- The author self-hosts several applications including Miniflux (an RSS reader), Grafana (for data visualization with Strava integration), YourSpotify (for Spotify statistics), and Linkding (a bookmark manager).
- Miniflux is hosted at https://rss.fredrikmeyer.net/ and is easy to set up using Docker.
- Grafana was initially used for a Raspberry Pi project measuring gas and dust levels, and later integrated with Strava for activity summaries.
- YourSpotify provides aggregated statistics of listening habits but is only accessible locally via Tailscale due to lack of DNS setup.
- Linkding serves as a bookmark manager but mostly stores unread links, offering some peace of mind.
- The hosting setup involves a DigitalOcean droplet, Domeneshop for DNS, Let’s Encrypt for SSL, and Docker containers managed via Nginx.
- Configuration is partially managed using Ansible, inspired by Jeff Geerling’s book, with some manual Docker Compose deployments.
- Future ideas include combining AI with appliance manuals for troubleshooting and developing custom project management tools like Jira.
