Well thanks to the soon to be dead /r/selfhosted on reddit I started selfhosting few years ago and now approximately 90% of my stuff is selfhosted:

Gitlab
RocketChat
VS Code
Anonaddy
Etherpad
Min.io
Archivebox
FreshRSS
FileStash
Matomo
InfiniteWP
piHole

as daily drivers and several others that I use from time to time.

wait, vscode self hosted?, how
- With this Docker image: lscr.io/linuxserver/code-server
  
  Here is a sample docker-compose.yml.
  
  edit: replaced code block with link due to the formatting being a complete mess
Self hosted Vscode? How does that work, like a remote workspace via web or directly in a local Vscode session? Did it handle extensions well?
- I haven’t used it in a while, maybe its better. Basically since vscode is an electron app it can run im he browser. You can even use https://vscode.dev which is the official web version. Iirc it didn’t have the same plugins, but it’s pretty much the same thing.
  
  Its super useful when you deploy alongside containers as an easy way to change configs in shared volumes.
Is installing VSCode locally "self hosting"? I thought that was how everybody did it. I just run the executable - no Docker or anything - for coding, testing etc. but I'm not sure what a VSCode "server" would even do.

@devve

- Nextcloud
- Miniflux

On an Intel NUC in my closet.

Umami analytics looks exactly like what I was looking for. Thanks! ntfy looks very useful as well.

If this comment is federating then I started hosting my first service -- Lemmy itself.

I'm seeing it from my own selfhosted Lemmy instance!

I didn't know that existed and now I love it and started up a docker container for it!

Thanks! :D
- Also love it - I use it to auto download my podcasts

Ok, you've got me curious - Why 3 different active directory domain controllers?
- Just for redundancy! One DC VM per physical vSphere host. Each DC also handles internal DNS records for my network.
Very impressive. I gotta ask, how is this feasible cost-wise? Mostly as in licensing for vshpere. I know you can get pretty far in windows server with evaluation keys, butI run an ESXi server on eval mode cuz I'm cheap and have to reset the license every 90 days with some commands and reboot 😅

What is the scale of your network, like is this all just in your house?

Hello

Let's have a look at the inventory

RPI 4B
- OpenHab (Openhabian actually, so some additional services like Zigbee2MQTT or Grafana)
HP EliteDesk 800 G2 i5-6500T, 8GiB RAM - this one is currently the mainstay of my lab, running containers with docker-compose
- Nginx as reverse proxy (+ fail2ban, letsencrypt)
- Paperless-ngx (+ Redis, Tika, Gotenberg)
- Jellyfin
- Minecraft server (+ Mapcrafter)
- ddclient
- Heimdall
Dell OptiPlex 7060 Micro i7-8700T 32GiB RAM
- I've gotten this one fairly recently. A real bargain - costed as much as the CPU alone and was in pristine condition. I will be migrating the workload from EliteDesk to this one. I decided to try ProxMox this time though, so I need to learn a bit first. Also perhaps add a second SSD

How does mapcrafter run for you now? I'm hosting a vanilla server and that's exactly what I need to see our map. I'm just concerned that it doesn't function properly now due to recent updates.

Thanks!

I will go first 😌

I selfhost codimd, vaultwarden, kuma, immich, home assistant, trilium, hugo, gotify, wakapi and umami. I have one VPS and one custom built NAS at home.

I read you 👀🦎

Hugo? As in your generated site or you have some sort of service that costs hugo that generates and deploys your site or something else?

Proxmox on a self-built rackserver (Will be building a second one for a proxmox cluster):

Pi-Hole (primary)
Home Assistant
2 Docker Hosts (One for Eval, one for Prod)

Raspberry Pi Zero for Pi-Hole (secondary)

On my Docker Host (All in docker-compose):

Heimdall (Personal Dashboard)
Portainer (Docker GUI)
baikal (CAL & CADdav)
vaultwarden (Password Manager)
bookstack (Documentation, kinda abandoned because im lazy)
changedetection(.)io (Monitoring Websites for Changes, useful for changelogs or price monitoring)
cloudflare-ddns (DDNS because dynamic IP Adresses...)
Grafana & InfluxDB (Dashboard and Database for Stats)
linkding (Bookmarks aka "Have to read someday")
mealie (Reciepe manager)
neko (Watch2gether but in selfhosted and more capable imo)
nginx proxy manager (Reverse Proxy with GUI)
paperless-ngx (Document manager with OCR)
semaphore ui (Ansible GUI with sheduled tasks)
Uptime Kuma (Status Monitoring)
watchtower (Automatic updates of my docker containers because im lazy)

A Synology DS220+ for local Storage

A 5TB Hetzner Storage Box for Backups (encrypted)

A Rootserver for Games and some testing in the wild (Currently Windows, will be switched to ubuntu)

Hetzner Cloud Server with mailcow on it

I have a used Lenovo Thinkcentre mini with an i3-7100T and 16gb RAM. I have Ubuntu server LTS installed on it and I run everything in docker containers.

I host:

jellyfin server for my friends and family
qbittorrent to download for the JF server(behind a VPN)
Jellyseerr for requests
Jackett, Sonarr, and Radarr for downloads
a Minecraft server

Been self hosting for over a decade at this point. Mix of custom built servers and surplus hardware over the years.

To name a few of my daily servers.

home assistant
paperless-ng
jellyfin
nextcloud
blue iris
audiobook shelf

With docker being so easy I have kind of lost track how much stuff i am hosting. A problem i never thought i would have :)

If there is RAM to spare... one more selfhosted service can't be bad hahaha

I have a rented server with 8 Xeon E3-1246 and 64GB at Hetzner where I host:

Vaultwarden
Gitlab (git repo, container registry, static blog (pages with Hugo))
Drawio (Diagrams)
Kroki (for Gitlab)
Gitlab runner
FreshRSS
Nextcloud
Redis
Headscale (Tailscale server)
Keycloak
MariaDB
PostgreSQL
Plex
Privacybin
Wallabag
Hedgedoc

It's all behind a Traefik instance handling Let's Encrypt and using the Docker socket to route traffic based on labels in docker-compose.yml. Behind these I also run k3s and from time to time some VMs. I also have a 1TB storage pod at Hetzner where I use restic to back everything up from this instance as well as from my home system and laptops.

i don't self-host yet, but i have an old pc in my house, i just need to bring it with me to colege, so i can learn and start self-hosting

Great way to start! My first server was an "old" 2010 server I left at home when I went to college 😄

Hello selfhosters.

Here's my list of stuff:

On a VPS hosted in Germany:

Nextcloud
Mailcow for my own domain
A blog (https://www.ninjazumbi.com)
Wallabag
FreshRSS
WireGuard VPN

On my home server (my old gaming PC, repurposed)

Proxmox to manage several containers/VMs:
- OPNsense Firewall
- HomeAssistant
- Pihole
- Gitlab
- Jellyfin

Hi, thanks for your comment! I just visited your blog and noticed that it loads fairly quickly: I assume you must have some sort of CDN set up. Could you point me to how you went about setting up the CDN for your domain/website? Thanks!
- No CDN. The secret is way simpler: It's a static site. Just a bunch of files served directly by Nginx. I use Pelican to generate the site from Markdown files.

I joined to learn, still not self-hosting anything, but I intend to use an 11yo Compaq laptop (i5, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD) as a server while I'm still practicing. I intend to self-host a lemmy instance and a nextcloud server.

Thanks for everything you guys have been sharing I've already got some good leads, gonna try out YunoHost for starters

Host all the things!

Wordpress, SMTP/IMAP, tor, bittorrent, Nextcloud, Plex, NTP, photo galleries, DoT...

I even started hosting the website for my local Italian restaurant and they haven't even realised it yet.

Wait, what? How are hosting someone else's website?
- OK, here's how it happened.
  
