Hello everyone!
I recently switched my Android phone to a custom ROM, and while setting things up, I wanted push notifications without relying on Google. That’s how I discovered UnifiedPush.
Really liking the concept, I decided to rent a small VPS (1 vCPU, 2GB RAM) and started hosting NTFY. So far, it’s been working great. Over time, I’ve added a few more services like FreshRSS and Audiobookshelf.
All of this is just for personal use, so the resource usage is minimal (the whole setup only uses around 500MB of RAM). I really enjoy how much value you can get out of such a small machine.
That brings me to my question:
What other lightweight, self-hostable tools would you recommend? I’m especially interested in small, resource-efficient services that you’ve personally found useful.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
Radicale - I ditched Nextcloud for it as no-one needed to see a calendar, it’s on their phone…
I also use it to sync a calendar for Home Assistant too
And it effectively backs up my Contacts too.
May I can ask what do u use to access the calendar/contacts on mobile and desktop?
Mobile: Fossify Calendar with DavX5 as the interface (both from FDroid)
Laptop: Vivaldi’s built-in Calendar
Tablets around the house: Home Assitant’s calendar (I don’t recall the specific integration, but it was a HACS one from memory)
