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.

The thing I use most that I self host is Home Assistant

Have a rather underpowered mini PC (Gigabyte BRIX BACE-3000 with 8GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD) running Nextcloud, Photoprism, Home Assistant, Zigbee2MQTT and CouchDB for a small task tracking app I built. All of this is running on Docker with Portainer on Debian.

I also run Kodi on it a couple of times a day - it doesn't have hardware acceleration for HEVC due to its age but it does have hardware acceleration for 1080p H264 which is sufficient for me.

Kinda surprised that all of this runs sort of decently. CPU hits 100% whenever a single application is actively being used but since I am the only user using a single application at a time, it is kinda alright.

Stable Diffusion (Stability AI version), text-generation-webui (WizardLM), a text embedder service with Spacy, Bert and a bunch of sentence-transformer models, PiHole, Octoprint, Elasticsearch/Kibana for my IoT stuff, Jellyfin, Sonarr, FTB Minecraft (customized pack), a few personal apps I wrote myself (todo lists), SMB file shares, qBittorrent and Transmission (one dedicated to Sonarr)... Probably a ton of other stuff I'm forgetting.

I self-host, on a Debian VPS,

  • Commafeed, an online RSS reader (replacement for the long-departed, dearly missed Google Reader)
  • Nextcloud, for file sync (to replace Google Drive)

Considered self-hosting email as well, but dealing with spam is an intimidating prospect. Using Tutanota instead, but it's not entirely satisfactory (the app client is sloooow).

My general rule is to not self host things that are good enough / free (as in $$ not FOSS). So I don't host email or music. I'm not a huge music person so spotify does the job, and gmail's been great since it started.

Things I do host

  • media server (jellyfin + sonarr/radarr etc)
  • stable diffusion image generation server
  • games (starbound mostly, killed minecraft after microsoft takeover)
  • lemmy
  • comics/manga server (komga)
  • yt-dl web interface
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Starbound is great game as well

I have a Mini-PC sitting under my TV that is a frankenstein'd together media PC and home server running on Ubuntu.

I am running Nextcloud for easily accessing stuff from all devices, Bookstack for organizing and sharing notes, borgbackup for, well, backups. Currently experimenting with gitea just in case github loses its shit^^

Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi

I really want to get something like a Synology NAS to run a media server / VPN server / PiHole / NAS server on, but I don't have $500-$1000 to drop on new hardware right now.

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

I have a Proxmox server running:

  • PiHole
  • Jellyfin
  • Grocy

Unfortunately much less and much less efficiently than I'd like; atm it's Plex on an old Windows 7 laptop, and an SMB/NFS server on a Rock64 with an 8TB external hard drive.

Quassal Core on a linode, but that's cloud VPS, not my hardware, so not really self-hosting, even if I'm directly handling the OS and configuration.

I'd like to set up more. Ideally I'd like to set up two RAID backup servers, at seperate buildings, and have everything within the building back up to the local server multiple times per day, then have the servers perform incremental backups to each other once a day. ideally running on something small and cheap that I can leave in my dad's basment next to his router; "I got backups set up dad, it's this machine, you can pretty much ignore it, but let me know if you happen to notice it not running."

Figuring out Borg would be nice; dad's laptop is of course Windows, which Borg doesn't play nice with, but from the server on his end on, it'd all be linux. I just need to get a couple low-power high-storage boxen built.

I don't have anything crazy setup. I'm always trying to think of some additional stuff I can setup, but only if it's really going to be useful to me.

I have an Unraid box with some containers and a few VMs

  • Home Assistant OS (VM)
  • small linux vm for hosting a personally built discord bot and twitter bot
  • Plex
  • *arr stack
  • Jellyfin
  • qbitorrent
  • Plex Meta Manager
  • tautulli
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Running Unraid. Adding more slowly. Moved over from an old windows PC hosting a bunch to Unraid last year. Keep adding more Dockers.

Plex - Media *Arrs, Sabnzb and QBitorrent for... Linux ISO downloading Minecraft (Vanilla) Minecraft Modded (AllTheMods8) Foundry VTT - For my D&D game

Planning on doing Nextcloud for a NAS feel for non media sharing with Friends

And probably a Calibre or something for eBooks and something for Audiobooks eventually

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

On my laptop:

  • Plex
  • qBittorrent
  • Calibre
  • Prowlarr
  • Syncthing

On vultr:

  • Akkoma
  • Lemmy
  • The Lounge
  • Wordpress
