Hi guys! I was wondering:

What self hosted software are you missing? What would you which existed?

Background: I am a quite Senior Dev and have 6 months between gigs. Would be fun to start a side project to keep my skills sharp.

Monicahq is a personal CRM. You can share some info publicly. Unless I missed that feature. I have yet to find an open source gift registry.

Portainer IS super heavy, but also pretty great. And any running container can be exec’d into with a button click in Portainer. I also like the app browser to look at new available containers

For what I use it for, Portainer feels like using a dump truck to carry groceries. Sure, it gets the job done, but I’m not using half of it, and there are a bunch of things that I’d like to do with it that are either way too complex, or just missing. For instance, it should be able to set up simple scripts, like “run this container every night”, or “restart this container once a week”, or “upgrade these containers automatically”.

I think you meant to reply to my comment on not liking Portainer. I go into more detail into why it’s not good in the thread: https://old.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/17tvvyx/early_santa_what_is_missing_in_selfhosted/k9008gi/

Think about reaching out to some charitable organizations - especially small ones like local pet reduces, food banks, social services, and so on - and volunteer your time.

They might be less interesting projects like updating a website or adding registration services, or you might do something interesting with data analysis, but it might have a huge impact for that organization and for the community.

You may also be able to deduct your donated time as a donation in kind for tax purposes, but talk to an accountant to get the details on how you’ll have to work that out.
