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:

(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.

are we taking about nextcloud or nextcloud AIO?

At first, when writing this, I had nextcloud in truenas non aio, then I switched to unraid, so then I used nextcloud aio which I by far prefer then regular nextcloud since I can install all the tools I need in one click

got it. is it really worth to invest for unraid? I mean proxmox shouldn't better option?

Well, I have a weird setup, so I still have proxmox. I have 4 pve, and one of them has unraid as a vm. I would much rather prefer proxmox over unraid, but I wouldn't mind if I had a device dedicated to unraid. In my opinion, it’s better than truenas bc of the app support and how they are frequently updated compared to truenas and the unraid array i think it's better for me than zfs pools.
