A simple question to this community, what are you self-hosting? It's probably fun to hear from each-other what services we are running.

Please mention at least the service (e.g. e-mail) and the software (e.g. postfix). Extra bonus points for also mentioning the OS and/or hardware (e.g. Linux Distribution, raspberry pi, etc) you are running on.

Nice, RSS is great indeed. I use it extensively as well, but I didn't even realize it was a thing people ran as a service on a server. I hadn't heard of FreshRSS etc. I personally just run newsboat from my desktop/laptop, even my phone if need be.

Using a backend service provides things like synchronization, which is useful to me. Previously, I was using Feedly as that backend, but FreshRSS let me self-host that functionality and was pretty trivial to setup and start using.
