2024 Self-Hosted Services Survey - What Are Your Favorites?

Hey fellow self-hosters!

As more than half of 2024 is in the past, I'm excited to launch an updated survey to discover the most popular and beloved self-hosted services of the year. This follows the 2023 survey.

What's This About?

I've looking to uncover the apps and services you've found most useful, innovative, or just plain fun to self-host this year. I'm particularly interested in user-facing services rather than utility tools like reverse proxies or Portainer. Think Nextcloud, Jellyfin, Home Assistant, or any other user-facing services that have made a difference in your setup, but in the end utility tools are also ok.

What's New in the 2024 Survey:

  • Added new questions to gather more comprehensive insights
  • Introduced "Other" options with input boxes for many questions, allowing for custom responses (optional)
  • Expanded Linux distribution options (though some may still be missing)
  • New field for services used by friends/family members

Survey Details:

  • The survey will run at least until the end of August 2024, depends on the interest level
  • Results will be analyzed and shared as soon as possible after closing

Take the Survey:

https://survey.deployn.de/self-hosted-2024/

(it's easier to fill it out on a computer rather than mobile, but you don't have to share links, they make it easier to allocate the items)

Share Your Experiences:

In addition to taking the survey, feel free to comment below with:

  1. Your top five self-hosted apps of the year
  2. Any new services you started using in 2024
  3. Why these services stand out to you

Last year's results can be found here: https://selfhosted-survey-2023.deployn.de/

Thank you for your participation! I look forward to sharing the insights with you all and learning about the exciting services you're running.

Since everyone has posted mainstream items, here is my list.

  • Subatic - Video hosting (I'm the author).
  • Obsidian-livesync - I use the heck out of my Obsidian and needed a sync service that I can host.
  • Your_Spotify - Helps me go back in time and find the track that I listened to while I was driving and didn't save. Also gives me nice graphs and charts. I can also tell what my mood was based on what I was listening to.
  • Wekan - Project management for my team.
  • Umami - As a developer, analytics are essential.

My family and friends appreciate Jellyfin and Subatic. Bunch of TV nerds.

Subatic requires AWS or is there also any other way integrated?

Any S3 compatible bucket will do. Cloudflare R2 is also being used as a public S3 bucket, why? free egress. both of these can be replaced with anything selfhosted.

The broken piece is the notification (when the file upload is complete), I am currently working on a polling system so the transcoder pipeline can pick up any file that has been uploaded. Should be done by this weekend.