  I was hungry, and I wanted to see the menu for my local pizza joint. I couldn't find it anywhere.
  
  I discovered that all their socials linked to a website that wouldn't load. When I checked, the domain had lapsed.
  
  Out of frustration, I purchased the domain and pulled the last snapshot of their website off archive.org. It had their full menu as a PDF.
  
  6 months later and it's still getting visitors from their facebook page, who are viewing the menu. They haven't even realised.

jellyfin and Plex (in the process of migrating)
radarr/sonarr
jackett and deluge
nextcloud

I've had new hardware in the basement now for a while, going to slap it together and build a k8s cluster on top of rancher/harvester

Please make a blog post about your migration. I'm in the same boat.
- if your using docker you can mount the same media folder. I have both hosted with the same media folder mounted.
  
  jellyfin
  
  plex
Which way are you migrating?
- I migrated from Plex to jellyfin.
  
  I tried it out when I couldn't get HEVC files to steam on Plex, and i liked it!
  
  It doesn't have the full ecosystem around it that Plex does, but that's fine by me.

Hosting a whole bunch of stuff for myself, the family and also the public. For the larger family I'm hosting eMail but using a managed service offering for that (Hetzner). Too old to run my own IMAP/SMTP infrastructure ;)

For a few private societies I'm hosting:

Mattermost
NextCloud
WordPress https://www.uckermark-blog.de/

For the public I host:

Mastodon at https://hub.uckermark.social
Mastodon at https://tetrax.de/
BookWyrm at https://books.mxhdr.net/
Mobilizon at https://termine.uckermark.social/
MatrixChat at https://matrix.mxhdr.net
Element WebUI for Matrix at https://element-web.explain-it.org/

Mostly formyself, but not restricted I'm hosting:

Pixelfed
LinkDing for Bookmarks
Excalidraw
Grafana
OverLeaf
StandardNotes Server
PiHole
GitTea
FreshRSS
Minio S3-kompatible Object Storage as Backend for Mastodon & Pixelfed (on an old Dell Optiplex at home over my DSL Line)
GoToSocial Fediverse Client (On a RaspberryPi at home)
PeerTube for public projects (on the same old Dell OptiPlex)
PeerTube as private Video Streaming platform (on a Dell Precision 3500 tower)

Most services run in Docker Containers on some VPS at Hetzner. Some stuff runs in Docker Containers on old spare hardware at home.

Self hosted email is a brave endeavor, but I always love seeing when people are cool enough to do it
Are you using the mail service from Hetzner or are you using their servers to host it yourself?
- I'm using the Mail service from Hetzner. I did host my own eMails for more than 10 years but eventually decided it's too much hassle.

home assistant, freshrss (and a few related services such as rss-bridge), nitter and piped. I tried to host libregrammar, but ran out of memory.

I've got a couple VPSes, hosting

Mailcow, because email is identity.
Asterisk, because phone #s are also identity.
Matrix-Synapse, for personal messaging even though XMPP is probably better.
ttrss, even though it's junk software with a jerk developer.
A bunch of self-developed web apps

Self hosting email is obnoxious, but it's also one of the only remnants of the traditional distributed internet that's still broadly accepted.

Hi, could you detail how you utilise Asterisk?
- I use it to route a commodity SIP provider to a cheap SIP phone and provide local voicemail. It gives an alternative to relying on cell providers for everything. I haven't properly put the effort in to handle SMS, which is a weak point in my setup.
Have you tried FreshRSS for feeds ? I'm pretty happy with it.
- I haven't been motivated enough to really look into replacing ttrss. Most of the alternatives I've looked at don't have a decent Android app, which is an element I enjoy with ttrss.
I just got going on matrix and I wish there were better XMPP iOS apps. Chat services without friends don’t work and bad iOS apps keeps people away. After all this time there isn’t a good adoption of XMPP for iOS except iMessage I guess.
- @GregoryTheGreat @beigegull I've got a few friends using xmpp apps on iOS, mostly snikket (which is a rebranded siskin). Works well, notifications work as they should, so does audio/video calling, and e2ee works too of course. Monal has apparently gotten better recently
@beigegull @devve Totally agree that your email is basically your de facto identity online. I didn't have the heart to fully host my own mail server but I made the decision to ditch gmail and use my own domain with a hosted provider. I am hosting my own IMAP server so the plan will be to work my way up to where you are eventually...

I run a bunch of bots, some databases plus

Jellyfin
Unifi controller
Radar
Sonarr
Lidarr
Bazarr
nzbhydra2
Sabnzbd
Heimdall
Twitch points miner 2

I have a MediaWiki instance on my laptop (I've found the features of all other wikis/mindmaps/knowledge databases decisively insufficient after having a taste of MW templates, Semantic MediaWiki and Scribunto).

Also some smaller things like pihole-standalone, Jellyfin and dictd.

Curious what you use a local version of MediaWiki for?
- Primarily as a personal knowledge database, but also management of what, how and when is to be done (not for reminders or external motivation; rather to form a mental picture and understand the priorities). In future, I'll also use it to track the state of various ongoing affairs as the need arises, and perhaps integrate local programs and APIs into the wiki pages (that's probably where I'd need to write custom MW extensions).

Lemmy, mostly :D. I also recently started up my own Matrix home server. I took a stab at email, but it was more trouble than it's worth considering my relatively newly acquired cloud hosting IP is on several blacklists. Now that I actually have a server running again Gitea might be next on the list of services that gets added.

Dedicated Raspberry Pi4 running Home Assistant on an M.2 SATA SSD.

Custom built server in Lian-Li PC-D600 case. 3x5 Drive SATA backplane. OpenMediaVault is the server software. Following is running in Docker:

Nextcloud
Jellyfin
Grocy
Snap-IT
Photoprism
Onlyoffice Document Server
Netdata
Motioneye
Ombi
TiddlyWiki
Adguard
Audiobookshelf
Jellystat
OpenVPN
Vaultwarden
DailyTXT
Papermerge

Since I'm moving very soon I'm also redoing everything, so this more of a "soon-to-be" than a current, but I will have:

3x ryzen 5600 w/ 32gb of ECC ram, 10gb network and some enterprise disks 1x mikrotik switch 1x mikrotik router

And I will host, using Kubernetes (Talos OS):

ceph
owncloud infinite scale
Immich
Jellyfin
Homeassistant
Hashicorp vault
Oneuptime
gitea
plane
actual (finance software)
probably forgetting some stuff

How do you find actual? I couldn't really get to grips with it. Although it certainly seemed sleeker than Firefly III.
- It's pretty good and it's the only open source solution that managed to import transactions from bank statements with few mistakes. but my problem is always to solve conflicts. And I'm always coming back to simple spreadsheets as i can plan some things, do projections with more control.

I'm running a Kubernetes cluster on the Dell hardware, then another single node k8s cluster on the Lenovo, mostly to run Adguard home / DNS in case the big cluster goes down for whatever reason.

Hardware:

Two Dell r610s, each with 12 cores and 96 GB of RAM, running ESXi 6.7
Lenovo M900, 4 core, 16 GB RAM, Ubuntu and k3s
Synology 1515 with 12 TB usable
Synology 1517 with 32 TB usable
Juniper SRX 220H (Firewall)
Juniper EX 2200 48 port switch
UnFi in-wall WiFi APs

I run the following services, all in Kubernetes, with FluxCD doing GitOps from a repo in GitHub (for now, might move to Gitea later):

Authentik
Bookstack
Calibre
Flame (Homepage)
Frigate NVR
Home Assistant
Memos
Monica
Plex
Prowlarr
Radarr
Rocket Chat
Sonarr
Tandoor
Tautulli
Unifi
UptimeKuma

Zigbee2MQTT

Mind sharing your Kubernetes config? I'm living off of a bunch of docker compose config files, and I'd love to make the jump to Kubernetes.
- DM'd!
I love Monica!
- I'm looking forward to see what they do with their new version, chandler
What are the benefits of Kubernetes in a home server?

