My Favorite Self-Hosted Apps Launched In 2024

2024 has undoubtedly been a fantastic year for self-hosted software. Not only were developers busy delivering significant updates to existing projects – they were also launching new projects left and right. In my weekly newsletter, I averaged featuring anywhere from 10-15 new projects a week (I'm fairly certain the record was 26 in a single week).

As someone who keeps a close eye on many of these projects after launch, I thought it'd be helpful for others to compile a list of those I've found to be particularly noteworthy. I've included them based on a number of informal 'scoring' factors, which include functionality (uniqueness, etc.), community reception, and development activity.

And while I've compiled this list to help those who might not have the bandwidth to explore every option, I'd still recommend readers make an effort to discover and support other projects as well (I do have my own biases, after all). If you're new to selfh.st, I have a helpful directory of self-hosted software and alternatives that might also be helpful.

Hoarder

It’s hard to ignore the impact Hoarder has had in the read later and bookmarking software space, especially given Omnivore's recent news. The application came running right out of the gate with a clean interface for cataloguing links while also seamlessly integrating AI to assist users with tagging and organizing their articles. As a bonus, Hoarder comes with its own mobile apps for both iOS and Android while also supporting single sign-on.

Pinchflat

We’ve witnessed many YouTube frontends and downloaders come and go over the last several years, but Pinchflat’s release earlier this year turned a new page for those looking to collect and manage their favorite YouTube channels and playlists. Featuring a minimal interface and easy-to-spin up Docker container, Pinchflat makes subscribing to and downloading YouTube content a breeze – especially when streaming it through popular media servers like Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby.

Glance

Glance is a Swiss Army Knife dashboard that consolidates various feeds into a single page, with built-in support for RSS feeds, subreddits, bookmarks, Hacker News, YouTube feeds, calendars, stocks, Twitch channels, GitHub releases, and more. Its iFrame widget also allows easy integration with webpages and other dashboards for those looking to combine functionality with other unsupported tools.

Links: Source Code (Released Apr 2024)

Docmost

Docmost is a promising documentation and collaboration platform that quickly became a fan favorite with its initial launch halfway through the year. Featuring a modern, clean interface, Docmost supports multiple workspaces, real-time collaboration, comments, page history, attachments, and integrations with a few diagram services. The software is under active development and is expected to continue receiving new features that should make it a more than adequate alternative for other tools in the space.

Postiz

Postiz is a social media consolidation and scheduling tool with a touch of AI for those strategically managing multiple accounts. The application currently supports most popular social networks, and the development team has been extremely receptive to adding more. Postiz is also a one-stop-shop for post analytics, while standing out from the competition with its lack of paywalled features in its self-hosted edition.

Links: Website, Source Code (Released Sep 2024)

Beszel

Beszel is a lightweight resource monitoring tool that made a huge splash in the community given its lack of overhead versus similar tools like Grafana. The platform can be used to easily monitor system and Docker stats with configurable alerts for a number of resources. Its split installation functionality between hub and agents means it can be installed on multiple systems while leveraging multi-user support and SSO to ensure users only have access to the specific systems.

Links: Source Code (Released Jul 2024)

ByteStash

ByteStash is a sleek code snippet platform that launched just a few months ago. It features a modern interface that easily allows users to capture code snippets in various languages, with extensive search capabilities for later finding snippets by programming language or other keywords. The application also supports features like multiple users (including single sign-on) and fragments for storing the same snippet in various languages.

Links: Source Code (Released Oct 2024)

Beaver Habit Tracker

The launch of Beaver Habit Tracker scratched a very popular itch in the self-hosted world — habit tracking. Built for mobile use, the software features a mobile screen-friendly view for adding, managing, and tracking habits on-the-go. For those who need a little motivation to complete their tasks, Beaver Habit Tracker also features a GitHub streak-like chart for visualizing progress over a given period of time.

Links: Source Code (Released May 2024)

Streamyfin

Streamyfin is a Jellyfin client that was very well-received across the community with its Android and iOS launches earlier this year. The application features a modern interface with support for a ton of official and unofficial Jellyfin capabilities, including Trickplay images, intro/credits skipping, background audio, picture-in-picture, media downloads, and Chromecast support. Streamyfin makes a very compelling case for those who’ve previously been afraid to make the jump to Jellyfin from Plex due to a lack of capable clients.

