Selfhosted

I had a small X.25 network as combination coffee-table and space-heater at one point; this was before most homes had internet. It almost cost me a divorce.

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.

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!

I run a bunch of bots, some databases plus

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

Jellyfin Nextcloud Homeassistant Mattermost Gitlab Visions of Chaos Oobabooga Automatic1111

HARDWARE:

• Dual Xeon E5-2640v3
• Nvidia Quadro P2000 GPU
• 128Gb DDR4 ECC Memory
• 4 x 4tb WD Red plus drives in raidz2 for bulk network storage
• 2 x 500gb WD Red SSD, mirrored for fast network storage
• 2 x 1tb Samsung EVO 870 SSD, mirrored for vms
• 1 x 2tb WD Purple Surveillance Drive
• 1 x 8tb Seagate Barracuda Media Drive

PROXMOX:

• Nginx
• Nextcloud
• Truenas with Backblaze B2 backup
• 2 x WordPress sites
• Home Assistant
• Grafana
• Mosquito MQTT
• Tailscale VPN
• ESPHome
• 3D print server (Repetier Pro) with webcam feeds
• Plex
• Blue Iris NVR
• Codeproject.ai (object detection)
• Transmission with PIA VPN
• Backblaze personal backup client for media

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.

Using LXD:

• ddclient
• Jellyfin (2)
• Minecraft (proxy + 4 servers)
• Satisfactory server
• V Rising
• Gitea vcs
• wordpress
• rtorrent
• other web servers

Using rootless Podman + Systemd service:

• Vaultwarden
• Linkding
• Traefik
• Immich photo backup
• Nextcloud (though I hate it, probably will stop)
• Grafana
• Prometheus
• Prowlarr/Radarr/Sonarr/Lidarr/Bazarr/Recyclarr
• Rtorrent + Flood
• Jellyseerr
• Navidrome (Subsonic server)
• Miniflux (RSS)
• Woodpecker (CI integration for Gitea)
• Tubearchivist (yt-dl)
• wg-easy (wireguard)
• searxng

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).

+ router running fresh tomato :)

Also mailcow for email, on a VPS, although I need to switch to a new provider, having difficulty with delivery using Linode and OVHCloud.

Everything except Node-exporter running in containers on a single Ubuntu machine. i5-6500T, 16gb RAM & 1TB.

Media Stack

• JellyFin
• Sonarr
• Radarr
• Calibre
• Calibre-Web

IT Stack

• FreshRSS
• IT-Tools
• Prometheus
• Grafanna
• Node-Exporter
• Watchtower

Available from internet:

• jellyfin
• jellyseerr
• immich
• paperless-ngx
• owncloud ocis
• traefik
• homarr

Available only from local:

• the *arr stack
• qbittorrent
• jackett
• watchtower
• apprise
• netdata (kinda new, still have to fully understand how it works)
• portainer
• speedtest-tracker
• homepage

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!

• 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.

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.

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

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.

A Lack Rack with VMWare and TrueNAS servers, pfsense, Jellyfin, Zoneminder, web/email, Nextcloud, Minecraft, LineageOS build machine, .....other stuff

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!

A cobbled together Ryzen 2400g with 16GB of ram. Open Media Vault/Docker: Plex Nextcloud stack with dns refresh/ssl/nginx Sonarr/transmission stack with VPN PiHole Octoprint

Occasionally I run a game server or two when the need comes up, mostly Valheim lately.

Ceph (rbd,s3) on 4 poweredges.

Nomad, Consul servers running in a 3 node raft on some ARM SBCs.

Nomad clients on 2 poweredges and 3 arm SBCs running:

• s3 CSI (media and large file storage is all on s3)
• rbd CSI (all the stateful jobs have rbd block devices)
• NATS cluster with Jetstream to enable MQTT support
• mosquito mqtt (had to run mosquito for mqtt v5)
• mosquito<->nats bridge (via benthos)
• nodered (just for easy Google home integration)
• zwavejs2mqtt
• zigbee2mqtt
• frigate (can only talk mqtt v5 so had to run mosquito just for this)
• grafana
• gotify
• gitea
• drone CI
• postgresql
• BitTorrent client
• ceph rgw s3 gateways
• NATS based home automation lambdas - I wrote these in go
• Adguard home
• traefik as main ingress
• Prometheus
• prom node exporter
• jellyfin
• jackett
• a program I wrote that manages torznab->acquisiton->s3 lifecycle
• a website
• wireguard servers

And that is just in the server room - I also have more like the 3d printer and CNC machine controllers etc.

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

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.

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.

Virtualized with libvirt:

• Nomad (3 nodes)
• Consul (3 nodes)
• Vault (3 nodes)
• Gitlab + CI
• Nextcloud
• Sonarr, radarr, bazarr, jackett, deluge
• Prometheus
• opensearch
• puppet
• powerdns (international authoritive main + replica), unbound (internal recursor), ntp (2 nodes)
• powerdns (public authoritive replica)
• haproxy (2 nodes)
• nfs, samba
• Seaweedfs (S3) (3 nodes)
• rsnapshot
• package repositories (deb, rpm - plain dirs/files served by apache, with some scripts to manage repo metadata)
• postgresql + patroni (2 nodes)
• container registry (to investigate replacing with zot)
• openldap, keycloak (2 nodes)
• unifi controller

In nomad:

• Grafana
• Vaultwarden
• Tandoor
• Matrix
• Puppetboard
• Prometheus exporters for various things

Offsite rpi @ parents

• Rsnapshot, samba

Rpi doing router duties, to be replaced with rb3011 when I finalize it's config in terraform

VPS:

• Powerdns (public authoritive primary), haproxy, postfix (secondary MX)
• Postfix (primary MX), dovecot, spamassassin, opendmarc, opendkim

Old laptop: k8s playground for learning

Short-term todo:

• Homeassistant

Public dns names have A records pointing to haproxy vps, which proxies to home over tunnel, and AAAA records pointing straight to home (I have static ipv6 prefix, but no static ipv4 address)

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

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

Can't ask too much off my little laptop, but here it is

• HomeAssistant
• Frigate NVR
• PiHole
• Wireguard VPN

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

1. Adguard: adblocking inside tailnet & for DNS rewrites
2. Barrage: Nice deluge UI
3. Beszel: Clean & simple server monitoring. I monitor two of my instances & the self hosted setup on this.
4. Beszel Agent: Agent for collecting data for Baszel
5. Deluge: Torrenting
6. Duplicati: Backups with a great UI
7. File Browser: for quick ops
8. Flowise AI: Great drag and drop LLM chat apps builder
9. Immich: The absolute best way to manage pictures
10. Jackett: For the arr stack
11. Jellyfin: Media streaming solution with apps on my phone, TV & laptops
12. 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
13. Radarr
14. Sonarr
15. Uptime Kuma: Uptime monitoring for everything
16. Wallos: Subscription management

Tipi is pretty awesome. If you haven't already, check it out!

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.

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.

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

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)

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

I host:

• docker-mailserver
• code-server
• Vaultwarden
• Flame Dashboard
• FreePad
• Gotify
• Nextcloud
• Baikal
• Mosquitto
• HomeAssistant
• Node-RED
• InfluxDB
• Grafana
• piHole, Cloudflare DNS over HTTPS client
• Uptime Kuma
• Nginx Proxy Manager
• wg-easy
• Shiori
• MeTube
• Sonarr, Radarr, Jackett, Unpackerr,...
• 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.

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

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

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
