    It’s nice because I don’t have to install it. Now I can use it when I work, on my computer at home or when my dad calls me.

    But there is also merit to using a desktop application.

      Something like this is useful as well if you have a large item to convert since you can offload that processing to your server/NAS and not have it bog down your PC/phone/etc

      Fair enough. I guess I imagined someone hosting all the selfhosted web apps that get posted to this forum, when most people likely just host only the few they need on the go, so it isn’t really that burdensome.

      Edit: Forgot to add: I always though that it could be useful to just set up Apache Guacamole, so that instead of the hosted services, my family members could just use remote desktop apps but I never got around to it.

        My small repurposed NAS could not handle hosting everything posted here, but it would be really nice if I had the time to both set it up AND use them. I’m suprised it can even handle almost 10 apps (but I am the only user).

        I also had a dream of setting up Guacamole and run Heroes of Might and Magic III turn based. But I never got it working (didn’t use docker back then) so I gave up on it.
