      <p>As someone who develops with open-source software such as Drupal, Symfony, and Sculpin and uses Linux to <a href="/daily/2024/11/28/running-nixos-in-the-cloud">host my applications</a> and <a href="/daily/2024/11/23/no-more-random-packages">configure my laptop</a>, I've recently started to explore creating a home lab and self-hosting services based on other open source software.</p>

      <p>I've started using Jellyfin for media management and playback, Immich for photos, Gitea for hosting my private Git repositories, and Tube Archivist for backing up YouTube videos.</p>

      <p>There are a lot of other popular applications that people self-host that I want to look at, as well as maybe hosting my own website.</p>

      <p>I've removed proprietary note-taking applications <a href="/daily/2024/11/10/write-plain-text-files">in favour of plain text files</a> and continued searching for free and open source alternatives to services I've used.</p>

      <p>My ethos is to be open source first and to favour an open source solution if there is one.</p>

      <p>And if there isn't, I can write one.</p>

      <p>As well as creating free and open source software, I want to use it as much as I can as well as using open source software to create my open source software.</p>
