Selfhosted

I dockerize everything, but services like media streaming, content downloading, but my favourite part is the minecraft server for my friends and I. It’s fun to write your own custom plugins and scripts and things to use with it which I find incredibly rewarding.

Oh boy here I go:

Hardware: Ryzen 7900X, 128GB Ram, 2x12TB HDD, 2x2TB SSD

What I'm running:

• Space Engineers Server
• Minecraft Server
• Chevereto
• Mastodon
• Jellyfin
• PeerTube
• Kavita
• Calibre Web
• Vaultwarden
• Nextcloud
• Gitlab
• Navidrome
• Lemmy
• Mailcow

I'm actually not that into actual self-hosting (it feels too close to my day job). But i love the idea of it, and actually do host my own RSS Reader: It's selfoss (PHP + SQLite, so, very simple) and i have been using ever since google reader shut down. It runs on my uberspace.de instance.

All the things! I've got a hybrid VMware cluster (two nodes at home and one in a DC) with a bunch of VMs for stuff like Plex, Plesk, Gitlab, Lemmy, Stable Diffusion, etc. also running a 5-node Rancher k8s cluster.

Some of my public services do actually run from home but are routed through ZeroTier to my Nginx Proxy Manager appliance.

Pretty much everything is running RHEL8 or CoreOS after a recent migration. Veeam for backups (two community instances since I'm too cheap to pay for licensing for personal stuff).

Edit:

Unraid 114TB usable, 2TB NVMe cache

• Nextcloud
• *arr UI's
• Pihole
• YT-DL
• Satisfactory server
• Fivem server

Game/AI Rig (i7-13900k, 128gb ddr5, 6700xt, 12tb ssd/nvme)

• Plex
• Minecraft server (big ass custom pack)
• Stable Diffusion

Home servers (Poweredge R410, old but powerful)

• *arr downloader (routed through PIA with kill switch)
• Ansible Tower

• Veeam backups
• Handful of Red Hat dev/test VMs
• 1x Rancher controller
• 2x Rancher workers

Mac Mini's

• 1x Rancher controller
• 2x Rancher workers

Desktop (Ryzen 7, 3090ti, 128gb ddr4, too many ssds/nvme's)

• Another Plex server, same content
• Stable Diffusion
• oobagooba text-generation-webui for LLMs

Not sure this one counts but...

OVH Game server (Ryzen 7, 64gb ddr4, 2tb nvme) [not self hosted]

• Lemmy.tf
• Plesk (web/DNS/DBs mostly)
• Teleport (SSH/RDP tunnel)
• Nginx Proxy Manager
• Gitlab

At home on multiple Pis: OpenMediaVault HomeAssistant Raspbee (Zigbee module) Unifi controller

Server 1 (Ubuntu): Wireguard

Server 2 (Ubuntu): Nextcloud Trillium Gitea Vaultwarden Calibre Web Vikunja Photoprism Paperless

All services only run on the Wireguard interface.

And I am looking into some billing tools for my side-gig.

At home:

• HomeAssistant OS in a Raspberry PI. Runs all the lights, curtains, heating, air-conditioning and media at home. (Linux)
• Hifiberry with a good DAC connected to it, runs mpv, airplay and chromecast audio. (RPI, Linux)
• TrueNAS together with over 40 terabytes of space (FreeBSD)
• Plex and Plexamp for music (FreeBSD)
• OPNsense router runs the whole home network (FreeBSD)
• A private git server for stuff I don't want to push to a public server (FreeBSD)
• Jellyfin server for movies and television (FreeBSD), client on an NVIDIA Shield (Android)
• Unifi controller to handle the home WiFi (FreeBSD)

Remote:

• Akkoma for Twitter-like communication on the Fediverse (Linux)
• Lemmy to talk with y'all in here (Linux)
• PostgreSQL as the central database for all my remote services (Linux)
• Elasticsearch for searching the Fediverse (Linux)
• SearXNG as my private search engine (Linux)

I've been running Arch Linux on a Gigabyte Brix with two USB HDDs for... years now. At least 8. On and off, there were several services, but mostly, this device is meant to host

