Today I set up my old laptop as a Debian server, hosting Immich (for photos), Nextcloud (for files), and Radicale (for calendar). It was surprisingly easy to do so after looking at the documentation and watching a couple videos online! Tomorrow I might try hosting something like Linkwarden or Karakeep.
What else should I self-host, aside from HA (I don’t have a smart home), Calibre (physical books are my jam), and Jellyfin (I don’t watch too many movies + don’t have a significant DVD/Blu-ray collection)?
I would like to keep my laptop confined to my local network since I don’t trust it to be secure enough against the internet.
edit: I forgot, I’m also hosting Tailscale so I can access my local network remotely!
Firefly III in order to track your expenses
In my experience, firefly is not aimed at household or personal finance. It is very obviously made by and for accountants.
Actual Budget is much more approachable for the normal home user, and very similar to the successful YNAB.
Actual Budget if you’re more into envelope budgeting. I came from YNAB and could not get the same workflow out of Firefly as I could YNAB. Actual Budget does provide that.
I do think setting up HTTPS is required for Actual so if you don’t have that yet, then Firefly is the way to go.
Hi, I’ve tried Actual Budget but I’ve found more interesting in terms of options Firefly, so I’ve chosen for it :)
