Always enjoyed scrolling though these posts, figured I’d give it a go here:
What are your must-have selfhosted services?
Some of mine:
- Adguard Home - Add blocker
- Adguard Home Sync - sync multiple adguard instances
- Bookstack - documentation
- BorgMatic - config driven backup
- Change Detection - monitor websites for changes, prices for example.
- FreshRSS - RSS reader
- Home Assistant - home automation
- KitchenOwl - groceries
- Rclone - sync backups to remote storage
- Traefik - reverse proxy
- Vikunja - todo list
- Wireguard Easy - VPN
Borg is great for backups.
To recover a running system you would normally use snapshots but backups. You want something like Timeshift, which integrates with the boot system and lets you boot into a previous snapshot if you mess up your install. You can also use a specialized filesystem like btrfs which has a built-in, more efficient method of doing snapshots.