On my own hardware: At home I have a Raspberry Pi 4 running JellyFin as a local media server, also experimenting with PiHole. One of these days I'd like to pull my NextCloud server in-house.

VPS: Nextcloud (including calendar, notes, contacts & RSS/Atom), GoToSocial, WordPress, Gemini, and personal website with a mix of home-grown parts and sections managed through Eleventy.

I've also experimented with self-hosting Calckey , Snac2 and Mastodon, but Mastodon's too heavy for a single user and Snac2 is lighter than I want to go with for now. I may try Calckey again at some point, though.

Eventually I'd like to set up Wallabag and migrate from Pocket.

Just in case it's helpful, here's my docker-compose file for Wallabag behind traefik: https://pastebin.com/b2VEbxae
- Thanks! Saving that for later...
Also have a look at omnivore as a pocket alternative!

I have a 800W solar panel and some home automatization at home. Therefor, I use MQTT & NodeRED.

Starting to fall down the rabbit hole of self hosting,

Unraid, Plex & Pihole. Next project is Opnsense, then starting to look at Home Assistant.

Plex and a web app I wrote for a Twitch community I moderate.

Plex is on a server in the Netherlands and the web app is just AWS. I would've hosted on some spare hardware but my internet is notoriously trash and I didn't want to risk it going down while people are playing in the app.

Plex I might move onto a NAS at some point but I'm just too lazy lol.

I only have a few services:

jellyfin (media server)
firefly iii (expense manager)
freshrss (rss aggregator)
personal telegram bot to auto convert news link to epub for reading in my ereader

All of the service other than jellyfin is hosted on a vps. Jellyfin is hosted from my home and can be accessed remotely via wireguard. However because my isp doesn't provide a public ip, I need to use my vps as wireguard jump host

Client <-> vps <-> home server

Client <-> vps <-> home server

I'm looking to set up exactly this for myself with a linode vps, and wireguard containers. Any tips? Even a docker compose snippet would be helpful.
- I don't use docker but this is my config https://gist.github.com/jrandiny/4abf2101e0cac724ce2469ed30c2670c

Currently self-hosting on an old HP Z600 I bought second hand with the following specs:

CPU — 2x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5660 @ 2.80GHz
RAM — 96GB ECC DDR3 (6*16GB)
Disks — 4TB HDD for Ubuntu, 10TB HDD for NextCloud and 2TB Sata SSD for Docker

For services, I'm currently running the following:

Docker

Portainer — CF Tunnel
FreshRSS — CF Tunnel
ArchiveBox — CF Tunnel
Adguard Home — Local
2x Uptime Kuma — CF Tunnel
LinkAce — CF Tunnel
TheLounge — CF Tunnel
Watchtower — Local

For public access dockers

Feedropolis
Mirotalk SFU
FiveFilters RSS
Taiga
2x Mattermost Servers
8x Wordpress Staging Sites
1x Wordpress Dev Sites

For ubuntu, I'm running a few services and apps like:

ScreamingFrog -9 sites using LAMP stack
Aria2c with AriaNG
NextCloud
Plex
4x WebHooks server for communities
Couple of API end points using Apache reverse proxy
OpenVPN
CrowdSec

CF Tunnel

Cloud Flare tunnel? If so, Could you point me in the direction of some resources for cloudflare tunnels! I always feel like i'm stumbling around in the dark when i'm trying to configure a cloudflare tunnel! :P
- Hey, I don't really have any resource, I also stumble and mess with it myself until I got the hang of it. I guess I can write a blogpost on how Cloudflare Tunnel actually works and how to configure it easily.
  
  I'll update you once I do.
May I ask why you prefer Cloudflare tunnels over regular port forwarding + dynamic DNS? Except if you are behind CGNAT, in my opinion letting Cloudflare read all your data kind of breaks the whole privacy aspect of self hosting.
- Cloudflare is the only service that I trust enough with my data. My domain names are also hosted there, so there's no reason not to make use of Cloudflare's CDN and security vs having to harden my own server all the time, or spinning up instances all over the world for faster access and keeping it all updated at all times. I'm also using CrowdSec as a backup behind Cloudflare.
  
  I'm not behind a CGNAT, and I also have a static IP. However, I think Cloudflare's Zero Trust is good enough since I'm already using their Cloudflare masking. No reason not to do it considering I have access behind most of my services.

Personally, I host Sandstorm, and Discord music bot, and Minecraft.

I have a two server proxmox cluster (beelink ser5, hp prodesk micro g3) plus running and proxying some services to my daily driver desktop

Jellyfin and adguard.

So... ODroid N2+ is hosting a Home Assistant. Nothing to add.

I have an old Intel Nuc nuc5cpyh that is currently hosting my WordPress blog at https://some-techy-tinkering.com/. Made it self-hosted a month ago and can't be happier.

The last machine is Intel Nuc nuc7i7bnh with 2 TBs of internal and 4.5 TBs of external drives. This is my main server with:

Nginx Proxy Manager
Nextcloud
Various *arr services
qBittorrent
Plex

Two NextCloud instances, one is a RPi4 with a big external HDD which I use for backups, the other one contains everything else, including PhoneTrack. Happy to have a self-hosted privacy-friendly way to share my location with family.
Email using mailcow.
Jabber server using prosody. Using it with immediate family and two friends. Still super happy.
Web server including personal blogs. Currently looking to migrate away from Wordpress into something static without comments.
pihole
Half-finished home automation stuff.

I host:

Node-RED
InfluxDB
Grafana
piHole, Cloudflare DNS over HTTPS client

qBittorrent, Gluetun
Jellyfin
Watchtower
Honeygain, Pawns App, Peer2Profit, Traffmonetizer
4 Websites via Nginx
a few services that I wrote myself

I think that should be it. I left out some less important ones and probably forgot a few that I don't use that often. All these services are spread across 2 servers at home and a small VPS mainly used for the mailserver and Uptime Kuma.

Honeygain etc.... First time I hear about them. Do you mind sharing how much you get?
- It really depends on the type of IP you have and your location, but it's really not much for me. From Honeygain I get like 20 bucks every 6 months and when paying out the money around 4$ get lost by transaction fees, but better than nothing and those services use so few resources, you don't even notice them running in the background.

All on one system, basically an old Dell Optiplex that I got for free when a company was shutting down. I5 6600 with 16 gb ram.

Portainer for easy docker management
Nginx Proxy Manager to provide easy access to the docker containers with SSL

Docker:

NextCloud
Slskd (https://github.com/slskd/slskd - web based soulseek client)
JellyFin
Tailscale
Vaultwarden

These are the containers that are running 24/7 but I play around a lot, trying new things :)

arr stacks
Immich
Plex
Adguard
Home Assistant

All of these running on freshly built UNRAID, migrated over from Proxmox over the weekend.

Hi there. My first post in this community.

I'm currently running:

Pi-hole
Plex Media Server
Grafana
Torrent server
Monica
Shaarli
Matrix instance
Arch package cache
Several game servers such as Minecraft and Terraria
VM running Volvo software to troubleshoot my cars.

My hardware: I used to run it all on a Supermicro x9drd-7ln4f-jbod with dual Xeon E5-2670 v2 with 16x16GB ECC ram and 6x 3TB disks in raidz2 for storage and 2x 60gb Intel SSDs for OS. I started with less and upgraded towards this configuration but it was consuming 300 watt idle which was just unacceptable.

