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.

Factor in having to instruct everyone to download the app and create an account rather than just go to a URL you can access from any device anywhere and put in your show/movie/song and in a few minutes you have it.

You don't have to download an app for Overseerr to add things. It's just a URL you can access from any device anywhere (assuming you've got a domain etc like you must for your web app) and put in your show/movie and in a few minutes you have it.

Overseerr doesn’t monitor my services either, or whatever else I want to do.

It does when you set it up.

No skin off my back, don't use it for all I care - I was just pointing out that a fantastic ready made service already exists for that.

Ah, no I appreciate the back and forth. I was looking into Overseerr once upon a time, but my Plex server is running in a Windows VM and I didn't want to mess with Windows Docker. A python script and a few HTML files seemed much easier at the time and got the desired result. I am eventually planning to migrate the server to Linux, but haven't had the time and energy and would have to literally schedule the downtime with my family. It still doesn't look like Overseerr integrates with Soularr or Readarr but I've made a note to play around a bit with it in the future.
