Since selfhosted clouds seem to be the most common thing ppl host, i’m wondering what else ppl here are selfhosting. Is anyone making use of something like excalidraw in the workplace? Curious about what apps that would be useful to always access over the web that aren’t mediaservers.
i cant follow your first paragraph. at all. i use companion app from fdroid withouth gsf and a selfhosted homeassistant. you could aswell connect apprise to it, you can uding telegram or whatever…all in homeassistant.
ntfy iphone and google app from playstore do share your data, right? and you use that to share data in LAN? i am confused.
Not entirely sure about the de-google’d version of the Home Assistant companion app, but I know the regular companion app uses Firebase (and whatever the Apple equivalent is called, I forget) to deliver notifications, and it still would using Telegram as Telegram also uses Firebase. Apprise is a bit different as it can use multiple backends. Regardless, there are multiple ways to do things. Ntfy iphone and google app do not route your data through a third party server. I self host the ntfy server on my own machine and domain and my phone connects to it and receives data. It will deliver notifications wherever I am, not just in my LAN. It also provides a nice UI akin to Pushbullet I can use to send myself stuff privately.
You can’t replicate all of what ntfy does with Home Assistant. There’s more to it than just delivering notifications, it’s the whole app frontend and persistent data etc. If it’s not clear to you what it’s for from my description you might have to go look into it yourself. Look at PushBullet, that’s most similar to what I primarily use it for.
ok. but thanks really for the details!
