Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

A simple question to this community, what are you self-hosting? It's probably fun to hear from each-other what services we are running.

Please mention at least the service (e.g. e-mail) and the software (e.g. postfix). Extra bonus points for also mentioning the OS and/or hardware (e.g. Linux Distribution, raspberry pi, etc) you are running on.

On 3 Rpis and a NAS around my home:

  • Nextcloud - Google replacement

  • Actual Budget - YNAB type server that's super simple and meets my needs

  • Apache web server - portal to my projects

  • PiHole - DNS pass/allow list

  • PiVPN - Allows me to connect to my home VPN when abroad

  • 2009Scape - A little RuneScape Private Server I turn on and off on my desktop when I'd like to afk at work

  • Docker - A couple docker instances - one on my test pi I use to roll out onto my "prod" servers

  • Backup server - 14TB backup with an offsite copy :D

  • Joplin - Note-taking app - barely a server connected through Nextcloud

  • Plex - Everyone knows about Plex - I'm thinking of switching to JellyFin

  • rtorrent - kinda old-school compared to the *arr programs but I enjoy manually downloading all my media :)

Hope I'm not forgetting any!

Does Actual offer a self-hosting option? I'd like to escape my Excel sheet of doom, but haven't found anything I can run in a container.

It does indeed! https://github.com/actualbudget/actual-server

Building from docker-compose is super straightforward. Generating the keys is the hardest bit of the ordeal but I have it locked into just my local network since it saves your most recent sync on your device.
