I'm using open source software all the way down.

As someone who develops with open-source software such as Drupal, Symfony, and Sculpin and uses Linux to [host my applications][1] and [configure my laptop][2], I've recently started to explore creating a home lab and self-hosting services based on other open source software.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I've removed proprietary note-taking applications [in favour of plain text files][0] and continued searching for free and open source alternatives to services I've used.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
My ethos is to be open source first and to favour an open source solution if there is one.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And if there isn't, I can write one.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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.