Pocket ID

Pocket ID takes a novel approach to authentication capabilities by acting as a simple OIDC provider with support for passkeys only (yes, this means no passwords). Users can leverage Pocket ID’s functionality to replace similar but slightly more complex tools like Authelia, Authentik, or Keycloak for logging into their self-hosted services – eliminating the need for separate accounts for every service.

Links: Source Code (Released Aug 2024)

PdfDing

PdfDing is a PDF manager, viewer, and as of recent – editor – inspired by the likes of the popular bookmark manager Linkding in both name and design. PdfDing gives users an intuitive interface for tracking and accessing PDF files, with the ability to easily share with others – with or without password protection and expiration dates. For those managing multiple users, the application also supports single sign-on.

Links: Source Code (Released Jul 2024)

WhoDB

WhoDB is a lightweight database visualization and management tool meant to compete with existing database management solutions. The tool features a clean interface, fast performance, and broad support for various database systems. WhoDB’s integration with AI tools also makes it easy to quickly generate complex SQL queries directly from the application’s interface.

Links: Website, Source Code (Released Aug 2024)

Dawarich

Dawarich is a self-hosted location tracking alternative to Google Maps Timeline. The application integrates with a number of services for tracking user locations — OwnTracks and Home Assistant, to name a few — and provides an interactive map and statistics for later revisiting. Dawarich also provides import capabilities for users migrating to the platform who may not want to start from scratch.

Links: Website, Source Code (Released Apr 2024)

Slink

While a ton of new projects have popped up that leverage existing photo solutions to share media with others, Slink is a dedicated app for easily doing the same independently from other projects. Akin to hosted services like Imgur, Slink features the ability to upload several file types – which can be set to public or private – while allowing administrators to select from a number of backend storage providers to store the data.

Links: Source Code (Released Mar 2024)

GoDoxy

GoDoxy is a lightweight, easy-to-use reverse proxy developed to challenge some of the more traditional options in the space like NGINX and Traefik. Unlike many of the others, GoDoxy comes packaged with a web interface and dashboard while also supporting other common features like auto SSL cert management. However, what really sets it apart is its Docker integration with support for auto-configuration and the ability to stop idle containers and wake them when traffic is detected.

This Week in Self-Hosted

Happy Friday! Despite the chaos of the holidays, I still managed to capture a ton of notable software updates, launches (16!), and new directory apps for those looking for new software to deploy during their time off (sorry, but not sorry). The Community Content section also has a ton of great new guides for apps like Jellyfin and Authentik if you've been dragging your feet and are a looking for an excuse to finally deploy them.

If you follow my content, you're probably aware of a new project called Astroluma – a dashboard for self-hosted apps and services that also centralizes functionality like tasks, system monitoring, and weather. This week, it dropped a release that includes support for icon packs, featuring selfh.st/icons as the default pack for new installs. If you're unfamiliar with either, check them out!

In other news, I received my delivery of the new Home Assistance Voice preview device a few days early and have had a blast getting it up-and-running. While onboarding was a bit clunky, I've been incredibly impressed – especially with its microphone, which picks up audio so well that half of my commands fail because they're a combination of my voice and audio from a Bluey episode my daughter is streaming from across the house.

Lastly, if you're a regular listener of the YouTube/podcast version of this newsletter, you'll notice there is no release this week. The production involved in publishing an episode requires a bit more time than I had given the holiday and having been a bit under the weather. Rest assured, it'll be back next week!

As usual, thanks for the support and happy selfh.st/ing!

Meet Speedtest Tracker, a self-hosted application for monitoring the performance and uptime of an internet connection. With Speedtest Tracker, users are given a streamlined interface for managing a number of tracking-related features, which include viewing performance metrics (upload speeds, ping, packet loss, etc.), scheduling automated tests, and setting up notifications based on user-defined performance thresholds.

