theming it with Catppuccin. The data for the home energy charts are populated from the Home Assistant API. They’re drawn with chart.js. The server stats are pulled from PHP shell_exec commands, and drawn with Bootstrap progress bars. The temperature card also takes data from the Home Assistant API, which also has an endpoint for local weather data. This doesn’t update as often as I’d like. But it compares the outdoor temperature with the reported temperature of my thermostat, and then the messages below that are determined by a comparison of those values. I’m also using HTMX to load each card, and each tab of the energy card separately so that I don’t have no wait on all requests for the dashboard to load. Not that it’s slow - the home assistant API is surprisingly efficient at loading a great deal of logs. When you click my dogs face, she says WOOF WOOF WOOF in a modal to offer me a search with searxng.

I’d add “time to next meal” but she seems to know that already down to the minute!

I built a dashboard themed around my dog. It uses the Home Assistant API to get various stats from the house. I’m pleased with it!

Oh I see! I’m not the OP. I’m not sure if you meant to respond to my comment initially.

It just allows you to quickly make pages of content, like Wikipedia. It has a tree navigation and search. Here’s a demo site: https://demo.leafwiki.com/home

I keep my container volumes in sub-directory of that of the docker compose file and tar them up and put them somewhere safe. I spent ages trying to figure out how to back up a container, because I thought that the state of a database was in memory, which I suppose it is, but when you stop it, it’s just a bunch of files like everything else, so I elected to keep it simple. I’ve been thinking of creating a cron job to do it routinely. I’m not sure what you mean regarding the codeberg question.

Awesome! I have a very similar setup to you. I recommend installing pi-hole regardless and putting at least Hagezi’s normal block list on it, just for a sane web browsing experience.

Home Assistant is also really good, because it includes a bunch of stuff that you probably wouldn’t first think of. For instance, I’m using its API to request the indoor temperature from my home thermostat and the outdoor temperature from a weather module that it has built in, and I’ve programmed it to let me know when it’s too hot to walk the dog, and when to open/close the windows in the house to keep it as cool as possible in this heatwave.

I’m using LeafWiki for home documentation. A list of things I intend to try hosting, my backup strategy which I’m bound to otherwise forget. I’m thinking about putting all of our meals on there so that we when we get tired of a particular meal for a while, we can return to it when we’re at a loose end with the shopping.