• NFS and SMB file shares
• syncthing, because I can't get my Macbook to use the network shares in a performant way
• plex media server
• nginx with mariadb for a privately hosted database of a German TV show (Tatort) and also a self-made expense tracker
• paperless-ngx for electronic document management
• traefik as a reverse proxy
• heimdall to remind me what's there :)
• a couple statically generated web sites
• changedetection.io to check some websites for changes
• watchtower to at least notify me when new docker images are available
• portainer to have kind of a dashboard for all services
• youtube-dl-material
• dokuwiki as a second brain

Since Arch Linux is rolling, it sometimes simply breaks after an update. But since the services have gotten more critical for me over time (especially plex :) ) I plan on putting some of the services to a host in the cloud behind a WireGuard VPN. Also, the Brix should be re-installed with Ubuntu or Debian some day.

I've got a Raspberry Pi running Portainer on DietPi OS hosting a Discord bot, ACME certificate manager, reverse proxy; a second DietPi pi hosting Sonarr and Radarr and an automatic ripping machine; a pi NAS ruining open media vault; and my Linux gaming system also has Portainer running Jellyfin.

Currently a new instance of Lemmy, other than that I have a Synology NAS where I host:

• Plex
• Synology Drive (alternative to Dropbox etc.)
• Synology Office (alternative to Google Docs)
• VPN server

There's also docker where I host:

• Gitlab
• AdGuard Home

Home server is currently running;

• Firefly III (accounting software for me and the wife)
• Deemix (I can scrape all the flacs I want)
• Droopy (Fileshare (Deemix downloads save to it))
• Portainer (Docker web client)
• Firefox (Chat-GBT has blocked my VPN so I run Firefox from the server bypassing the VPN)

All the above are running in Docker.

On the to-do list;

• wiki.js ( This is a demo for work, hopefully get the go ahead to move all IT documentation away from doc and folder)
• Snip-IT (Again demo for work, so we can move away from an excel file)

Minecraft server

• consul

containers on nomad:

• gitea
• nodered
• traefik

Stand alone hardware:

• technitium dns server x2
• home assistant

I've got a Nextcloud instance that I've run for a few years. Love it. At home I have an Odroid H3+ with 64GB of ram running Openmediavault. Got about a dozen containers running on that. I need to play with it more and use that ram. I did try to get Boinc running on it but it, sadly, kept shutting down. I'll have to find a another way to contribute to science.

I've got some Dell 2U I got from work.

Currently running Proxmox for a hypervisor.

• OPNsense - Main Gateway,Firewall,etc. Also Reverse Proxy

• UnFi Controller for AP

• OMV as my NAS which also hosts an emby container to keep it close to the data.

• Wireguard VPN

• Mumble Music Bot

• Game servers.

• OMV is set up with SnapRAID and mergerfs.

• EmbyContainer just mounts the localdrives.

• Mumble server is on a VPS which also handles the domain and email I use as well.

• Basically whatever my group of friends is playing

I would like to upgrade the server for 10gbit. My ISP has 3000/3000 fibre I could get.

automatic youtube downloader using PubSubHubbub to get notified of new videos via flask app behind apache reverse proxy. running on a pi3b.

Plex, Sonarr/Radarr, Ombi, Home Assistant, Komga, Calibre-Web, Valheim. Everything is on a Debian machine I built recently, except HA which is on an O-Droid (I just copied the hardware from HA Blue and ordered the parts from Ameridroid).

Currently running on an old HP Prodesk G2 with Debian 11:

• Actual Budget : personal finance & budgeting
• Dashy : dashboard
• Jupyter : web-based use of jupyter notebooks for data analysis
• Photoprism : photo library
  • I use FolderSync on mine and my wife's phones to backup photos to photoprism nightly via WebDAV
• mariadb : metadata storage for photoprism
• Pihole : for ad blocking on the network
• Traefik : proxies access to all services

Plus grafana and prometheus for monitoring, although I haven't fully configured them so they're not terribly useful at the moment.

All are running as rootless docker containers. I've considered switching back to normal rooted containers, since there are some oddities with file permissions and networking (e.g., pihole only sees one client IP address).

All data is backed up to BackBlaze B2 via restic.