This Week in Self-Hosted

The initial draft of this week's newsletter had a cheeky comment about Americans celebrating Thanksgiving while also subsequently immersing themselves in the consumerism of Black Friday the following day, but I feel like those remarks have been overdone.

Instead, enjoy a brief list of deals I found for those looking to expand their setups this holiday season:

Happy selfh.st/ing!

PSA: Breaking Changes to Porkbun DNS Plugin for SWAG | Info :: LinuxServer.io

If you use the Porkbun certbot plugin with SWAG for DNS validation you need to ensure that you have updated your SWAG container to at least version 3.0.1-ls337 before 2024-12-01, as Porkbun are making changes to their API endpoint that will cause older versions of the plugin to stop working. Specifically, they are updating their API domain root from porkbun.com to api.porkbun.com. If you are unsure which version of SWAG you are running, you can use docker inspect -f ’{{ index .

This Week in Self-Hosted

Regardless of anyone's thoughts on social media or recent events, it's hard to ignore the influx of users Bluesky has been gaining over the past several weeks. If you're looking to make the jump, I recently took the plunge and am crafting a self-hosting starter pack to help ease the transition. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to be added!

In other news, self-hosted music streamers are undoubtedly familiar with the Feishin project – a popular desktop music player compatible with Navidrome, Jellyfin, and Subsonic audio servers. This week, the project officially went into maintenance mode after dropping its v0.12.0 release as the developer shifts their focus to Audioling, a complete rewrite of the project with a new backend.

The project is still in its infancy and doesn't have any official releases, but the developer is tentatively planning to have something out by the end of 2024.

Happy selfh.st/ing!

Self-Hosting Guide to Alternatives: Pocket, Omnivore

Bookmarking and read later services are valuable tools for those who stumble across more content than they can digest or frequently need to revisit articles and webpages at a later point in time. And in light of the recent news of ElevenLab's Omnivore acquisition, FOSS advocates and self-hosters alike are on the hunt for alternatives to the popular but soon-to-be-defunct project.

Fortunately, several viable alternatives exist that make switching from popular platforms like Pocket and Omnivore a breeze.

Wallabag

Wallabag is arguably the most popular self-hosted alternative in the space, and for good reason – the platform is easy to deploy and includes all of the essential functionality required for archiving, saving, and sharing content. Relative to some of the other options, Wallabag's interface is a bit simplistic and the application doesn't currently come with any AI features for things like automatic tagging and article summarization – but some users may find this to be more of a feature than a gap.

Wallabag's biggest strength shines in its integrations with third-party tools for easily archiving content without direct access to its web interface, which include browser extensions, mobile apps, eink devices, and RSS readers.

Deployment is straightforward with options for both bare metal and Docker. Its default SQLite database can also be replaced with MySQL or PostgreSQL if desired.

Shiori

Shiori is another popular bookmarking alternative that places a heavy emphasis on simplicity. The project describes itself as a 'simple clone of Pocket', which means it doesn't go above and beyond in terms of additional features and maintains a minimal interface that closely resembles the popular read later service. Notably, Shiori ships with its own page rendering feature to capture and archive webpages locally rather than relying on third-party services like the Internet Archive.

Aside from adding links directly from its web interface, Shiori supports adding links via Chrome and Firefox web extensions that are currently in beta.

Shiori is easy to deploy on both bare metal and Docker and provides options for swapping out its SQLite database with PostgreSQL or MySQL.

Linkwarden

Linkwarden is a popular bookmarking app that has received a ton of recent praise in the self-hosted community for its fast pace of development and extensive support for third-party integrations. Its user interface has evolved significantly from its early days and new functionality is added regularly on top of its already-extensive feature set – webpage screenshots, Wayback Machine archiving, organization via collections and tags, sharing, pinning, multi-user capabilities with SSO, and a ton of customization options.

The application comes with a ton of support for adding bookmarks via third-party tools, which include Floccus sync, desktop apps, Raycast support, and browser extensions.

Linkwarden can be installed via bare metal or Docker and requires a PostgreSQL database for storage.

