Selfhosted

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.

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

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.

Got a proxmox node with a couple of vm's, mostly for hosting docker.

I'm considering switching proxmox for kubevirt, but I'd have to deploy all my container as either k8s deployments or create new vm for docker...

Been using prometheus at work lately and I want to create a push setup with thanos backend, but for now it's just an idea

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.

Pi-hole, Wireguard + 'a CDN client' on raspberry pi 4 with SSD
Ditched my Synology NAS, running an unRaid machine now:
i5-10400, 32 GiB (to much) Memory, 15.7 TB used of 60 TB

• VMs: homeassistant , macOS, Windows 10
• SWAG, Cloudflare DDNS, Arrrrrr dockers, Plex, ArchiveTeamWarrior, gokapi, qBittorrent, Resilio Sync, wikijs, mariaDB + whatever I find interesting to try out

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!

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 have a few things going on. I've been blogging some of my notes on how I'm getting some things going in Docker. But I only relatively recently started sharing my notes so there's not a ton yet. Hopefully there's something useful for someone here. https://magnus919.com/tags/selfhosting/

Pangolin!

A bunch (47 containers at present)... Won't list them here as its kind of redundant with what a lot of other people are running. My latest is Lemmy (lemmy.nine-hells.net).

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

I self-host in a rented server. I wrote about my adventures here: https://github.com/bruj0/ProxmoxIPv6

I got

• A RAID NAS for general
• A Firefly-iii instance for expense analysis and stuff
• And MQTT broker for my ESP32 projects
• A webdav server for calendar and address book syncing and general file syncing for some things like joplin

There are probably other things that I don't remember right now.

In terms of hardware I got a 6 core AMD 5600X machine with a 5700XT GPU and 16GB of ram for almost all my services and personal use.

I also have an AMD 3600 machine with 3x8TB harddrives for network storage.

So... ODroid N2+ is hosting a Home Assistant. Nothing to add.

I have an old Intel Nuc nuc5cpyh that is currently hosting my WordPress blog at https://some-techy-tinkering.com/. Made it self-hosted a month ago and can't be happier.

The last machine is Intel Nuc nuc7i7bnh with 2 TBs of internal and 4.5 TBs of external drives. This is my main server with:

• Nginx Proxy Manager
• Nextcloud
• Various *arr services
• qBittorrent
• Plex

I self-host:

• A Matrix homeserver
• A Pleroma instance (basically Mastadon but different implementation)
• Tiny-Tiny-RSS
• Nextcloud
• Gitea
• Headscale
• Jellyfin
• Wikijs

I rent a low-budget dedicated server from a data center - it only has about 4 cores and 8GB of RAM, but that's more than enough for my needs. Most importantly it has 2TB of hard drive space (for Nextcloud & Jellyfin) which is why I upgraded from my prior VPS.

Currently self-hosting on an old HP Z600 I bought second hand with the following specs:

CPU — 2x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5660 @ 2.80GHz RAM — 96GB ECC DDR3 (6*16GB) Disks — 4TB HDD for Ubuntu, 10TB HDD for NextCloud and 2TB Sata SSD for Docker

For services, I'm currently running the following:

##Docker Portainer — CF Tunnel FreshRSS — CF Tunnel ArchiveBox — CF Tunnel Adguard Home — Local 2x Uptime Kuma — CF Tunnel LinkAce — CF Tunnel TheLounge — CF Tunnel Watchtower — Local

###For public access dockers Feedropolis Mirotalk SFU FiveFilters RSS Taiga 2x Mattermost Servers 8x Wordpress Staging Sites 1x Wordpress Dev Sites

##For ubuntu, I'm running a few services and apps like: ScreamingFrog 9 sites using LAMP stack Aria2c with AriaNG NextCloud Plex 4x WebHooks server for communities Couple of API end points using Apache reverse proxy OpenVPN CrowdSec

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

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).

I've been working on expanding my homelab recently. I have a physical box at home serving as an LXC host along with a few VPSes. I'm now up to:

• Some static web sites
• Nextcloud
• Jellyfin
• Forgejo
• NTFY
• A reverse proxy
• An IRC server
• A Gemini server
• A VPN
• DNS servers

I think I read an old blog post once that said "Servers tend to multiply like rabbits" and it's 100% true.

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.

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

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)!

I've been selfhosting various things for almost 25 years now. Started with email/web, but now I've got the following (in no particular order):

• email (postfix/dovecot)
• web (nginx)
• shared notes (obsidian, but also through dovecot)
• calendar (davical)
• telephony (asterisk)
• replicated storage (syncthing)
• media server (plex)
• home automation (homeassistant, mosquitto, grafana, influxdb)
• power monitoring (empora device on the breaker panel + a few smart outlets talking to homeassistant)
• security cameras (securityspy)
• irrigation (a controller of my own design, adding OpenSprinkler support this year)
• offsite backups (duplicity + rclone)
• project management/issue tracking (redmine)
• social media (gnu-social + lemmy, but also testing mbin)
• bookmark management (karakeep)
• local copies of web stuff (yt-dlp, hamsterbase, singlefile)
• VPN (openvpn)

Virtualization is mostly docker containers, but also some ESXi/VMWare Fusion. I also have Obsidian in the mix but that's not really a self-host but more of a way to organize/access my data. I have also been doing a (very!) little bit of experimentation with local LLMs, but it's all on ARM, using either the GPU or the NPU available on the RK3588.

This stuff either exists on an OVH VPS for the "internet facing" stuff or on an old Dell C6100 blade server. ESXi uses one blade and another blade runs Debian and talks to an old SATA/SAS disk shelf I got for $50 to see if I could make it work (it was super straightforward). I have a bunch of 2T and 4T "spinning rust" drives in two RAID6 arrays (mdadm) and then carve out storage for various things using LVM. I am experimenting with zfs on the VPS but am not a big fan of it. I used to run OpnSense on another blade since I couldn't find a router which would properly shape gigabit internet traffic, but now I'm using an ER605 and it seems to be doing quite well. I have a tiny KeepConnect device which will physically cut power to the cable modem if it can't see the internet which is very helpful since the biggest source of trouble for me has always been the damn internet service doing weird things when I'm not at home.

I've even been working toward "self hosting" my own educational electronics stuff for my kids using https://microblocks.fun/ (the actual project is called smallvm) - think scratch running completely in the browser and executing code on a "vm" which is actually running on a microcontroller over BLE or serial.

This sounds like a shitload of work and sometimes it can be, but one of the best parts of self hosting is that once it's set up, it hardly ever has to be updated/changed. Security updates are the biggest reason of course, but a LOT of this is not on the open internet so I can be more lenient about keeping things up to date. I also try to keep everything that needs a database to use ONE database (postgres), which also makes it easier to back up or use data from several tools in a new way. Honestly it's largely fire and forget these days. I add more space or replace drives as needed and try not to touch things otherwise. I keep a set of notes to help me remember not only the how but the WHY I set things up in a particular way, and those notes are accessible 100% offline. (After all, what good are notes on how things are set up if the thing you've stored them on isn't working?)

My infrastructure at home (C6100, SAS shelf, switch, etc.) consumes about 700W 24/7 which is not awesome but I figure the power bill saves a lot of service costs. The VPS runs me about $30/mo.
