Selfhosted

I just started months ago, but I have a yunohost server ona raspberry with nextcloud and forgejo on it :)

I have been self hosting things for over 15 years. I now host on 7 computers. I'm proud of the fact that I stay under 100W idle, including 3 Omada WLAN APs and network technology (all via PoE and all is on a UPS). For most of the services i normally used the helper scripts. i'm currently in the process of moving everything to komodo. there should be an lxc for each service or service group, komodo pulls the compose files from gitea and deploys everything.

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, letsencrypt)
  • 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

Proxmox on a self-built rackserver (Will be building a second one for a proxmox cluster):

• Pi-Hole (primary)
• Home Assistant
• 2 Docker Hosts (One for Eval, one for Prod)

Raspberry Pi Zero for Pi-Hole (secondary)

On my Docker Host (All in docker-compose):

• Heimdall (Personal Dashboard)
• Portainer (Docker GUI)
• baikal (CAL & CADdav)
• vaultwarden (Password Manager)
• bookstack (Documentation, kinda abandoned because im lazy)
• changedetection(.)io (Monitoring Websites for Changes, useful for changelogs or price monitoring)
• cloudflare-ddns (DDNS because dynamic IP Adresses...)
• Grafana & InfluxDB (Dashboard and Database for Stats)
• linkding (Bookmarks aka "Have to read someday")
• mealie (Reciepe manager)
• neko (Watch2gether but in selfhosted and more capable imo)
• nginx proxy manager (Reverse Proxy with GUI)
• paperless-ngx (Document manager with OCR)
• semaphore ui (Ansible GUI with sheduled tasks)
• Uptime Kuma (Status Monitoring)
• watchtower (Automatic updates of my docker containers because im lazy)

A Synology DS220+ for local Storage

A 5TB Hetzner Storage Box for Backups (encrypted)

A Rootserver for Games and some testing in the wild (Currently Windows, will be switched to ubuntu)

Hetzner Cloud Server with mailcow on it

I will go first 😌

I selfhost codimd, vaultwarden, kuma, immich, home assistant, trilium, hugo, gotify, wakapi and umami. I have one VPS and one custom built NAS at home.

I read you 👀🦎

I have a rented server with 8 Xeon E3-1246 and 64GB at Hetzner where I host:

• Vaultwarden
• Gitlab (git repo, container registry, static blog (pages with Hugo))
• Drawio (Diagrams)
• Kroki (for Gitlab)
• Gitlab runner
• FreshRSS
• Nextcloud
• Redis
• Headscale (Tailscale server)
• Keycloak
• MariaDB
• PostgreSQL
• Plex
• Privacybin
• Wallabag
• Hedgedoc

It's all behind a Traefik instance handling Let's Encrypt and using the Docker socket to route traffic based on labels in docker-compose.yml. Behind these I also run k3s and from time to time some VMs. I also have a 1TB storage pod at Hetzner where I use restic to back everything up from this instance as well as from my home system and laptops.

(I'll add links / descriptions later)

I host the following fediverse stuff:

• Lemmy (you're looking at it)
• Mastodon (3 instances)
• Calckey oh sorry, now FireFish
• Pixelfed
• Misskey
• Writefreely
• Funkwhale
• Akkoma (2 instances)
• Peertube

And these are other things I host:

• Kimai2
• Matrix/Synapse
• Silver Bullet
• XWiki (3 instances)
• Cryptpad (2 instances)
• Gitea
• Grafana
• Hedgedoc
• Minecraft
• Nextcloud
• Nginx Proxy Manager
• Paperless-ngx
• TheLounge
• Vaultwarden
• Zabbix
• Zammad

Been self hosting for over a decade at this point. Mix of custom built servers and surplus hardware over the years.

To name a few of my daily servers.

• home assistant
• paperless-ng
• jellyfin
• nextcloud
• blue iris
• audiobook shelf

With docker being so easy I have kind of lost track how much stuff i am hosting. A problem i never thought i would have :)

Hosting a whole bunch of stuff for myself, the family and also the public. For the larger family I'm hosting eMail but using a managed service offering for that (Hetzner). Too old to run my own IMAP/SMTP infrastructure ;)

For a few private societies I'm hosting:

• Mattermost
• NextCloud
• WordPress https://www.uckermark-blog.de/

For the public I host:

• Mastodon at https://hub.uckermark.social
• Mastodon at https://tetrax.de/
• BookWyrm at https://books.mxhdr.net/
• Mobilizon at https://termine.uckermark.social/
• MatrixChat at https://matrix.mxhdr.net
• Element WebUI for Matrix at https://element-web.explain-it.org/

Mostly formyself, but not restricted I'm hosting:

• Pixelfed
• LinkDing for Bookmarks
• Excalidraw
• Grafana
• OverLeaf
• StandardNotes Server
• PiHole
• GitTea
• FreshRSS
• Minio S3-kompatible Object Storage as Backend for Mastodon & Pixelfed (on an old Dell Optiplex at home over my DSL Line)
• GoToSocial Fediverse Client (On a RaspberryPi at home)
• PeerTube for public projects (on the same old Dell OptiPlex)
• PeerTube as private Video Streaming platform (on a Dell Precision 3500 tower)

Most services run in Docker Containers on some VPS at Hetzner. Some stuff runs in Docker Containers on old spare hardware at home.

