Selfhosted

Last year I downsized from an old HP tower server with a xeon, and 8x 1tb SAS HDDs, to a single Intel NUC with i5 and 4x 4TB SATA HDDs.

I run Proxmox on it, with several VMs.

• Gerbera - DLNA/Upnp server for streaming my media
• Shinobi - monitors and records my security cameras
• Syncthing - for keeping backups of important things from my laptop and my phone and my wife's phone.
• A container with a Python script that is constantly monitoring my solar panel energy production and sends it to pvoutput.org
• Some VMs with different versions of Centos and PHP for developing and testing webapps on.

I also have a raspberry pi with home assistant and a ZigBee USB adapter, for controlling the lighting in my house.

I've been trying to get docker swarm running across my 4 rpi's, but traefik hasn't been able to discover services (can find them on the same node if the network is a bridge, can't find anything with overlay network) which has been frustrating to try to figure out the problem. That said, here is what I plan to host on the swarm:

• traefik
• grocy
• nextcloud
• vaultwarden
• plex
• nginx (portfolio website that I currently just have on GitHub pages)
• lemmy instance (for some of you beautiful bastards)
• readarr, sonarr, readarr, lidarr, prowlarr, sabnzb, and qbittorrent

Mostly WordPress sites. But do have experience with Mastodon self hosting

Plex and an FTP/Samba server on a DS418play.

I have a few Raspberry Pis hosting

• PiHole/Wireguard
• Synching
• Jellyfin
• Home Assistant
• Motioneye

Server 1 OS: Debian Nextcloud Plex

Server 2 (raspberry pi) OS: Raspbian Lite PiHole PiVPN

• Home Assistant
• Pi hole
• Plex
• NAS storage
• Sonarr/Radarr/etc
• Calibre

Unifi controller is the only 'real' service I actually keep running. I have various VMs running on Proxmox that I mostly use for testing. Even though I have two physical servers with plenty of compute and memory available, backed by a large NAS and all of hanging off a UPS, I just don't feel comfortable in self-hosting things I deem critical.

I've got 3 "servers" at the moment running lots of fun services.

Dell Optiplex Tower

• Sevarr Suite
• Audiobookshelf
• Calibre/Calibre-Web
• Nextcloud
• FreshRSS
• Paperless
• Linkding
• Dillinger
• HomeAssistant
• Mealie
• WikiJS
• Gitea
• PiHole
• Homepage

Old Laptop

• Project Zomboid Server
• Minecraft Server
• copyparty
• Tinfoil/NUT

Raspi4

• Klipper/Mainsail
• Obico
• VanDam

I also run Plex off of my Desktop, but I plan to build a new server soon to replace the Optiplex that I can migrate it to. I'm also going to be integrating Authentik. Everything is managed using Yacht and running on Ubuntu, then proxied through Cloudflare or tunnelled through Tailscale.

Mostly just a nodejs server running a proxy that I use to mitm myself, editing a file to fix events and the arena in angry birds epic lol

• NAS: TrueNAS
• HomeKit Bridge: HomeBridge
• Spelling/Grammar: LanguageTool Server
• DBs: MariaDB, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Influx
• In-memory caches: Memcached, Reddis
• Dashboards/Alerting: Grafana
• File Storage/Sharing: Nextcloud
• Metrics/Logs: Prometheus, Mimir
• Media: Plex

Most of these are run on a RPi4 cluster (Consul as mesh/discovery, Nomad for orchestration). This list doesn't include stuff on the router/firewall (WG, DNS, filtering, blah blah blah... )

• buildbot for archlinux package builds
• dovecot with fetchmail for mail retrieval
• fail2ban with very strict rules against all those bots
• gitea for my own projects
• home-assistant with some usual backend stuff like knxd, zigbee2mqtt, mosquitto
• navidrome for the music collection
• nextcloud with very few apps
• vdr for recording TV shows from satellite with a smartcard reader for the local television smartcard
• octoprint on the 3D printer
• pacoloco, an archlinux package cache
• paperless for document management
• teamspeak

All services are configured and deployed using saltstack and monitored with sensu. I do not use containers but I have all services hardened by hardening the systemd service and/or apparmor profiles.

