[Commotion-discuss] What self-hosted applications would you recommend?

[Anderson Walworth]

I setup a streaming radio app using lubuntu 14.04.1, icecast2 and IDJC . I
have it running on shuffle 24-7.

I really want to get wikipedia working using kiwix but I'm still wrestling
with the 50gb zip file!

I have also messed with owncloud at home on a powerpc and got it working. I
wish you could shut off sync with your computer's owncloud directory so you
could just use it as cloud storage. I stumbled a bit but did get it working.
