What webapps do you selfhost that aren't media/game servers? (lemm.ee)

Since selfhosted clouds seem to be the most common thing ppl host, i'm wondering what else ppl here are selfhosting. Is anyone making use of something like excalidraw in the workplace? Curious about what apps that would be useful to always access over the web that aren't mediaservers.

Foundry VTT (I know it's technically for a game but it's technically a virtual tabletop and not a game itself)

AI Chatbots for tech support

I technically self-host an image generation AI through my main home PC, but that's made less accessable and only on when I specifically demand it via ssh lol

Occasionally I'll throw a temp website up for local events for like event schedules or whatever, an easily accessable and editable html file or whatever

I see mention of Foundry, I upvote. My friends and I have been using it for a couple years and still find new ways to be impressed by it.

I just started porting a DnD Beyond campaign into it and using it to store homebrew world info for a future game, but so far it's been basically everything I ever wanted from Roll20 or DDB, but self-hosted and they give you access to the code so you can just... Code in features you want

Thinking about pirating the FFXIV TTRPG when someone puts it up and making it in Foundry if it's not already done by someone smarter eventually lol

Foundry was the 2nd thing i started self hosting (the first being pihole). Have had it running for 5 years now.

Other than that i only recently started expanding my self hosting:

  • tandoor recipes
  • navidrome (for music, mentioning it since it isn't the typical media server recommendation)
  • personal knowledge management (pkm) static website that i build with hugo
  • umami analytics
  • Remark42 for comment system on one of my internal static websites
  • a few smaller things that i built. One is a discord bot from before i started hating discord, and then a few web apps that i haven't open sourced yet
