A review of essential self-hosted applications being used in 2024, including tools like Proxmox, Portainer, Homepage, Bookstack, and more. Hardware like Intel NUCs is employed for hosting, while apps such as ShareX, Nexterm, and Grafana offer various functionalities from file sharing to server control and system metrics monitoring. The post also dives into tools for personal organization and media management such as Usememos, Audiobookshelf, and Ghost for blogging.

While Coolify is useful, I prefer deploying projects on a VPS using Docker containers with Traefik as a reverse proxy. This setup provides better control, performance, and scalability while keeping costs optimized. Traefik’s automatic SSL handling and Docker integration simplifies management of multiple services.

It’s wild how I got back into this recently and it’s absolutely everywhere lately.
<h3>My top 5:</h3>
<ol>
<li>Prometheus/grafana (because data is cool)</li>
<li>Dokku</li>
<li>Adguard</li>
<li>File browser</li>
<li>Traefik</li>
</ol>
All on docker and assisted by an openwrt router + mesh.