36 TB server:

• Nextcloud (a little heavier than I'd like considering something that's just filesharing)
• Jellyfin
• Audiobookshelf
• Kavita
• Authentik
• N.eko with protection via authentik (rabbit clone so I can watch things with friends even if it's not on jellyfin)
• Homepage so I can remember everything -_-

Raspberry pi:

• Adguard home, which router pushes all traffic dns through
• Mopidy - hooked the pi to my speakers, can start playing via web interface. Don't love it, but it's working.

I am running Mealie (recipe management site) and pi hole (network ad blocker) on an old MacBook Pro (2012?) loaded with Ubuntu server. Also have Plex media server running on my main computer (Pop OS)

A full setup around managing and download multimedia content

• Jellyfin for playing everywhere
• Sonarr and Radarr for automatically renaming and sorting
• Prowlarr and QBittorrent for downloading
• Filebrowser as a kind of light-weight cloud
• Caddy docker proxy for handling every service a subdomain
• And a bunch of other tools for sysadmin tasks

• plex (on its way out) (media)

• jellyfin (not yet migrated across) (media)

• vault warden (password manager)

• nextcloud (photo storage, secondary to one drive)

• home assistant (smart home hub controller thing) vault warden is actually hosted in a container in home assistant.

• nginx pm (proxy manager)

• octoprint also sits on the server (3d print server)

all run under proxmox in a variety of containers and vms. hardware is a ryzen 5 something mini PC from aliexpress with 32gb ram, 2 * 1tb nvme hdd in zfs raid for vms. It's fast, and silent, and cheap to run.

on an old hp n40l microserver I run unraid with a deluge container for torrents. the unraid hosts the storage for plex/jellyfin/nextcloud.

am amazed at the stability of it all. it just works!

Im hosting the following services on a small cloud VM running k3s:

• teamspeak3 + mariadb
• whoogle search

• home assistant
• nextcloud
• plex
• jellyfin
• AdGuard-WireGuard-Unbound-DNScrypt One of my faves.. for recursive dns/ad blocking/ private(doh dot odoh) dns

I have a Proxmox on and old laptop with Nextcloud, Etherpad, OpenmediaVault and some random test. I have also a Raspberry Pi2 with Dashy and HomeAssistant

I have DietPi running on an RPi 4 with 4GB RAM.

Everything here is hosted in docker containers:

• Portainer (docker management)
• Nginx Proxy Manager (for reverse proxy)
• Nextcloud (file storage + calendar)
• Kanboard (task management + kanban board)
• Homepage
• Transmission (behind VPN with Flood web frontend)
• Jellyfin media server
• A Discord bot for my server
• Watchman, my RSS feed to Kindle setup (https://github.com/andrwcnln/watchman)

I've probably forgotten some things but that's the main bulk of it. Can't recommend DietPi enough if you are looking for a super lightweight OS for you Pi server, has been perfect for me so far. Here are some things I am looking to host in the future too:

• ntfy (for push notifications)
• Apache server for my websites
• Pi-hole
• Plausible (a replacement for Google analytics for websites)
• Vaultwarden

These days I just got a plex server and a project zomboid server running.

I have a Jellyfin server, which has been absolutely amazing. It's accesible remotely via my domain, too. So my whole family and some friends can watch stuff / listen to music through it. Super happy with it.

I also have a Minecraft server. We don't use it much, but it's always there, and it's not going away. Which is something I've always wanted since I first put up an MC server a decade ago.

Besides that, my website and a bunch of personal scripts are all hosted from home :)

Currently just running an SMB share and paperless on my Turing Pi v2, which only has one 8gb Pi at the moment. Hoping to get more Pis and run more things soon.

Anyone else using n8n?

• Home Assistant (running on RPi, proxied to VPS)
• Zigbee2MQTT (running on RPi)
• NodeRed (running on RPi)
• Joplin (VPS, opensource note taking app)
• Minecraft modded modpack (VPS, statech 1.0.3) Probably a couple more I'm forgetting.

This is all in docker containers behind a reverse proxy using Traefik. Im happy with the setup as it's really versatile and so far hasn't failed me. Biggest upgrade I've done is replacing the SD card of the RPi with an SSD