Linkding

Linkding is another popular bookmarking app that places an intentional focus on minimalism and simplicity. While its web interface supports article thumbnails, its default view is text-based and features a basic listing of article names and descriptions with tags for filtering off to the side. Despite this, it rivals the others in this article in functionality with support for web archiving, multiple users and SSO, metadata import and extraction, and tags for organization.

The platform also seems to have a bit of a cult following in terms of third-party companion apps with support for adding links via browser extensions and dedicated apps.

Linkding can be easily installed via Docker, supports SQLite and PostgreSQL database engines, and comes with multiple images of varying sizes for archival support as needed.

Looking for self-hosted alternatives to other popular services? Check out other posts in the alternatives series and selfh.st/apps, a directory of self-hosted software with filters for tags and alternatives for easy browsing and discovery.

Hoarder

Hoarder is – relatively speaking – one of the new kids on the block after dropping its first release earlier this year. Despite this, its strong initial support for AI-based tagging, stable first-party mobile apps, and a modern, clean interface have quickly propelled it to popularity rivaling its counterparts. Unlike some of the other alternatives, Hoarder aims to be an all-encompassing platform for data hoarders with support for features like OCR extraction, simple note-taking functionality, and video archiving via youtube-dl.

Users looking to easily add content to Hoarder can leverage its first-party iOS and Android apps and Chrome and Firefox extensions.

Given its extensive functionality, Hoarder requires a bit more overhead to deploy than the others but provides clear instructions on how to do so easily via Docker. Users are also given the option to skip some of its optional containers like Meilisearch, which is leveraged for search within the application.

Readeck

Readeck is another relative newcomer that relies on simplicity, speed, privacy, and a clean user interface to stand out among the rest. The application boasts the usual core feature set plus a few unique bells and whistles – bookmark highlights, e-book exports, and in-app archival (including video transcripts) that promises no external requests are made after a webpage is saved for the first time. And while this is just a weird personal preference, Readeck's icon is also masterfully designed.

Readeck's third-party support and integrations aren't as robust as some of the others on the list, but its first-party Chrome and Firefox extensions should get the job done for anyone who spends most of their time archiving directly from the browser.

Readeck can be easily installed via bare metal or Docker and does not include any options to configure a storage backend other than the default SQLite database (per the developer's notes, bookmark data is stored in separate ZIP files).

Grimoire

Grimoire punctuates the toddler-aged applications on this list, but like the others, is a serious contender with a fun marketing twist on its capabilities (bookmarks for wizards, unleash your inner sorcerer...). The application sports the usual capabilities and makes up for a slightly bland interface with an integrated dark mode (for all of the dark wizards out there). Grimoire also comes with multi-user support, the ability to fetch updates for saved articles, and an integration API for adding bookmarks from other sources.

Bookmarking directly from the web can be done via the platform's first-party Chrome and Firefox browser extensions.

Grimoire can be easily enchanted, ahem, installed via bare metal or Docker and doesn't require any additional containers or services to run.

LinkAce

LinkAce is a no-frills bookmarking service for users looking to save webpages without the additional overhead of nice-to-have features like AI and OCR. Its user interface is arguably the most basic on the list, but that doesn't make it a less capable platform – aside from the typical features, some of its more unique functionality includes automated link monitoring and database/application backups to S3-compatible storage.

LinkAce has a somewhat unique take on capturing pages externally with support for a bookmarklet rather than traditional browser extensions.

The application can be easily installed via bare metal or Docker and allows users to replace its default MySQL database with SQLite or PostgreSQL.

Self-Hosting Guide to Alternatives: Feedly, Inoreader

It's 2024, and despite the fact that more and more people are getting their news from social media, it's hard to beat the convenience and functionality of good ol' RSS feeds. But like many other hosted services, trusting your RSS aggregation with the likes of Feedly and Inoreader can be a privacy nightmare given how much information can be collected about a user based on the feeds they follow.

Fortunately, a ton of great self-hosted alternatives exist that don't compromise on privacy while remaining competitive with the functionality and features of their popular hosted counterparts.

Note: While there are a ton of great open-source RSS clients that can be used to aggregate feeds, this article is limited to self-hosted applications that include a web interface for browsing and a sync server that can be leveraged by other third-party clients across devices.