So earlier this year I upgraded to an ASRock Rack x470D4U with Ryzen 7 5700x and 4x32GB ECC (non-registered) ram and 6x 2TB SSDs in raidz2. 1 ssd is in the nvme slot on the motherboard, 4 are in a 4x4 bifurcation card in the 16x slot and 1 more in a 4x riser. All PCIe lanes of the CPU are used. This setup is not possible with an AMD CPU with integrated GPU since it will take up 4 PCIe lanes (you can guess how I know). It uses about 20 watt idle without any containers and VMs running. I initially didn't want to move away from Supermicro but the ASRock Rack motherboard has IPMI so I'm not missing out on much.

Hardware and software suggestions are welcome :D

some sort of mail stack, TBD

A bunch (47 containers at present)... Won't list them here as its kind of redundant with what a lot of other people are running. My latest is Lemmy (lemmy.nine-hells.net).

Greetings!

Not really self hosting a lot right now, but I've been spending a lot of time reengineering my network and fixing some things. Recently retired my loud and power-hungry pfsense server, replacing it with a Mikrotik rb5009, so setting that up has been a steep learning curve.

Most things are running on my Synology DS920+, except for a few raspberry pis.

Jellyfin (docker)
Kavita (docker)
Home Assistant (pi4)
Paperless-ngx (docker)
~~PiHole (pi zero)~~ currently broken
Unifi controller (docker)
Grafana (home assistant)
InfluxDB (docker)
LibreNMS (VM)

Always looking for more, but so far it's pretty minimal.

Pi.hole with Gravity Sync
openhabian for smarthome hub

Looking to add Jellyfin and a sonarr radarr setup, but my QNAP doesn't like doing actual work so I've been struggling. Planning to add a mini PC soon as a more stable server and to centralize things a bit.

I live small in the cloud for now:

dns
email
homeassistant

Used to selfhost a gitlab instance, nextcloud and some other things, but I'm between houses so it has to wait.

Lots of good inspiration here!

Hopefully you got a good internet upgrade, also just moved and upgraded to a 5gig symmetric line!

Plex+arrs etc Nextcloud Komga SWAG Photoprism HA

128TB.

My main hypervisor is proxmox which runs an unraid vm with the iGPU passed through to accelerate PLEX and disk controllers to manage the storage. I also have 2 Endeavour OS VMs, one that runs Thunderbird and Insync. Another that has a quadro p2000 passed through to tinker with. I also have a homeassistant vm and a proxmox CT running docker.

I'm working up to transitioning the dockers on unraid to a proxmox container but at the same time if it's not broke why fix it.

I also want to mess with networking by putting in OPNsense or pfsense and routing some traffic through a vps.

I did this with a VPS pfsense instance linked to my local pfsense via site to site VPN, and haproxy for email to get a static IP. Worked very well.

I have a two server proxmox cluster (beelink ser5, hp prodesk micro g3) plus running and proxying some services to my daily driver desktop

Services:

authelia
caddy
change dection
code server
file browser
gokapi
immich
jellyfin
jupyter notebook server (for python development)
kasm
linkding
mealie
nextcloud
nocodb
olivetin
paperless
portainer
syncthing
gluetun
- radarr, sonarr, jacket
upsnap
vaultwarden

I'm just getting my server up and running! Previously it only ran Honeassistant.

Now it runs proxmox, which boots 2 vms, one for HAOS and another for Debian. On the Debian vm there is currently Plex, nextcloud, and some -arr apps.

8 also have a separate raspberry pi pihole. I've had that going for years now, I think I first made it 2019.

I host one of the worlds last gopher sites. And some Telegram bots, on Raspberry Pi's.

Wow, is Gopher still a thing?
- Sure is. There is now Flask Gopher for building gopher sites in Python.

All services are split across 2 DIY servers (in towers). 15TB of media stored on HDD with btrfs duplicated across both servers. One server host is Alpine Linux, the other is Opensuse MicroOS. LXD containers usually are Debian 12 or Alpine. I'm beginning to migrate some things to a cluster of (12) raspberry pi 3s. Unsure what to choose for rpi's, maybe, Fedora CoreOS (ublue), although Alpine does work extremely well on them (once you get them set up with it).

Security

All the services available from internet, just goes through traefik to terminate https, I rely on the build in authentication of each service. To add another layer of security, I have fail2ban active on all those services.

I have a public IP, and I have open on my router ports 80, 443, a random port for ssh and vpn.

docker compose files

All the docker compose files + how I configured everything is available at: https://github.com/simone-viozzi/my-server

Bonus:

Since I like the ability of btrfs to do snapshots, I created all important docker volumes as btrfs subvolumes. Then I created a backup script that literally sends the subvolume (encrypted) to an external cloud. This does not allow incremental backups and most likely is not the best backup solution... but it works... the repo is: https://github.com/simone-viozzi/btrfs2cloud-backup

I welcome any advice / criticism!

Twitch Channel Points Miner

Currently testing, mainly to replace InvenTree and follow the inventory and manufacturing of my custom ergonomic keyboards:

Odoo
ERPNext
Dolibarr
NocoDB

Still have to set up backups and I guess create scripts/notes to know how to update every one of these.

currently, I selfhost https://beyondcombustion.net and now https://lemmy.beyondcombustion.net for /r/vaporents and hopefully others. There's other stuff I self host too, this is the fun new stuff though.

I'm glad to see vaporents coming here. Is this an official migration or enthusiastic former redditors?
- As official as it gets lol.
  
  I'm one of the mods, have a stickied post on this with a link at the end. Just haven't made a separate official post about it yet.
  
  BeyondCombustion.net has been our wiki, formerly at github.io, for the last few years.
  
  Decided to point that domain at some dell R720xd/R730xd boxes I picked up and setup a whole new entry into the fediverse, along with a number of other things for our users.

I self host a website and email on linode. Sometimes I host game servers like minecraft at home. I'm currently trying to setup selfhosted nextcloud for a project that needs fileshare.

I turned my last two gaming PCs into Proxmox hosts and I have a Hetzner vps that will host something eventually.

2010 Gaming PC:

Pihole VM (w/ Unbound)
Docker teet VM
Piwigo
Chevereto

Pihole is running on a keepalived vip that acts as my secondary DNS server. Gravity sync keeps it in line with my main Pihole VM (push/pull) and then I have an old rpi also on the same keepalived vip that has gravity sync set up that pulls from the secondary VM

Anything I run as an evaluation or that needs testing also runs here. This machine gets Proxmox updates first as well.

These are split amongst a few VMs depending on criticality and further broken down to needs (VPN, whether or not I can reboot and not affect my wife/kids, network share requirements.

I'm pretty much always tweaking something and having fun with it

This is an incredible amount of services! Where would you suggest someone with basic hardware begin with setting some of this stuff up, and what are some of the essentials to you?
- My mission critical services are:
  
  Unraid
  
  Nextcloud
  
  Gitea
  
  Nginx Proxy Manager/Caddy
  
  Pihole
  
  NPM/Caddy accomplish the same goal (reverse proxy with lets encrypt SSL) but I've had much better performance out of Caddy. Things that require web sockets in NPM are very hit or miss but in Caddy they work without any extra tweaking for me.
  
  As for where to start, it depends on what you want to accomplish. Do you want to replace Google Drive/One Drive/Dropbox etc? Then Nextcloud is a fantastic place to start (coincidentally this is what I started with 5ish years ago.)
  
  I prefer to have Proxmox as my hypervisor and then run whatever I need in VMs (and some VMs run docker containers.) Others prefer to have unRAID on baremetal and use their implementation of docker. There's also TrueNAS SCALE which I haven't looked into.
  
  There's also the world of the seven seas, matey, in which case the *arrs are my absolute necessities.
  
