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.

Wayyy too much for my lil old PC server. Its pegged at 40% swap usage, that's after a RAM upgrade.

Alpine Linux running services in podman. Deployments use ansible.

Got a few disks fused together + snapraid redundancy.

All services go through Nginx, plus a couple static sites generated with hugo.

Authentik for single sign on everywhere I can.

Matrix: Synapse + mautrix WhatsApp, Signal bridges for private chats. A public Conduit server for big online chats. Element and Cinny clients, I can't pick a fave.

Nextcloud because I have to.

Jellyfin for movies, shows and music. The Arr suite for managing my media. Transmission openvpn container for getting Linux ISOs and other legal media.

Vaultwarden super light betwarden server - I love this.

Forgejo git server is fantastic.

Monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana.

Umami for web stats.

Pihole for filtered DNS.

A tiny minetest server for the LAN.

That's pretty much it. I love this thing.

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.

Home Assistant

Nextcloud

Veeam

Need to get a Bitwarden instance going.

I am running a Ryzen 5700x with 48GB of RAM. I use it as my always on desktop/gaming computer/server running Gentoo Linux. The few services I use are:

Pihole NFS (File sharing between my *nix computers) Netatalk (AFP File sharing between my PowerPC macs) Samba (Media sharing to an old laptop running LibreElec)

It's not a lot but it makes everything so much easier.

File storage, mainly. I have 2 NAS devices (one Synology I picked up in 2014, and an Unraid device I just built a couple months ago) - the former holds 13TB and the latter currently holds 35TB with plans to bring it to 100TB as I get money for more drives.

The Unraid system has a Youtube-dl instance running to auto-pull videos from the channels I follow, and I also run my Plex server from it. The Synology only has a Git server on it that I use to keep local copies of repos that I store on GitHub, along with personal projects that I'd rather not publish (even as private repos) in the cloud.

  • 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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

it's pretty cobbled together, but ive got a docker swarm that runs the following:

  • Portainer to allow for fairly easy CI/CD worflows with Gitlab
  • Plex Stack
    • Plex
    • Radarr
    • Sonarr
    • Jackett
    • qbittorrent
    • VPN
  • Deemix for downloading music
  • Authentik for SSO
  • AWX for my automation
  • Budibase for a local Go club I run
  • A discord bot setup with CI/CD for a friend
  • Foundry VTT
  • a gitlab runner for local CI jobs
  • An comic strip to RSS scraper I wrote
  • MongoDB for Budibase
  • Nextcloud
  • Onlyoffice server
  • PiHole
  • Shlink URL shortener
  • Traefik and Caddy for reverse proxies
  • Uptime Kuma for basic monitoring
  • Minecraft Server
  • Ark Server
  • Frigate NVR

On its own Pi4 I have Homeassistant

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)
  • Vaultwarden
  • ntfy
  • immich
  • AdGuard Home
  • Syncthing

Mostly running as docker containers on a custom built miniserver using Ubuntu 22.04 as the OS.

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

Basic stuff

  • Proxmox server
  • Plex server
  • Wireguard vpn
  • Bitwarden on docker
  • unifi controller as LVM
  • Docker
  • Portainer
  • Tiny Core linux as a script server on Pi-4
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Classic useless answer but nothing ATM 🙃. I've been travelling for a few months and won't be able to host anything til I get home mid July. However, I do have plans to host a website or two, maybe even a Bookwyrm, Lemmy or Mastodon instance.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Pi zero running pihole

unRAID server running

  • Plex
  • Sonarr
  • Radarr
  • Scrutiny
  • ArchiveTeam warrior
  • And much more

I only turn the unRAID server on when needed however. The summers here in Denmark is beginning to be unbearable, so I don't need any more heat in my apartment.

It's still in the works, but I'm planning on:

  • Nextcloud (file storage/calendar/office suite)
  • Actual (budgeting)
  • Home Assistant (IoT device hub)
  • Nginx-proxy-manager (reverse proxy)
  • Jellyfin (media)
  • Headscale, selfhosted version of Tailscale (Mesh VPN)
  • *arr stack (media fetching)
  • Immich (photos)
  • Pihole (DNS adblocking)
  • Vaultwarden (password manager)

It's definitely a lot of stuff, but I'm trying to reduce my reliance on cloud services. Really excited to get this stuff going.

  • 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!

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 :)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I have a jellyfin server on a pi4. I recently bought a dell micro pc, but haven't had the motivation to move the jellyfin server over to it yet.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I've been having a fuck of a time getting IIS to work properly as a Reverse Proxy but I'm hosting an Emby Media Server on a Windows 10 desktop and a Foundry VTT Server on a Windows 10 laptop

I'm sitting on a hand-me-down Intel server with a 24 core CPU, 96gb of RAM, and a combined 13.5TB of storage space.

Currently hosting:

Redundant pi-holes - DNS/Adblock

Plex - Streaming service 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

Uptime Kuma - uptime tracker

Cloudflare proxy - secured external access to my environment sans VPN. It's set up with session tokens and 2fa via email. I'd like to lock this down further but I'm using the free option right now.

Ubiquiti wireless controller - I also have a hand-me-down AP, and I'm using it to improve wireless signal in my house.

I'd love some recommendations for different things to host too. I don't think a Lemmy instance is in the cards for me ATM though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Mostly matrix client/server + bots, etherpad & mumble (until matrix can replace it on desktop, PTT-wise)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Dell Optiplex SFF ex office machine..

SearxNG Passbolt Nextcloud Airsonic Wordpress PrivateBin SHLink FreshRSS Gitea Shaarli

All subdomains on apache proxies.. its a bit of a mess though. Whenever it comes to update something I can never remember how I installed it. Theres a heady mix of script installs, deb installs, source installs. I've got Gitea ready to update but I have no idea what method I used to install it :')

Right now I am just running Jellyfin. I had been running AdGuard Home, TTRSS, and WordPress on a Yunohost server (in a VM on my Ubuntu 22.10 desktop PC), but it inexplicably ran out of space in /var, so I shut it down. I intent to try again, but this time with a personal Lemmy instance.
