Non jank networking.

Some stuff I want to add to my home cluster:

Some service to backup my emails to a local drive with some kind of search on it
Something to warn me of cves and updates for third party apps

A proper logging server. I'm just not motivated to learn a bunch of stuff right now sadly.

A standalone Caldav/Cardav web client. Few exists, but most of the projects that I found are stopped

I'm missing a new-school DVR solution. (security cameras) The current ones are complex or freemiums.

Feel free to suggest one you have tried.

A Good SSO+LDAP solution that has modern UI and an easy web interface for administrating. Looked at Authentik, Authelia and Keycloak, all have too dated UI, and are too complicated for a home setup.

Just buy another new computer... you'll figure out something to install on it!

Proper map service of quality e.g. https://github.com/alyssaxuu/mapus#installing-mapus but with SELF SELF-hosted DB instead of firebase crap.

Self-hostedSELF-hosted QR code generation service that doesn't harvest your data and has all functions e.g. https://imgur.com/a/ShdYt3W

sip phone server. then bridge to phone app or matrix or discord or telegram or WhatsApp

I've got a data only SIM. sip client running on phone drains battery and isn't reliable.

would like the sip client on my home lab. then notify and connect calls to me