• jellyfin and Plex (in the process of migrating)
• radarr/sonarr
• jackett and deluge
• nextcloud

I've had new hardware in the basement now for a while, going to slap it together and build a k8s cluster on top of rancher/harvester

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!

• Pihole

• Sonarr

• Radarr

• Lidarr

• Notifiarr

• Sabzbd

• Nicotine+

• Kodi

• Plex

• Airsonic

• Nextcloud

• Joplin

• qbittorrent

Currently split between VMs and physicals. I'm refactoring these ,with plans to build out and migrate much of it to a minipc proxmox cluster.

Adding:

• proxmox

• podman/portainer

• unbound

• ngnx proxy mgr

• Solid server

• homepage

• matrix

• searxng

• some sort of mail stack, TBD

Greetings!

Not really self hosting a lot right now, but I've been spending a lot of time reengineering my network and fixing some things. Recently retired my loud and power-hungry pfsense server, replacing it with a Mikrotik rb5009, so setting that up has been a steep learning curve.

Most things are running on my Synology DS920+, except for a few raspberry pis.

• Jellyfin (docker)
• Kavita (docker)
• Home Assistant (pi4)
• Paperless-ngx (docker)
• ~~PiHole (pi zero)~~ currently broken
• Unifi controller (docker)
• Grafana (home assistant)
• InfluxDB (docker)
• LibreNMS (VM)

Host all the things!

Wordpress, SMTP/IMAP, tor, bittorrent, Nextcloud, Plex, NTP, photo galleries, DoT...

I even started hosting the website for my local Italian restaurant and they haven't even realised it yet.

I have a used Lenovo Thinkcentre mini with an i3-7100T and 16gb RAM. I have Ubuntu server LTS installed on it and I run everything in docker containers.

I host:

• jellyfin server for my friends and family
• qbittorrent to download for the JF server(behind a VPN)
• Jellyseerr for requests
• Jackett, Sonarr, and Radarr for downloads
• a Minecraft server

i don't self-host yet, but i have an old pc in my house, i just need to bring it with me to colege, so i can learn and start self-hosting

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.

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.

Hardware:

Memory:
  System RAM: total: 8 GiB available: 7.73 GiB used: 4.46 GiB (57.7%)
  Report: arrays: 1 slots: 4 modules: 2 type: DDR3
CPU:
  Info: 6-core model: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T bits: 64 type: MCP cache: L2: 3 MiB
Graphics:
  Device-1: NVIDIA GP107 [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti] driver: nvidia v: 535.98

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!

I've got a couple VPSes, hosting

• Mailcow, because email is identity.
• Asterisk, because phone #s are also identity.
• Matrix-Synapse, for personal messaging even though XMPP is probably better.
• ttrss, even though it's junk software with a jerk developer.
• A bunch of self-developed web apps

Self hosting email is obnoxious, but it's also one of the only remnants of the traditional distributed internet that's still broadly accepted.

home assistant, freshrss (and a few related services such as rss-bridge), nitter and piped. I tried to host libregrammar, but ran out of memory.

My "Home Lab" loosely put, is an amalgamation of this:

Docker and Docker Compose installed on Ubuntu on a Dell PowerEdge 530 and on that docker host I have: -Portainer

-Nginx Proxy Manager

-Cloudflare Dynamic DNS

-Chromium

-Dozzle

-Gluetun

-Homarr

-Jellyfin

-Kanboard

-Komga

-Radarr

-Lidarr

-Sonarr

-Navodrome

-netbooyxyz (work in progress)

-Prowlarr

-qBittorrent

-Pairdrop

-Resilio-Sync

-Searxng

-Siganl CLI container for alerts

-Uptime Kuma

-VSCode

-WikiJS

-Watchtower

On one of my Pi's:

-Pihole

-Pialert

-fail2ban

-PIVPN

-Unbound

The weakest part of my setup arguably is between my storage "solution" and my networking setup.

Storage is just a bunch of large drives in the Dell. Next upgrade is a new router solution, but still use my current router for a wireless access point strictly for IOT and putting my other devices on separate VLANs.

I was thinking about getting a Nextcloud going, but not sure I want to as of right now.

I run a bunch of bots, some databases plus

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

I joined to learn, still not self-hosting anything, but I intend to use an 11yo Compaq laptop (i5, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD) as a server while I'm still practicing. I intend to self-host a lemmy instance and a nextcloud server.

Thanks for everything you guys have been sharing I've already got some good leads, gonna try out YunoHost for starters

Just testing from selfhosted instance!

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

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)

Jellyfin Nextcloud Homeassistant Mattermost Gitlab Visions of Chaos Oobabooga Automatic1111

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.

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

• HomeAssistant
• Frigate NVR
• PiHole
• Wireguard VPN

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 800W solar panel and some home automatization at home. Therefor, I use MQTT & NodeRED.

• Adguard
• Authelia (authentication for my services)
• Dashy (I've become lazy collecting my own bookmarks)
• Gotify (receive notifications on my mobile from NodeRED)
• Grafana
• Influxdb
• Jellyfin
• Mariadb
• Nextcloud
• NodeRED
• phpMyAdmin
• Portainer
• Remmina
• sshwifty
• Swag (Nginx and more)
• ubooquity (ebooks)
• Wallabag (Bookmark collection)
• Wordpress (want to try)

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
