I’m already hosting pihole, but i know there’s so much great stuff out there! I want to find some useful things that I can get my hands on. Thanks!

Edit: Thanks all! I’ve got a lil homelab setup going now with Pihole, Jellyfin, Paperless ngx, Yacht and YT-DL. Going to be looking into it more tomorrow, this is so much fun!

    Well you can install it locally and get the web interface via localhost, but if it’s a proper server you can access the news from your sources from anywhere and you can also use 3rd party apps in your phone to get a different interface via the API

      FreshRSS is just a PHP app so you don’t even need a VPS - you could even install it in a regular shared hosting account.

      Oh ok thanks. I do like the idea of access from anywhere… I’m guessing a VPN would be needed on the server and phone? Or is this a whole big thing?

        Check out tailscale, the best tool ever to access a server without opening ports or doing hard stuff

        It depends on how secure you want to get with it. You could just host it with any of the hosting providers and have it public - or you could have it behind a vpn on that server

        If you were hosting it at home, you’d likely want to restrict access to behind a vpn. No sense advertising your network is any more interesting than it needs to be

      Do you have any recommendations for 3rd party apps? I did a quick search but couldn’t find any apps built for FreshRSS