FreshRSS

FreshRSS is the contender-to-beat in the self-hosted RSS world, and for good reason – its look and feel is similar to its hosted counterparts (even if the default theme is a bit of an eyesore) and comes packed with a ton of functionality – search, filters, a built-in reader, themes, extensions, WebSub support, and more.

Like many others on the list, FreshRSS also ships with a few common APIs that make it compatible with a number of desktop and mobile clients.

FreshRSS is a fairly easy install with support for both bare metal and Docker (including an image from the LSIO team). By default, the application ships with a SQLite database that can be swapped with a PostgreSQL or MySQL database for better performance with larger installations.

Miniflux

Miniflux is a popular self-hosted RSS aggregator that markets itself as a minimal and lightweight alternative focused simply on reading feeds (I'm still not sure what opinionated means...). A quick glance at its interface confirms this as it sports a minimal feed with a short list of menu options scattered across the top. Despite this, the platform still supports a number of features beyond simply subscribing to feeds, with most of them focused on content manipulation for easy reading and ingestion.

Although Miniflux's developers lean into its minimal aesthetic and encourage users to leverage its PWA directly from their browsers, it also supports third-party clients via the Fever API for those who prefer dedicated apps on-the-go.

The application can be installed via bare metal or Docker and supports only PostgreSQL for data storage.

Tiny Tiny RSS

Tiny Tiny RSS is another full-fledged replacement for hosted RSS aggregators most akin to FreshRSS in terms of features, functionality, and popularity. The software shines most with its extensive plugin catalogue, themes, article filtering/scoring methods, and various ways of sharing content with others. Often abbreviated as TTRSS, Tiny Tiny RSS is also infamous for having a development team that can be a bit abrasive to newcomers and self-hosting amateurs.

Tiny Tiny RSS has its own internally developed mobile app for Android devices and also supports additional APIs via plugins (Fever, FreshRSS, Google Reader) for increased support across third-party clients.

The platform can be easily installed via Docker with its provided docker-compose.yml and .env files, which requires four containers (five, if you're making backups) to get up-and-running.

RSS

RSS is a minimal feed aggregator with a unique approach – its configuration is managed entirely via a plaintext file. Within the file, users can add RSS feed links followed by tags that can be used for filtering within the application's interface. The interface itself sports only a few customizations, including the ability to view feeds by tags and various display modes (cards, list, compact).

Created by BookStack developer Dan Brown, the project is relatively small in scope and tagged as low maintenance for future viability. As a result, it doesn't ship with support for external clients – although its minimal interface makes it easy to view and interact with from most browsers.

RSS can be installed via Docker and doesn't require any special configuration aside from the aforementioned plaintext file for feed tracking.

CommaFeed

CommaFeed is a Google Reader-inspired platform that packs most of the features needed to replace the popular hosted aggregators without some of the frills of the others (community plugins, custom themes, etc.). However, where it may lack in bells and whistles it makes up for in performance – the software is developed to be lightweight, easy to spin-up, and have a low memory footprint. The web interface also lacks some of the clutter found in other interfaces, which makes it easy to discern unread feeds and categories at a glance.

CommaFeed leverages the Fever API to make it compatible with a wide range of clients across devices.

The software can be installed via Docker and comes with its own embedded database, although users can opt into bringing their own PostgreSQL or MySQL database if desired.

Nextcloud News

Nextcloud News is a common alternative for users already deploying the cloud storage platform given its ability to be installed and managed as an add-on to an existing installation. The add-on's feature set is fairly basic and missing some of the bells and whistles that make the others stand out, but it's still a great option for Nextcloud users looking for the ability to easily follow feeds and read articles.

For users looking to read their news on-the-go, several third-party clients exist that leverage Nextcloud's REST API for synchronization.

Content Spotlight: Koillection

Meet Koillection, a self-hosted platform for physical collection tracking (books, DVDs, stamps, games). Developed for those looking to catalogue their collections somewhere more robust than a spreadsheet, Koillection comes packed with a number of features – metadata editing, multi-user support, wishlists, basic sharing, item tags for grouping across collections, loan tracking, dark mode, and an API. Note that while the development team is currently working on scraping capabilities, the software does not support automatic metadata downloads at this time.

