Is that a lot? It’s usually between 30-50%. I’ve set it up as my routers DNS server so it blocks ads across my entire network. Everything that connects to my router get pihole ad blocking
A friend of mine has something like 64% blocked. That’s what blocking telemetry does to ya! Every piece of tech, especially Samsung phones, Google TVs and various game clients phones home with such persistence that you’d think they’re DDoSing themselves.
Y’know, I’ve played around with Organizr a little bit and didn’t quite like it. I think I had some trouble setting it up or something. I’ll probably go back to try it again at some point
I had no end of issues with Organizr. It felt like something broke with each update and performance was pretty bad (not to mention some apps just not working with it). Seemed to be pretty common when I last tried it a couple of years ago, there were lots of similar complaints.
The good thing about Homepage is that the widgets mean you rarely have to go in to each app’s ui, so it actually saves me time.
Wish I had the time/energy to host this much… Currently I’m running
Plex
Nextcloud (snap on ubuntu VM because its easy)
pihole
pivpn
I’m also running Jellyfin and Navidrome, in an attempt to determine if they are good alternatives to Plex for like 6 months at this point. See comments above about time/energy.
I didnt use any speciall features on plex, but for me the only advantage of plex was the abbility to have all movies/tv shows in one folder. After switching to jellyfin and *arrs the folder structure is sorted so I have 0 reasons to consider plex again

I’m also hosting both jellyfin & navidrome to see if I can get rid of plex for music.
Currently I find plex better at managing my library, but with all music related development going to plexamp and the devs decision to lock out my users from it despite having paid for plex plass for my users, I have to find an alternative that is user friendly.
I am hoping that once my library is sufficiently large, with the metadata related issues being resolved, I can finally introduce them to my music library.
I need to get back into self hosting. It’s been a while and the server has been off the whole time… Think I need to get the server back up and running and take some inspiration from yourself.
I like the “at a glance” functionality that the various APIs provide. I can view all relevant information on a single page without having to click through different apps. I just set this as my homepage on chrome and it’s like bookmarks on steroids
Bookmarks are cool and all, but having the ability to tap (if on mobile) the link or click on it visually is important. For example, I access my local dashboard via Wireguard on my phone, I can then tap the service I need to access locally. IMO, that is much nicer than hitting the browser’s menu to find the bookmark and then clicking on it.
Aside from that, if you are like me and have hundreds of bookmarks, and a significant other less technically savvy as you are and are visual, then having a dashboard to go to makes it a lot easier!
