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?
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)
I just donated to freefilesync. I donate randomly when I feel though.
None. If you wanted paid you would’ve charged for it.
Opnsense. Switched to it right after the whole pfSense plus fiasco.
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
OctoPrint .
A 3D printer without OctoPrint is possible, but useless.I’ve donated to Immich several times. So impressed by their work.
Runtipi
JellyFin is a great one. They’re needing the support due to a lack of devs.
Home assistant
The last couple of years I have been donating to Gluetun.
The dev is very responsive to feature requests, and I don’t know how I would get along without it now.
Fasten
Contribute monthly to Arch, Gnome, & LibreOffice.
Made a one-time donation to Remmina.
wish i could afford to if i had the money debian, openwrt and pterodactyl would be the main ones
use them the mostSignal
