The Awesome Curated Universe

Dec 17, 2024 @ 10:57 am

Some years ago, I came across one of my favorite pages on the Internet: awesome-selfhosted.

The page is a curated list of “free software, network services, and web applications which can be hosted on your own servers”. Through it I’ve discovered a ton of useful software, including

Monica, a personal CRM for all your contacts
HomeBox, an inventory for your stuff
BaseRow, an AirTable-like database
many more!

The site includes personal dashboards, document management systems, file transfer, office suites – in fact, a whole galaxy of options. When I need new software, I usually check awesome-selfhosted first (and then see if what I want is already available on PikaPods).

But did you know there are other sources of awesomeness? Check these:

Awesome Sysadmin: find your next monitoring solution, distributed filesystem, or VPN system
Awesome Big Data: machine learning, fancy database systems, and more
Awesome Public Data Sets: finance, healthcare, geography, or whatever else you need
Awesome AI: LLMs, pic generators, and lots more

…and of course, inevitably, Awesome Awesome, a curated list of awesome curated lists.

Dread Lord of LowEnd Content at LowEndBox

I'm raindog308, techno polymath and long-time LowEndTalk community Administrator. My technical interests include all things Unix, perl, python, golang, shell scripting, vintage operating systems such as MVS, and relational database systems such as Oracle, PostgreSQL, and MySQL.

I also enjoy using LEBs! I have an empire of little guys for VPNs, larger guys for apps, and big guys for databases and storage. When I'm not in front a screen I'm into German Shepherd dogs, quality knives, target shooting, theology, tabletop roleplaying games, and forest hiking.

I enjoy writing technical articles here on LowEndBox to help people get more out of their systems. You can find me on LowEndTalk @raindog308