Koillection can be installed via Docker or bare metal and requires a separate database (MySQL or PostgreSQL) for data storage.

This Week in Self-Hosted: 10,000 Subscribers!

If you follow me on the fediverse, you're probably already aware that This Week in Self-Hosted reached 10,000 subscribers this week! The year-and-a-half journey I've been on to build this brand and content has been incredibly rewarding and I'm extremely grateful to all of the readers and contributors that have been so supportive throughout.

Looking forward, I have some new and exciting content lined up for 2025 that I'll share in the coming weeks and hope to continue finding new and innovative ways to give back to the self-hosted community.

Thanks for the support, and happy selfh.st/ing!

Content Spotlight: Etherpad

Meet Etherpad, a real-time collaborative document editor. Built for teams looking to avoid the hassle of sharing documents back and forth, Etherpad provides in-browser editing (via 'pads') that function similarly to Google Docs and allow users to make their own contributions while viewing others in real-time. Features include live chat, extensibility via a robust plugin system, external authentication and permissions, and customizable themes.

Etherpad can be installed via Docker and requires a separate PostgreSQL database for storage.

This Week in Self-Hosted

The results of my 2024 annual self-host user survey were published earlier this week – thanks to all who participated! I also continued the annual tradition of discussing them with DB Tech via a YouTube livestream if you're looking for something to listen to as you hang your Halloween decorations this weekend.

2024 Self-Host User Survey Results

Visualized results from the 2024 Self-Host User Survey

selfh.stEthan Sholly

If you're itching for more, a few additional surveys being facilitated by the community popped up on my radar this week. I'd strongly encourage everyone to consider completing them as an easy way to give back to the developers who make self-hosting possible:

The Mealie team recently dropped a new major version and is looking for additional feedback to gauge how users are using the platform
Redditor u/aintathrowaway26 is developing a new uptime monitoring platform and is collecting feedback on desired features from the community (2-3 minutes)
A newsletter reader currently studying computer science is developing a server administration toolkit and is looking for feedback to accompany their project submission

And lastly, a reminder that I launched This Week in Self-Hosted as a YouTube series a few weeks ago. This week, I had the opportunity to chat through this week's content with Adam Monsen, author of Steadfast Self-Hosting and co-founder of SeaGL.

Happy selfh.st/ing!

Beware of Poison in the Source · Danb Blog

Bitwarden found itself caught in a spot of drama last week introducing non-free and non-open code into their desktop client. I don’t use Bitwarden myself, but in a similar vein I remember they launched their “Passwordless” project as open source while under non-open terms.

This Week in Self-Hosted

Thanks to everyone who participated in this year's self-host user survey, which ended last Friday. I've spent the better part of this week compiling the results and will be reviewing them via live stream on YouTube this Sunday (10/20) at 2pm EST with David from DB Tech. Feel free to stop in if you'd like to add your input (and help us ponder some of the more unusual responses) during the stream!

In other news – after having launched This Week in Self-Hosted as a YouTube series last week, I'm kicking off another new series this weekend that I'm calling Let's Deploy. Every week, I'll be livestreaming as a I deploy a self-hosted application recently featured in the newsletter while also interacting with anyone who'd like to follow along via chat.

This Saturday (10/19) at 9pm EST I'll be deploying the self-hosted documentation software Docmost, which recently added some new features that have me itching to switch over from the platform I'm currently deploying.

Happy selfh.st/ing!

Content Spotlight: Formbricks

Meet Formbricks, a self-hosted survey platform for gathering feedback across apps, websites, links, and e-mail. An alternative to hosted services like SurveyMonkey, Formbricks features a no-code editor that makes it easy to build and customize surveys from scratch or via templates while maintaining user privacy and compliance. Additional features include advanced logic for routing based on responses, targeted surveys, shareable links, multi-user collaboration, integrations, and more.

Formbricks can be installed via bare metal or Docker and requires a separate PostgreSQL database for storage.
