Selfhosted

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.

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).

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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)!

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

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.

I host a nextcloud sever (snap) and a minecraft server on a laptop I no longer use

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.

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 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.

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

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
• Woodpecker
• 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 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!

Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I've seen in this thread:

[Thread #292 for this sub, first seen 21st Nov 2023, 13:45] [FAQ] [Full list] [Contact] [Source code]

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

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.

Raspberry 4 No.1 (HassOS)

• Home Assistant - smart home management
• HA extension Vaultwarden

Raspberry 4 No.2 (Ubuntu LTS)

• Pi-Hole - network ad filter
• Navidrome - music library
• Beets - music tagging
• Lidarr/Deluge/Hydra/Jackett - music collection, downloading
• Baikal - CalDAV & CardDAV
• Nginx - Reverse-proxy
• Filebrowser
• Vaultwarden - Backup of HA extension
• Raneto - Knowledge base
• Pyload - Download manager

Fileserver custom built (Ubuntu LTS, local only):

• Sonarr - Series management
• PostgreSQL - Data management for Kodi/MPD
• Snapserver
• Mopidy

Raspberry 4 No.3 (Raspian, local only)

• Kodi

All services dockerized but Kodi.

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