Backups are done using btrbk.

Proxmox on i7-6700 32GB -- VMs are debian unless otherwise specified:

-Home Assistant (HAOS)

-motionEye

-openmediavault

-Plex, Ombi, sonarr, radarr (Windows) -- someday I will migrate all of this to debian VMs

Intel nuc10i7FNH on Ubuntu Pro running Plex, Tautulli, and a Fabric Minecraft server.

RPi3b+ running pihole/unbound and PiVPN

Couple of Dell and Lenovo mini PCs

• Custom browser start page
• File server
• Media server with Tonido
• Jellyfin
• Vectorpod

The other machine just has random VMs for testing things like:

• Owncloud
• LAMP
• Whatever else I run into

dumped docker ps and cleaned it up a bit

I host a minecraft server for my family

Intel nuc (dont know which one exactly) running MineOS.

I have a slightly different setup personally! I am actually happily running a Windows Pro server.

For my Drivepool redundant storage, I am utilizing a cool tool I came across years ago called https://stablebit.com/DrivePool and I've been really happy with it!

I RDP into my server a lot for coding projects, and misc things, almost like a secondary computer. Additionally, I enjoy being able to Steam stream several games from it to my phone or laptop on the go. A surprising number of games are playable in this fashion.

Outside of that, I do selfhost multiple serices:

• Plex, I actually heavily use it as a self-hosted Youtube alternative by leveraging yt-dlp and some personal tooling I wrote that collates downloaded youtube channels into Collections within my Plex (No ads!) -- Shameless plug tomy tool - https://github.com/KJBurnett/plex-youtube-channel-collections
• Rocket.Chat for chatting with my close friends
• code-server - a self-hosted vscode environment. You can literally code on an iPad with the capability and power of a Ryzen 7 behind it. Very cool and fun.
• gitlab (although it seems fairly heavy for my needs, unsure.)
• Overseerr - Movie/tv show requesting web app tied into my Plex
• airsonic - Plex also does music but sometimes it seems to be pretty resource heavy. I run Plex with Plexamp simultaneously with airsonic for the service redundancy currently.

Well, I'm not running it currently for reasons, but I used to host a Jellyfin media server on my desktop, but that was inconvenient as it was the desktop I was actually using. Eventually I switched from Pop!_OS to Fedora which lacked Jellyfin transcoding support and I had to stop hosting it. In a few days I should get a 1050ti to complete the setup and then I will be back up and running on my first dedicated server. I will probably look in to hosting a mail server, a nas, bitwarden, and possibly a librex or searx search engine on it once it is up and running. It is an old system with 3gb of ddr2 and an athelon 64 x2 from 2005 but it should do the trick for everything I want out of it. Right now I am just hoping that the new GPU doesn't trigger current protection on the cheapo PSU that is in there.

Edit: I'm also going to set up an i2p seedbox for obscure torrents.

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

My media library over SSHFS. The server runs Debian 11 and the client is an old Linux Mint laptop in my basement hooked up to a TV. The laptop only has access to my local network.

• immich
• homeassistant
• jellyfin

are used daily, also lots of other services.

my website, mail server... using free software, of course

OpenWRT on Netgear for DNS and DHCP

pfSense on CP2200 for VPN, packet filtering, SSL inspection, and unbound

TrueNAS on TerraMaster for NFS and iocage running Jellyfin

Raspbian on RasPi4 for ICA, LDAP, SNMP, Syslogs, etc

I self host the work software,

Ansible host,
Kubernetes Cluster
Elasticsearch cluster
Game servers
Piholes,
AgentGPT,
Various other things when needed.

Im currently new to self hosting, however I've started running my own website using NGINX (pronounced en-ginks of course) on a raspberry pi. It's handling quite well, the most activity I've known of is my friend trying to DoS it by opening a bunch of tabs on it. Next steps: Keeping track of connections and DDoS protection (w/o cloudfare. Any suggestions?)
