I’m making a quick list to be sure to support projects that have a positive impact on my digital life, at the crossroads of selfhosting and privacy.
Selfhosting is currently more of a hobby (fiddling, note-taking and media serving), and looking at my Portainer stack right now, I’m thinking of PiHole, Jellyfin, Homarr and Homepage.
Some projects like FileBrowser, PiGallery2 and Audiobookshelf don’t seem to have a way to contribute financially.
Any well-know project that might be in near-critical condition/need of support? Which projects are you planning to donate to?
I just donated to freefilesync. I donate randomly when I feel though.
Audiobookshelf would be the primary donation, as I’ve had thousands of hours of usage from it… I use it everywhere and all the time, when I’m working, travelling or just relaxing. In addition, I’ve often liked the idea of sponsoring a couple of features (A list-view, and folder-structure browsing)
Just donated to OctoPrint! Use it all the time and it’s been rock solid for years!
Kimai - this is one system which has helped me the most last year!
I do automatic monthly donations to the Frigate project. It’s provided a ton of value so me, so I support the project on an ongoing basis through a gitbub sponsorship: https://github.com/sponsors/blakeblackshear
Codeberg
Not a software project, but eff.org. For software, signal.org.
I’ve also just subscribed to simplelogin premium and i consider it a pseudo donation too since it does have a huge impact on my email management.
Joplin & joplin Firefox plugin, Jellyfin, VLC, Keepassium, KeepassXC, Syncthing, lutris, Homeassistant, Okular, KDE, KDE Connect, Kubuntu
Opnsense. Switched to it right after the whole pfSense plus fiasco.
None, because I’m a developer of a self-hosted project. So I figure I contribute enough…😁
Gotten so much use out of immich this year, I started sponsoring monthly
OctoPrint .
A 3D printer without OctoPrint is possible, but useless.Jellyfin and neovim!
Librephotos. The best google photos alternative.
