OneNote. Yes, I know, NextCloud, Joplin, etc. But there isn’t really anything with everything - handwriting, voice recognition/dictation, etc.
I see this post more open to company selfhosting, whereas the post you mentioned focuses on homelabs. I've got both homelab and company servers, and the selfhosted needs differ a lot.
In a while, means they just didn't bother to look before posting.
Sentry, on ARM64 and/or less ram
Agreed. I like sentry, but requiring 8gb of ram minimum is a bit much for small home servers.

As it has been stated before, I miss a good selfhosted mobile MDM. Maybe one day, Fleet will be able to do that!
This is a nice, but I also would love to see a digital music marketing tool (like linkfire, amplify, where you can presave your music to Spotify/Apple Music,...). There is literally no project for that (yet).
Something like Steam. I've got a bunch of old games and other software, CDs, floppy images, etc., with registration keys and so forth (sometimes multiples), as well as newer stuff I got through Humble Bundle, or even various free/open source games, servers, etc., but installing them can be a pain. I'd like something that could host the files, list the games, and install them on a whim, along with self-hosted "cloud" storage so I can switch between computers easily. I already use Steam, of course, but it doesn't host my old games, at least not without paying them for the privilege. My boss... Would probably be interested, actually. Not business related, but still.
There was something released a while back similar to what you're after. It had a funny name, I think it was crack pipe and then they changed it due to well the name of it but I can't for the life of me remember what it was
How was it call before? The url is game vault already 🤔
They originally called it something like crackpipe as they said it was for those games you acquired "elsewhere"
Hi, GameVault developer here. Can confirm. It's exactly what you are looking for.
I need this, but with a client for like DOS or Windows 98

A proper inventory system. Homebox still too limited and others are to complex or too much asset management focused.

ntfy?
What you really mean is de-google 100%, and that's impossible.
Something better than RedMine.
Email, without facing all those problems of ending on a spam list and being blacklisted.
One of the advantages of selfhosting is that I can cut down on subscriptions. Unfortunately, I cannot find an RSS reader with powerful filters and rules like Inoreader. I've tried FreshRSS but it's just not as powerful as Inoreader.
I wish I could selfhost Inoreader.
ChatGPT. I want it to have full access to my mail, contacts, photos, videos, git repositories, and I want to be sure it's not leaving my premises not matter what. I want to say 'find my letter to my former boss where I was talking about infra', and it find the letter where is no word 'boss', 'infra', or 'former', and it is the letter I was searching.

something like OneNote (typing, writing, drawing... all collaboratively)
Factorialhr.io
Simple HR management software for small companies. Everything I've tried is way overkill
A FileMaker equivalent, something I can run a database server at home and enter data via an iPad/iPhone