  Ultimately, there are lots of options and it comes down to what you want to do with the hardware you have. I started off with a gaming PC and slowly added hard drives and an LSI card (which gets passed through to my unRAID VM.) But really all you need to get started with messing around is to figure out what you want to do first. The hobby has turned into a labor of love for me lol

I see people listing things I've never heard about...I thought I had spent a considerable amount of time on the old sub and knew stuff. Guess I gotta hit the books.

Right now though I'm hosting everything on a 2012 Mac Mini that's running Proxmox.

Been using these programs for awhile now:

Photoprism
wireguard
web blog testing instance while the live one lives on linode
plex
filebrowser
pi-hole
homepage

Nothing crazy but cool stuff to learn in my day to day. I want more hardware but I'm about to buy a house. It's crazy how much I'm throwing at an 11 year old computer and it's handling it all quite well.

Just testing from selfhosted instance!

Hi everyone! I’m a big fan of self hosting :)

I have a dedicated server in Hetzner

Intel Core i7-8700
2x SSD M.2 NVMe 1 TB
4x RAM 32768 MB DDR4

Been running it for almost a year without any issues. I host several things there. I’m using caprover.com for managing my deployments since I contributed on the project a few years ago and it’s so easy to get started.

Some of the things I host there:

nextcloud
MySQL
Postgres
privatebin
some Hasura instances
Kuma (for monitoring)
Browserless Chrome (which I use for web scrapping)
Plausible (analytics)
A private Ragnarok Online Server

I have setup a cron job that dumps my all of my databases (Postgres and MySQL) to my Google drive every midnight.

Hope this can help as inspiration for anyone else. Cheers!

Thanks for you detailing your experience.I am very interested in CapRover! I do not quite understand databases and Docker containers though. The one click WordPress deployment has a db version. What of Moodle, Nextcloud or Invoice Ninja though? Do they need their own containerised databases or can I just use MyPHPadmin to import all my current Mysql databases from my current shared hosting in the same db once the WP one click install is done? Also, would it be possible to setup a cron job to backup to a storage drive plugged into a home router? Thanks!

I dabble in the ARRs, plex, jellyfin, emby nextcloud. I have an old supermicro server 2014 I got on eBay with dual e5 2620, 64gb RAM, and 12 hdds of various types adding to 100tb all on LVM in ubuntu. I'm planning on transitioning to UnRAID once I get the motivation because my storage hygiene is bad. I've broken LVM too often with misplaced commands.

I'm looking at making an offsite backup shortly mostly for nextcloud at a coworkers home. I am trying to get rid of my reliance on Google for backup.

I don't selfhost very much compared to other people and my hardware's pretty much either all literally found in the garbage or 2nd hand, but here it is

PiHole

WireGuard server that passes trough pihole adblocking

Homarr (lol)

Deluge

The system is mostly a NAS that I also run the occasinal general purpose VM off of, here are the specs for the 3 ppl that care:

CPU: AMD FX-8320E

RAM: 16GB

Storage: 5x2TB Seagate something something 7200RPM in RAIDz1, 128 GB random chinese SSD (mostly for VMs and apps) the, OS runs off of a flash drive

OS: TrueNAS scale

Running Tipi on a five year old chrome box with tailscale as the VPN. Has been running great! Now I'm self hosting

Adguard: adblocking inside tailnet & for DNS rewrites
Barrage: Nice deluge UI
Beszel: Clean & simple server monitoring. I monitor two of my instances & the self hosted setup on this.
Beszel Agent: Agent for collecting data for Baszel
Deluge: Torrenting
Duplicati: Backups with a great UI
File Browser: for quick ops
Flowise AI: Great drag and drop LLM chat apps builder
Immich: The absolute best way to manage pictures
Jackett: For the arr stack
Jellyfin: Media streaming solution with apps on my phone, TV & laptops
Open WebUI: My default LLM chat client now, I no longer pay 20$ for chatGPT but just pay as I go with open webui and chatgpt api key

I have a meager ds418play with 2x4tb drives set up with RAID. I forget what it's called, but it is one drive redundancy, 1:1. I run Plex and an FTP server on it for file storage.

I host a bitcoin node, and some video

Lots of stuff! Currently running almost all of these in Docker on a Synology NAS:

Code Server - access my notes files remotely
Gitea - only used to store notes that are edited in Obsidian (or Code Server as mentioned above)
Home Assistant - home automation
Homebridge - used for one or two devices that have better integrations than natively in Home Assistant
Jellyfin - video streaming platform (installed because it's FOSS and seems interesting, but I rarely use it)
Overseerr - user-request app for video streaming platform (installed when I anticipated sharing my movies/shows before realizing that my ISP severely limits my upload speeds)
Pi-Hole - block all ads network-wide
Plex - primary video streaming platform
Radarr - download movies
Readarr - download books but have had better luck with Libgen on an ad-hoc basis
Sonarr - download shows
YTDL - download YT videos
Wireguard - VPN into the home network

Hardware: Main server Ryzen 7 3900XT with 64GB of ram, two 240GB ssds running in raid1, two 4tb hard drives running in raid1, running proxmox with mostly alpine linux VMs

Secondary Server: Intel nuc running alpinelinux, only running secondary unbound/dnsmasq server so if my main server goes down, dns still works.

Late 2013 iMac: I was using it to run an iMessage to matrix bridge but I was not able to get it to work so now I just vnc into it to text. (suggestions welcome as vnc is annoying)

I also have another intel nuc that does not do anything.

All of these servers are connected to an APC back-ups UPS.

I used to host a ton of stuff, now I just host my WordPress site on Linode.

I have toyed with the idea of selfhosting a Lemmy server, but that's a project for another day.

Hardware:

Two Dell r610s, each with 12 cores and 96 GB of RAM, running ESXi 6.7
Lenovo M900, 4 core, 16 GB RAM
Synology 1515 with 12 TB usable
Synology 1517 with 32 TB usable
Juniper SRX 220H (Firewall)
Juniper EX 2200 48 port switch
UnFi in-wall WiFi APs

Running a Kubernetes cluster on the Dell hardware, then another single node k8s cluster on the Lenovo, mostly to run Adguard home / DNS in case the big cluster goes down for whatever reason.

I run the following services, all in Kubernetes, with FluxCD doing GitOps from a repo in GitHub (for now, might move to Gitea later):

Authentik
Bookstack
Calibre
Flame (Homepage)
Frigate NVR
Home Assistant

Isn't it scary self-hosting Plex after the news of the guy who's work code got stolen via a Plex exploit? Can't remember what actually happened, I just know he was self-hosting Plex and got screwed.

Nothing too grand - a couple Discord bots and a few retro shooter servers in the cloud, and also a Raspberry Pi 4 in the living room which serves nicely as a media center and seed box.

I selfhost on a 2011 Mac Mini running Ubuntu with 16 gb ram:

Metabase (a data library of charts, dashboards)
NocoDB (an Airtable replacement that makes it easy for my users to get data into Metabase)

I'm also setting these up on VPS

Hello

Let's have a look at the inventory

RPI 4B
- OpenHab (Openhabian actually, so some additional services like Zigbee2MQTT or Grafana)
HP EliteDesk 800 G2 i5-6500T, 8GiB RAM - this one is currently the mainstay of my lab, running containers with docker-compose
- Nginx as reverse proxy (+ fail2ban)
- Paperless-ngx (+ Redis, Tika, Gotenberg)
- Jellyfin
- Minecraft server (+ Mapcrafter)
- ddclient
- Heimdall
Dell OptiPlex 7060 Micro i7-8700T 32GiB RAM
- I've gotten this one fairly recently. A real bargain - costed as much as the CPU alone and was in pristine condition. I will be migrating the workload from EliteDesk to this one. I decided to try ProxMox this time though, so I need to learn a bit first. Also perhaps add a second SSD

My biggest issue with Dell is the inability to upgrade the power supply 😭

Turns out I have quite a lot of stuff, and yet I'm here thinking I barely have anything! Until now:

Nextcloud
Kitchenowl (grocery lists)
Kavita (ebook manager)
Grist (spreadsheets that are databases I guess?)
Sharry (file sharing)
Changedetection.io
A ghost blog
Bookstack (like a manual on managing the server)
Portainer (manage containers from a webui)
Diun (notifies when an update is released for a container. Doesn't have a webui)
Homepage dashboard (basically a webpage that shows me my selfhosted services)

All these are running inside Docker containers, on an ancient laptop with a single cpu core and 3 gigs of RAM.

