Interesting post, but what does this have to do with selfhosting? This is not /c/llm

I do this with https://www.sphinx-doc.org/ + a basic Makefile and config file to make it a bit nicer. I will publish my template a bit later and report back.

I wrote this ansible role to setup dovecot IMAP server. Once a year I move all mail from the previous year from various mailboxes to my dovecot server (using thunderbird).

I use the Netdata agent (with cloud features disabled). Easy installation, FOSS, 0 configuration required, tons of metrics.

I wrote my own ansible role to deploy/maintain a matrix server and a few goodies (element/synapse-admin). If you're not using ansible you should still be able to understand the deployment logic by starting at tasks/main.yml
and following includes/tasks from there.

host maps
It does require a beefy server (rendering tiles is CPU/RAM-intensive, storing pre-rendered tiles is expensive on storage) It should be doable on limited hardware if only a small area.
I think the better move would be keeping/distributing a local copy of the OsmAnd android APK and a few maps for the app. Because you'll not be able to provide map access to people from your server if the Internet/local fiber/phone network is down - this way everyone can have their own full copy of the map.
I'm not sure about the method to extract map data from the app storage directory though.

Just download a copy of a recent wikipedia dump. You can open it in the Kiwix desktop application (work fine even on an old laptop), the android app (though I've never tried opening a full 100GB dump with a phone, not sure if it would work well), or install the kiwix-tool
package and serve the .zim
file with kiwix-serve
(https://wiki.kiwix.org/wiki/Kiwix-serve). You'd also probably want a reverse proxy/usual basic web server/security setup around that.

Second this, always have a device preloaded with Kiwix and one of the wikipedia dumps. A new vesrion is uploaded every few (~6 months). The full English wikipedia dump with images (low-res versions only though) is only 103GB.

libvirt/virt-manager is a nice VM management tool.

Their cheap 1-6€/month VPS offers are actually fine. Not much to say about it, it just works.
https://awesome-selfhosted.net/ is hosted on a Ionos VPS.

allows my mail clients to connect via IMAP to view and search emails
dovecot will be able to handle this part. This is what I use as a mail archive (once a year, archive all mail from the previous year from various mailboxes to my self-hosted dovecot instance). I wrote this ansible role for it.
downloads new emails via IMAP
As others recommended, imapsync
should be able to handle that part.
docker solution
These tools are simple enough to install and manage (one package, one config file), Docker is not needed. If you really need it to fit into your docker-based setup, build and maintain your own images.

What's your existing setup? For such a simple task, check if any of the tools you use currently can be adapted (simple text files on a web server? File sharing like Nextcloud and text files? Pastebin-like? Wiki? ...). Otherwise a simple Shaarli instance could do the trick (just post "notes" aka. bookmarks without an URL). I use this theme to make it nicer. Or maybe a static site generator/blog.

I would never recommend Odoo anymore, given how painful it is to upgrade from a major version to another. Their answer to it is basically "yeah, some complex migrations need to be done, just send us a copy of your database with highly sensitive company data, pay us to do the migration and we'll send it back to you". Yeah, lol, no.

Hi c/selfhosted, I just wanted to let you know that I have added a frequently requested feature to https://awesome-selfhosted.net - the ability to filter the list by programming language or deployment platform. For example: - https://awesome-selfhosted.net/platforms/docker.html - https://awesome-selfhosted.net/platforms/c.html - https://awesome-selfhosted.net/platforms/php.html - https://awesome-selfhosted.net/platforms/ansible.html - https://awesome-selfhosted.net/platforms/go.html - ... You can navigate between platforms/languages by clicking the relevant link in each software project's metadata. There is no main list of platforms, but if someone creates an issue for it, it can be looked into (please provide details on where/how you expect the platforms list to show up). A quick update on project news since the new website was released (https://lemmy.world/post/3622280): a lot of [curation work](https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted-data/pulls?q=is%3Apr+label%3Acuration+) has been done, some incorrect data has been [fixed](https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted-data/issues?q=label%3Abug+), a few [additions](https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted-data/pulls?q=is%3Apr+label%3Aaddition) and some general [improvements](https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted-data/pulls?q=is%3Apr+label%3Aenhancement+) have been made. A [deb](https://awesome-selfhosted.net/platforms/deb.html) platform has been added for those who prefer to deploy software through their distribution's package management system, and we're working on a `Manufacturing` tag for software related to 3D printing, CNC machines and other physical manufacturing tools. _awesome-selfhosted is a list of Free Software network services and web applications which can be hosted on your own server(s)._ The "old", markdown-formatted list remains available at https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted and will keep being updated automatically. The project is maintained by volunteers under the [CreativeCommons BY-SA 3.0 License](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.en), at https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted-data. Thanks again to all contributors.
