This hasn’t been asked in a while, and I really loved reading the last discussion so I’m hoping to kick it off again and see what has changed!
What I’d like to know is:
- What specific products do you wish you could host on your own infrastructure, but the product does not offer such a deployment method
- Do you or would you use the product without being able to self-host? I.E. In its current state
- Do you think your employer, if any, holds the same opinions?

Google maps alternative that’s as good as Google maps. Its the only service left that has kept me from degoogling 100%
I like Apple Maps, but to completely compete with Google Maps it would need to stop being exclusive for Apple devices. Open Street Maps data quality is very close to Google Maps, but the applications for it themselves aren’t as intuitive and feature rich
I would love to see a self-hosted VDE solution. We have a ton of VM options so I’d like to see the next logical step.
You might want to look into Kasm
Any MDM solution. All self-hosted options that were available (onemdm, flyve) are dead. I’m my own employer, so we definitely agree everything should be self-hosted :)
What does MDM stand for?
I’m looking into ManageEngine MDM Pro. It only runs on windows tho :-/
I use the self hosted ManageEngine MDM at work and really like it
That’s great. My only complaint is it only runs on windows, but oh well. I’m assuming you guys are using Windows server?
What about Connectwise Automate (formerly Labtech)?
Any priority features of the MDM and how many devices managed total?
I own a small business, 20-30 devices only. But they’re a mix of all possible platforms (Windows, MacOS, Android, iOS). Would like to force disk encryption, strong password policy, automatically install/update/configure corporate VPN/mail/etc., prevent use of blacklisted programs, remote wipe of lost/stolen/otherwise compromised devices. I know it’s not feasible with any selfhosted solution, sadly.
I agree. Literally, everything.
Sadly, there will never be a truly self-hosted solution given how the devices in question rely on Google, Samsung, Microsoft or Apple servers to be active and available on initial enrollment. The control plane can be on-prem, but the actual enforcement is done through built-in management APIs that depend on external services.
That said, I created my own zero-cost MDM solution by leveraging Android Enterprise APIs along with Samsung Knox. There’s no pretty UI though - everything is done through API calls using Postman. Enrollment is achieved by scanning a QR code on the device’s first boot. I’m managing ~450 Samsung tablets and a dozen mobile phones using this approach.
hmm, for Apple a MDM Push certificate is the link between the two, for Google the managed play store, neither of these have a “requirement” for a SaaS solution.
both of these are just to connect the device to the MDM platform via a “managment profile” (waves hands), the settings and enforcement is all on the MDM platform.
A very long time ago (the days of the 3G) I had an internal web server that hosted iPhone configuration profiles, it was very (very) “basic”
Granted this is only for Apple (and with a last commit in 2022 might be dead) but is useful for showing what part connects where to do what.
Self-hosted alternative to Google Street View (with the ability to upload own street views of course).
One of the advantages of selfhosting is that I can cut down on subscriptions. Unfortunately, I cannot find an RSS reader with powerful filters and rules like Inoreader. I’ve tried FreshRSS but it’s just not as powerful as Inoreader.
I wish I could selfhost Inoreader.
Something better than RedMine.
You can try OpenProject as alternative to Redmine.
OpenProject is definitely good but its surprisingly resource heavy (if you plan to run it on google or amazon cloud) and some features are paid. Could not run it on a free Google Cloud instance. If memory serves me, agile style kanban boards for the team are not included in the community version (needs verification). Still its very good.

Google photos (I know about prism and have it, still not the same)

email… Fuuuck all you spammer asshomes, I just wanna host my own email 😭
-
Steam but for my own local games and isos

Did I already say email?

Sports Organization Management. The only ones I have seen have not had many updates lately, zuluru and doubleheader.
I was able to get zuluru to run via docker but had to really play with it and use older docker images for mysql and its php base image as the repo’s docker compose file relied on latest tags. It has a lot of nice features for managing a team org but its UI is rather simple/dated. https://github.com/Zuluru/Zuluru3
Have not gotten doubleheader up yet but plan to try soon but its repo has not been updated for almost 3yrs. https://github.com/harisjlatif/doubleheader
This is definitely something I figured there would be more self hosted options for, but after searching around, you have a point. Those seem to be the best options and still are lacking/ unstable.
OneNote. Yes, I know, NextCloud, Joplin, etc. But there isn’t really anything with everything - handwriting, voice recognition/dictation, etc.
A powerful AI model.
I would love a local Alexa clone.
Sentry, on ARM64 and/or less ram
Agreed. I like sentry, but requiring 8gb of ram minimum is a bit much for small home servers.
8GB is also just not correct. It’s more like 9.5, and expect even that to crash sometimes. Dunno what the hell they are doing to use so much memory.
Yea it’s pretty excessive for what it is, isn’t worth the resources.
Maybe try GlitchTip
Tried this, but the UI doesn’t look very polished
I see this post more open to company selfhosting, whereas the post you mentioned focuses on homelabs. I’ve got both homelab and company servers, and the selfhosted needs differ a lot.
In a while, means they just didn’t bother to look before posting.
I wish my fossil hybrid watch could be self hosted so my health data and location aren’t sent to fossil
Something like Steam. I’ve got a bunch of old games and other software, CDs, floppy images, etc., with registration keys and so forth (sometimes multiples), as well as newer stuff I got through Humble Bundle, or even various free/open source games, servers, etc., but installing them can be a pain. I’d like something that could host the files, list the games, and install them on a whim, along with self-hosted “cloud” storage so I can switch between computers easily. I already use Steam, of course, but it doesn’t host my old games, at least not without paying them for the privilege. My boss… Would probably be interested, actually. Not business related, but still.
There was something released a while back similar to what you’re after. It had a funny name, I think it was crack pipe and then they changed it due to well the name of it but I can’t for the life of me remember what it was
How was it call before? The url is game vault already 🤔
They originally called it something like crackpipe as they said it was for those games you acquired “elsewhere”
Hi, GameVault developer here. Can confirm. It’s exactly what you are looking for.
Could I use a MariaDB for this? Already have one setup with backups etc, would rather use that, than also setup a postgres with backups
I’m sorry. It only supports PostgreSQL and SQLITE atm.
I need this, but with a client for like DOS or Windows 98