Excited to discover more things to host on that ~~little~~ pretty big guy (somehow its still running well)!

Pi-hole, Wireguard + 'a CDN client' on raspberry pi 4 with SSD
Ditched my Synology NAS, running an unRaid machine now:
i5-10400, 32 GiB (to much) Memory, 15.7 TB used of 60 TB

VMs: homeassistant , macOS, Windows 10
SWAG, Cloudflare DDNS, Arrrrrr dockers, Plex, ArchiveTeamWarrior, gokapi, qBittorrent, Resilio Sync, wikijs, mariaDB + whatever I find interesting to try out

Jellyfin and Nextcloud with UptimeKuma for monitoring. A pretty simple stack running on a mini tower, but it works great for my primary needs. Portainer for managing docker containers and stacks from a GUI.

Not much at the moment. Pihole, Pydio, Syncthing, Gitea, Mariadb, Filebrowser, and lighttpd to retrieve weather readings from a homemade weather station.

In addition to the standard complement of jellyfin etc. I run a Docker OS on Google's free tier with Gotify along with Uptime Kuma running on a tiny x86 computer accessed via a Cloudflare tunnel. Discord watches the watcher and notifies me if Gotify goes down!

It's a great combo. All reverse proxying is handled by HAProxy on my pfsense router.

Hi, I have an Unraid server (currently offline due to moving :'-/ ) running

VMs:

2 full flat Windows and Pop_OS! VMs with GPU passed through
2 low resource Windows and Pop_OS! VMs accessible by VNC
Home assistant OS

Docker containers:

Calibre + Calibre-web: apart from managing my ebook library, calibre goes through my RSS feed and generates daily epub newspaper/magazines that are send by Syncthing to my eink tablet
Syncthing: apart from that it also synchronizes my handwritten notes from my eink tablet between my devices
Nextcloud: intended to replace Google/Microsoft cloud, but, due to previous apartment's internet connection with PIA triple-ish NAT situation, is only used to backup photo/video from my phone (might change later)
EMBY: media streaming
Gitea: WIP, not currently used
dokuwiki: WIP, intended to acumulate manuals to home appliances and stramlined directions on how to use and maintain them
influxDB and Grafana: values and graphs from Home Assistant

The server was born when I merged my desktop PC, that was off and not utilized most of the time anyway, and my off the shelf NAS with 4 drives in raid5, that was slow, loud and could only run built-in garbage services. I ran Emby on Windows on my desktop, meaning I would have to manully turn it on every time I wanted to watch something.

Now my server runs on Ryzen 5 1600 with 48GB of RAM, GTX 1060 salvaged from a minig rig and total of 7 drives - 4 HDDs, 2 Sata SSD mirrored for cache and containers and 1 NVME SSD for VMs.

On a VPS:

mailcow for email for a personal domain

On home network:

unraid server as a local fileserver for backups and media (repurposed from an i5 2500k with a bunch of drives added)
unraid server hosts a bunch of containers -- plex -- jellyfin -- *arr apps

Edit: and hoping to play around with hosting a lemmy server in the next few days

Currently self-hosting a pi-hole instance, an nfs/smb server & a LAN-only webserver, as well as 24/7 syncthing (to which I automatically send my phone's photos to)

My specs are:

Intel Atom N270 (1 core, 2 threads) 1Gb DDR2 Ram (God knows the frequency but it's slow.) And a 500gb HDD

You really don't need a lot of oomph to self host! I'm planning on running a qBitTorrent webui next.

I self-host in a rented server. I wrote about my adventures here: https://github.com/bruj0/ProxmoxIPv6

Hardware:

CPU: 2x Intel Xeon E5-2695v4
RAM: 256GB ECC
Storage: 4x256GB Enterprise SSD, 4x2TB SSD (ZFS Striped Mirror)

Software:

pfSense
Proxmox
k3s with Flux and Longhorn
Gitea

UniFi
FreshRSS
Grafana / Loki
Ntfy
Paperless-ngx
Vaultwarden
Minio
Syncthing

I purchased the server used. The services are mostly running in a virtualized cluster, which is absolutely oversized for the current tasks. However, it has motivated me to learn Kubernetes and the power consumption is within my limits.

I use proxmox on my server. I virtualize opnsense (with adguard and wireguard), jellyfin, unifi, home assistant, and syncthing.

I have a synology ds220j w/ 2x10tb

Hardware: Intel 12100, 32gb ram, i350-t4 network card TP link TL-SG108E switch

I'm going to move opnsense to a dedicated box eventually

Mail server
Bitwarden (vaultwarden)
Git server (apache + basic git server. no git frontend)

All on dedicated cloud servers for simplicity and security.

Im looking at selfhostihng on my own hardware again. Im considering the following

lemmy instance
proxmox with gpu
Some sort of production database

I have a (beefy specd) Intel NUC that's running Proxmox. A few of the VMs mount to my RS1221+ for things like media (Jellyfin), etc.

On Proxmox I run

Jellyfin (media server)
Home Assistant (home automation)
PiHole (DNS)
Ansible (For keeping everything up to date and applying bulk actions)
NGINX Proxy Manager (so I can access things locally with a nice URL)
VM to host my Discord bots
Whoogle (Search engine)
AMP game server

Probably missing a few, but that's the jist

I have Vaultwarden running on an old laptop, so I definitely don't have much going on. Reading through these comments gives me plenty of ideas on what else to run though!

First post in the world of Lemmy! Woot! Another Reddit escapee. I can't for the life of me understand the management team at Reddit. I get that they need to make money and that they're pissed off at the AI guys for pilfering their data but the people who contribute to the subreddits and moderate them for free are why Reddit is such a success. Why would you screw them over? It's so short sited. If you're pissed at OpenAI then talk to them and figure out how they can pay for your API access but don't screw the people that made you a success. They can afford to spend a little of the VC/Microsoft money. Okay...off the soap box now.....

Up until very recently I was running all my services on a HP DL380 Gen9 server. Beautiful server but sucks back electricity like a drunk on New Years Eve and is way too noisy for my office. Purchased 4 different Tiny PCs (3 Lenovos and 1 Dell).

One Lenovo (AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 2200GE with 32GB RAM) is running RockyLinux with Docker with 20+ containers currently running.

"Sweden Services" - SABnzbd, Sonarr, Radarr and Lidarr
Tools - IT-Tools, Pairdrop, CyberChef and Paperless NGX
Homelab services - Portainer, Dozzle and Nginx Proxy Manager
Info - FreshRSS
Media - Plex, Audiobookshelf and Navidrome

I'm constantly playing with different containers - adding, removing, etc. I did try making the switch to Podman as I like the idea of rootless containers but could not for the life of me get things like NFS shares and Portainer integration working and was spending way too much time fighting with it. Will probably try again in the near future.

Then the other 3 Tiny PCs are running XCP-NG with various VMs including my Xen Orchestra, Kali, a couple Windows machines (usually off), Tailscale gateway box and a few others. Again, mostly for testing things out.

Using OpnSense as my firewall. Have a TrueNAS system sharing files and another small Rockstor NAS also.

Looking forward to the community here. Thanks.

Have ordered an N100 mini PC from aliexpress with plans of installing OPNsense and running a couple VMs on it.

