More self-hosted services
They are mostly for my own use. However, it should reflect my dedication and love for IT. ☕
And maybe it gives you an idea of what you can self-host on your own server.
TeamSpeak Server
A total classic. TeamSpeak is the best Voice-over-IP tool for gamers. No bloat. No BS. No data collection. Zero latency. Your CPU deserves a break. Self-hosting is king.

Local AI
I also have a self-hosted AI platform using Open WebUI and Ollama to run open-weights LLMs locally. Local AI can serve as a true personal assistant, since it can be customized and tailored to individual needs. And you can host them yourself without owning a 20,000 euro GPU.
Although AI is really helpful and all that, I hate many aspects of how companies and governments implement and use it.
- AI-based surveillance systems are increasingly becoming part of our everyday lives.
- Thanks to datacenters, it’s having a significant impact on the hardware market in a way that’s harmful to consumers.
- Many companies are prioritizing AI investments over their employees.
- We're seeing "AI-powered" devices, like TVs and monitors that no one actually asked for.
- Many people do not double-check critical points for accuracy and view AI as the miracle cure that marketing would have us believe it is!
That being said, the underlying technology itself is absolutely fascinating and super interesting.

Jellyfin
From Wikipedia (2025): Jellyfin is a free and open-source media server and suite of multimedia applications designed to organize, manage, and share digital media files to networked devices.
It's basically your own, self-hosted Netflix.

IP-Check
Want to know your IPv4 and IPv6 address? This page tells you. Self-developed in Python (Flask).
IT-Tools
A static site with many handy tools for developers (not mine - credit goes to the developers of this project).
BentoPDF
Also a static site with many PDF conversion and editing tools.
Mirrors
A private mirror server for Arch Linux and Linux Mint packages and ISOs. The main goal of this mirror is to provide a local, fast, and centralized package source for my Linux hosts. Yes, I have many of them. One of which is serving you this website.
Satisfactory Dedicated Server
Satisfactory is a factory simulation game by Coffee Stain Studios which also features cooperative multiplayer. Since the dedicated server is quite resource-intensive, it is only online when my friends and I need it.
Server address: satisfactory.cycasc.net
