Audiobookshelf would be the primary donation, as I've had thousands of hours of usage from it... I use it everywhere and all the time, when I'm working, travelling or just relaxing. In addition, I've often liked the idea of sponsoring a couple of features (A list-view, and folder-structure browsing)
Self-Hosted Main
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
For Example
- Service: Dropbox - Alternative: Nextcloud
- Service: Google Reader - Alternative: Tiny Tiny RSS
- Service: Blogger - Alternative: WordPress
We welcome posts that include suggestions for good self-hosted alternatives to popular online services, how they are better, or how they give back control of your data. Also include hints and tips for less technical readers.

I just donated to freefilesync. I donate randomly when I feel though.
Buttercup.pw
Opnsense. Switched to it right after the whole pfSense plus fiasco.
Fasten
I'll be donating to Termux. I think its an exceptional idea with an amazing execution.
Librephotos. The best google photos alternative.
Probably iTerm2. Use it everyday.
Home Assistant, evcc
Not a software project, but eff.org. For software, signal.org.
I've also just subscribed to simplelogin premium and i consider it a pseudo donation too since it does have a huge impact on my email management.
The last couple of years I have been donating to Gluetun.
The dev is very responsive to feature requests, and I don't know how I would get along without it now.
Contribute monthly to Arch, Gnome, & LibreOffice.
Made a one-time donation to Remmina.
Coolify, amazing project!
FreeBSD
Immich and Planka (if I can find a way)
None, because I'm a developer of a self-hosted project. So I figure I contribute enough....😁
None.
I involuntary donated all of my tax money to my government. Sadly got not much left. I already gave something to signal. Maybe I will give something neovim, but I first have to get some Christmas presents.
Codeberg
Monetarily - I already support Home Assistant through Nabu Casa. .. donate to PiHole on a non-scheduled basis, a couple of times a year. .. send in an annual to wikipedia.
I donate my time to Apache Software Foundation.
Joplin & joplin Firefox plugin, Jellyfin, VLC, Keepassium, KeepassXC, Syncthing, lutris, Homeassistant, Okular, KDE, KDE Connect, Kubuntu
Django project. I use it at my startup.
Debian.
The "OG" of linux distros that is still around and very active now after ~30 years, but most of all, its run entirely by the community. Project leaders are elected by contributors, there is no company backing them and no company influencing the project.
Kinda unrelated but it’s amazing how we can come together as a community and make things together in a big agreement to ditch relying on companies.
Vaultwarden
Home assistant
Signal
Debian & Immich
wish i could afford to if i had the money debian, openwrt and pterodactyl would be the main ones ~~use them the most~~
None. If you wanted paid you would've charged for it.
Trilium Notes!
Reactive Resume https://github.com/AmruthPillai/Reactive-Resume
Disclaimer: I maintain the project :)
Signal
Jellyfin Immich Paperless-ngx
What I do is take my yearly donation budget and divide it up to all of the projects (don't forget about those libraries, dependencies, etc)
JellyFin is a great one. They’re needing the support due to a lack of devs.
Just donated to OctoPrint! Use it all the time and it's been rock solid for years!
changedetection.io just donated to the awesome crew over at ntfy.sh
having those kinds of notifications is a key part for our software to achieve what it does.
Vaultwarden, Wikipedia, Vox Pupuli (Puppet)
(Bu not specifically this time of the year, it's a monthly small amount)
My HumbleBundle donations go to the EFF, which is my indirect way of supporting Let's Encrypt. I used to support the Internet Archive before they went political (and, consequently, to shit).
You’re aware that apolitical organisations don’t actually exist, right?
I do automatic monthly donations to the Frigate project. It's provided a ton of value so me, so I support the project on an ongoing basis through a gitbub sponsorship: https://github.com/sponsors/blakeblackshear
Runtipi
