This Week in Self-Hosted
It was a slow news cycle in the world of self-hosting this week. In lieu of the usual recap, enjoy some notable project activity I've been following closely the past several weeks.
In no particular order:
- One of the Home Assistant developers recently released v2.0 of a project called Music Assistant, an online and offline music library manager with jukebox-like functionality that can stream to various audio devices
- The Bitwarden team has been extremely productive with the launch of an authenticator app, passkey enablement on mobile devices, a Manifest v3 beta for their browser extension, and upcoming native relaunches of their mobile apps
- The Frigate NVR team recently gave users a sneak peek into the sexy UI overhaul slated to drop in its upcoming v0.14 release
- The Plex Meta Manager project was recently rebranded to Kometa (hopefully this means Jellyfin support is on the way?)
In selfh.st-related content, I dropped a new podcast episode this week and also launched a new series on self-hosted alternatives to popular SaaS platforms.
Happy selfh.st/ing!

Content Spotlight: sup3rS3cretMes5age
Meet sup3rS3cretMes5age, a one time, self-destructing messaging service for sharing secrets and passwords. Designed for developers, professionals, and users who routinely communicate sensitive information, sup3rS3cretMes5age leverages a Hashicorp Vault on the backend to securely store data and generates a link that can only be viewed once before self-destructing.
Deployment of sup3rS3cretMes5age via container is fairly straightforward if you already have a vault up-and-running, but the developers also provide a docker-compose example for those without one.