My gaming computer for interest, not currently hosting anything: 5800X3D, 7900XTX, 32GB ram, 2TB NVME, 2TB SSD, 4TB HDD, fractal meshify midbtower case.

I also have a Pi 4 and a Pi 3 that I don't have any use for currently. Open to ideas. I already run Adguard on phone and Ublock origin on desktop browser, and don't see any current use for Pihole.

I only self host a pi hole.

Hi, I have a few bits and pieces.

Currently I have:

Pi Zero running pi-hole

A Mac mini running overseer on Linux

Another Mac mini that I use for dev work that’s also running sonarr, radarr, bazarr, plex and Hoobs under MacOS

A Dell R170 running a number of VMs (windows and Linux) that host a couple of websites , and a load balancer on proxmox.

Things are a bit spread out where I sometimes just had to use the hardware I had to hand but it all works together somehow.

Edit: I've also just spun up a MediaWiki for me and my colleagues to use to store useful snippets of code etc. in a central place. Although I know my colleagues, they'll use it once and then it'll be abandoned :D

Here's my little list:

Proxmox VE 1

OpnSense (VM)
- Wireguard
- Unbound
PiHole (LXE)

Proxmox VE 2

Dockerhost (LXE)

Nextcloud
Akkoma
Lemmy
Synapse
Keycloak
Dashy
Paperless NGX
Whoogle
Grafana
CCU Historian
DMARC / TLS Reports
Prometheus

RaspberryMatic Octoprint

eMail

Postfix, Dovecot, etc.
Ciphermail email encryption

A Plex server, two DayZ servers and as of today a Lemmy instance. 😀

I selfhost a lot of the normal stuff everyone else does. Plex, AdguardHome, etc...

I also have a 96+ port dial-up server system: https://2600.network

Minecraft server, a pingvin share site for myself, tubearchivist, pihole, pivpn, 25mb video compressor with a script and incrontab along with the same thing but for GIFs. I think that's most of the list

Navidrome

I have a few raspberry pis, running Home Assistant, Unifi controller, PiHole... Otherwise i have DigitalOcean droplets, one hosts my Lemmy instance, and another hosts a couple of side project websites (my wife's freelance business, and some other stuff)

I'm hosting Trillium Note for my personal note taking.

Currently I play around with a Raspi 4 8GB with docker-compose. Most services are accessible with VPN only:
Caddy (as easy reverse proxy)
Portainer (container dashboard)
Linkding (bookmarks)
Baikal (calendar, todo list to sync with Android by caldav)
Agendav (web calendar frontend)
Dillinger (browser markdown editor with PDF export)
Trilium (note app)
Syncthing (google drive/onedrive alternative)
Seafile (file sharing)
Jellyfin (media server)

Feel free to take it as a chance to present yourself to the community!

Hello, my name is Zingo and I have a selfhosting addition going back to 2016 when I bought my first NAS with docker capabilities.

Community: Hi Zingo! Welcome!

Thank you.

Currently struggling more than even as it starts to take over my life. I have tried over hundreds of services.

I'll try to find strength to list some at a later stage in this healing process. Sorry no bonus points. Maybe in the next session.

Thank you all for this awesome support. I would be lost without you. 💓

Two "servers"

Pi4-8gb; 1TB SSD:

External-facing

Pi-hole
home assistant
web server
Calibre
Simple games like Minecraft

Dual Xeon; 96Gb Ram; 50TB; bound NICs:

Internal, mostly

media: Jellyfin, -arrs
Sabnzbd
Steam games server (these are external containers)
Looking to add cloud files access; just haven't decided what and how, yet

Late to the party and after reading through some of these setups I may have to expand mine soon (it never ends does it?), here is what I have right now.

Unraid (Dell R720XD, dual Xeon E5-2670 v2, 64GB RAM, 12 x 6TB in 12 disk array with 2 parity disks, 800GB SSD cache pool)

-Mumble

-NextPVR

-Stirling-PDF

-WebTop

-Frigate

-MCServer (gameserver)

-SDTDServer (gameserver)

-SFServer (gameserver)

There are some other things floating around in my homelab that aren't really 'selfhosted' things, just important to the home network:

3 HP Microserver Gen8's

-x1 with ESXi hosting pfSense

-x2 with TrueNas Scale for backups

R610 with ESXi for a few remote desktops and Home Assistant (which I'm sure I'll move to docker at some point).

backrest headscale emulatorjs it-tools webtop ...

Oooohhh... some really interesting and new-to-me apps in your list! Thanks for sharing.

Presently, my Fediverse presence is mostly self-hosted by one definition or another. This Lemmy instance lives on my server, and my Masto is hosted by a company dedicated to exactly that because it's dirty cheap and one fewer thing for me to worry about.

Looking to add to the list.

So I’ve got a mediocre mini PC that I’m using as a NAS with a USB RAID1 enclosure after my NAS bit the dust. It’s running the following:

Network file sharing
Pi-hole
Tailscale
Navidrome
Logitech Media Server

And then I’ve got a RPi4 also running Tailscale, a backup Pi-Hole, and something called mlbserver which lets me access mlb.tv streams (legally) as m3u8 playlists and avoid the mediocre mlb apps.

What's the USB Raid1 enclosure your using, and do you reccomend it? I'm looking for something similar.
- I’m using this Sabrent one, and so far it’s worked without any issues. It’s a bit more expensive than other solutions, but it has a card reader and extra USB input.
  
  Honestly, Sabrent is my go-to for USB stuff, I’ve had nothing but good experiences.

3 Proxmox Nodes (2 R720Xds and 1 crappy Atom server) hosting Zoneminder, Zabbix, FreeIPA, Uptime-Kuma, Technitium DNS, FreeRADIUS, and much more stuff for software development, etc. Also running Nextcloud and Wireguard on a VPS.

Used to be a big lurker on Reddit, but I want to be more involved here. I'm loving Lemmy being open source and decentralized.

A few things I haven't seen in the comments which I'm really happy with are:

Vikunja
Scrutiny
Kimai

Other things which were mentioned already:

Searx-ng
Gitea
Paperless-ngx
Calibre-web
Matrix (synapse)
Nextcloud
Jellyfin
Uptime Kuma
Mealie
FreshRSS
Vaultwarden
Photoprism

All running in docker containers behind a caddy proxy.

I host a variety of stuff (Plex and GitLab being the most-used).

As a reminder, make sure you've got a backup plan. The PC I have my stuff hosted on just died (cause unknown), so my stuff is offline until I have time to fix it.

Everything is in Docker so in principle it's pretty easy to recover, but that box is the only not-laptop I've got and I don't have the hardware on hand to bring up the drives on anything else, so stuff is going to be down for a bit. Not a big deal, all the important stuff is backed up elsewhere, but my media library is annoyingly inaccessible for a few days.

I use a combination of a MacMini Oracle cloud, probably not best long term solution but it's free (while it lasts).

Stuff that runs on Oracle:

caddy proxy (mostly used for Mac reverse proxy)
couch db (obsidian live sync plugin)

Stuff on Mac:

blue bubbles (iMessage relay for Android)
Plex (for photo backup)

Aside from that not much else 😊

Hi

I started self hosting 3 years ago when I got wind of tailscale. I've always cared about privacy and building things so that was great.

My infrastructure consists of two machines.

One - my personal and work server A deskmini i3 12th gen

256GB Boot drive 4TB NVME data drive

-photoprism -syncthing -nextcloud -Firefox+VPN -archivebox

Two - my media server that I let 6ish other people access - PC tower i3 12th gen

512GB Boot and docker config file drive 4*4TB HDD mergerfs for raw data

-jellyfin -*arr suite -gluetun VPN -audiobookshelf (also for auto downloading podcasts) -calibre-web

Do you have some massive server home or using VPS/VDS?

I know it's been 2 months but I just stumbled upon your question.

