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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Oh jeez... there's quite the list. I have a Ceph cluster of 3 nodes with 15x HDD's and 3 SSD's... on that cluster I run some VM's that in turn run a Docker swarm. All Ubuntu 22.04, all commodity hardware. Currently I'm running;
Then there's a whole host of ancillary services; BackupPC, Unifi controller container, piHole on a couple of Raspberry Pi's, ts-dnsserver for internal DNS management... probably a dozen other containers and tools I'm forgetting.
Oh yeah, and a Synology NAS as a backup target :)
What's it like hosting your own mail? Been considering it for a while but Gmail features/spam filter/deliverability has been tough to beat.
I respect the enterprise-level IT operation you run for your family lol
Fellow self-hoster, you mention Droppy -- I can only find an archived repo (https://github.com/silverwind/droppy). Do you have any other source?
No, that's what I'm using. Thankfully it works fine and I don't worry too much about security because I just leave it turned off until I need it. The "/droppy" url directs to it but if it's off then it just throws an error back.
Thanks a bunch!
Script kiddies these days got really fast. Configured a new subdomain, started droppy, within a couple seconds, all types of requests were visible in the log.