Here's what my massive home server looks like. : )
- This is so awesome. I know this is an old post, but I am just getting started. You're inspiring me!

Just reset my R620 running proxmox and have Cloudflare tunnel setup for some of my non-media streams

gitlab
NPM
*arr instances

And then using NPM to proxy everything over https including jellyfin to local IPs

3 Proxmox nodes 2 SFF Dell Optiplex (i5 with 32gb RAM) 1 Nuc (i7 with 64gb RAM)

1 Truenas host (old gaming PC i5 with 64gb RAM and 8TB ZFS pool

pfSense appliance for firewall

Pi-Hole
Vaultwarden
Immich
Paperless-ngx
InfluxDB + Grafana
Ansible
Nextcloud
Wireguard
UptimeKuma
Homeassiatant
Homepage
Octoprint

@devve
Same things as everyone else except:

My ISP uses CNAT so I can't just open ports or dynamic DNS. My solution is a tiny VPS running nginx as a reverse proxy connecting back to my home server using tailscale. Tailscale was super easy but the reverse proxy was not trivial!

Also host my own IMAP server collecting all my email using getmail. Keeps all my messages on my home machine but much easier to manage than a fully fledged email server.

Special mention to: ntfy, Monica and Pairdrop!

I got

A RAID NAS for general
A Firefly-iii instance for expense analysis and stuff
And MQTT broker for my ESP32 projects
A webdav server for calendar and address book syncing and general file syncing for some things like joplin

There are probably other things that I don't remember right now.

In terms of hardware I got a 6 core AMD 5600X machine with a 5700XT GPU and 16GB of ram for almost all my services and personal use.

I also have an AMD 3600 machine with 3x8TB harddrives for network storage.

Hi, could you tell me the kinds of IoT projects you dabble in? I have always wanted to use the ESP32 and other microcontrollers and build something useful but I can't really find any ideas/lack technical expertise. Would be great to know what you're working on/the projects you have built and what they are used for.

Thanks!
- There's an existing project made by a youtuber called Dave Plummer. He made a project that controls a strip light using the FastLED library where he made several effects here. You can fork or straight up copy his project. There is also the MQTT library where you can communicate withyoutr ESP32 in a very simple and mature protocol so you can do some crazy things there, like controlling a solid state relay for lights or something.

Ohh, I'd love to share.

Running most services as docker/ kubernetes containers.

Currently running Plex (previously Jellyfin, maybe will switch back) for media streaming.

Grocy for food/task/family organisation (grocery list and so forth)

Piehole for home ad-blocker and proxy 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

I've been working on expanding my homelab recently. I have a physical box at home serving as an LXC host along with a few VPSes. I'm now up to:

Some static web sites
Nextcloud
Jellyfin
Forgejo
NTFY
A reverse proxy
An IRC server
A Gemini server
A VPN
DNS servers

I think I read an old blog post once that said "Servers tend to multiply like rabbits" and it's 100% true.

I self-host:

A Matrix homeserver
A Pleroma instance (basically Mastadon but different implementation)
Tiny-Tiny-RSS
Nextcloud
Gitea
Headscale
Jellyfin
Wikijs

I rent a low-budget dedicated server from a data center - it only has about 4 cores and 8GB of RAM, but that's more than enough for my needs. Most importantly it has 2TB of hard drive space (for Nextcloud & Jellyfin) which is why I upgraded from my prior VPS.

Nextcloud, gitea, matrix, jellyfin, WordPress and i2p

NAS with Samba and SSHFS
Multilayer Knot DNS servers
Many nginx reverse proxies and selfmade software

Every now and then I think about selfhosting eMail, but then I remember the horrors of spam '^^

First post on Lemmy in general. It's great to see this community with a decently healthy population! I guess it's a natural fit for the Fediverse :)

My current hosted situation...

3rd gen NUC (!) with 16GB hosting the lion's share of low resource services:

portainer
authentik
overseerr
sabnzbd
prowlarr
audiobookshelf
umurmur
miniflux
wallabag
sonarr
2x radarr
lidarr
rsyncd
wireguard (failover)
pihole (failover)

9th gen Intel / 64GB host running a handful of heavier servers:

4x minecraft + velocity
valheim
massive decks
plex
tautulli
immich

RPI 4, 8GB running some network / monitoring / incidental services:

prometheus
grafana
wireguard (primary)
pihole (primary)
nginx proxy manager
vaultwarden
organizr

80TB Synology running some storage services:

kopia
syncthing

This list doesn't include all the node exporters and underpinning services for prometheus / grafana to function, or sidecar containers like minecraft backup and such, since that's not terribly interesting stuff - but I remain perennially interested in the elegant solutions others have come up for maximum efficiency in security and redundancy without making selfhosting a second dayjob. I'm always happy to discuss the details of those things and accept constructive (keyword) advice - providing the same.

My singular use case for NextCloud was replaced this year with a combination of Immich and Syncthing, and I could not be happier for that decision.

I also maintain a fairly nondescript (as in, cosmetically it's "just another living area") but technically built-out) retrogaming den built around a MiSTer and a Wii, which is hosted, in a manner of speaking. :)

All container hosts are running docker-ce on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and every end user machine in my house runs Linux, typically Manjaro but not exclusively. This includes those used for gaming and everything else by me and school by my grade school children. There are zero Windows or Apple devices available anywhere other than a single Win10 VM that gets spun up a couple times a year for random reasons.

I run everything I can out of containers. It makes remembering all the changes I made easy, and reverting them even easier. My hardware is a generic PC in my closet.

I'm running:

Jelly Fin
Transmission Torrent
Next Cloud (I have mounted Jellyfin and Torrent's volumes within the Next Cloud instance so I can access them from there, very convenient)
Home Assistant
Wire Guard
A printer daemon so my old printer from 2008 can do wifi printing (I refuse to upgrade)
A scanner daemon so I can wifi scan too (scanservjs)
A tool to expose my UPS as a battery Home Assistant can monitor
Traefik (big pain but great payoff)
Watch Tower to keep the public facing stuff automatically updated
Automatic Ripping Machine which... is almost good but I'm generally disappointed with. It's still worth using though.
ESPHome which lets me make my own smart home devices with ESP family microcontrollers. I've made my own smart window blinds and smartified an air conditioner.
Minecraft/Factorio depending on the mood of my friends and I.

But that's not all, I also installed OpenWRT on my router, more out of necessity because it didn't have features my ISP required. That's running:

... actually everything else about it is pretty standard.

I have a Raspberry Pi running OctoPrint for a 3D printer in the corner. I would have preferred to have ran that on my server to save on power and save a Raspberry Pi but I don't have a long enough USB cable.

I run one main hypervisor with a bunch of different Ubuntu server VMs that I spin up as I mess with different things. I'm old-school so I am not a fan of cloud computing or even docker. Services I host that I use the most are NAS (samba), plex, pi-hole, dokuwiki (huge documentation nerd), and zoneminder which is a great open-source security cam software.

Hello :)

I'm not really a "selfhoster" but I thought I'd present myself anyway since you asked :D

I do a little bit of it but only for personal use, I don't have the skills to selfhost for public use.

I have Gitea, Planka, Dokuwiki, Apache+MariaDB, and self-compiled World of Warcraft server emulators (TrinityCore, CMangos and AzerothCore).

Hey guys, I really need to take a lemmy.

Eh... just your typical docker pihole + 2x unbound setup.

Humaara Artha , which means my material.

I haven't self-hosted yet, but I'm working on it. Lemmy doesn't really have any conservative instances, and I don't want lemmy to become some huge echo chamber. And not just poltical-wise, I feel that more alt points of view should be welcomed.

Welcome to !selfhosted@lemmy.world - What do you selfhost?

1u homebrew server

Tower server running Freebsd
