Selfhosted

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/

Well thanks to the soon to be dead /r/selfhosted on reddit I started selfhosting few years ago and now approximately 90% of my stuff is selfhosted:

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

Hetzner Cloud Server with mailcow on it

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

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 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 👀🦎

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 :)

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.

A 6 node k3s cluster with a Synology for network storage running:

• Nextcloud
• Authentik SSO
• Paperless
• Vikunja
• Joplin Sync
• Matrix
• Immich
• Mealie
• Gitea
• Home-Assistant
• Node-Red
• Zigbee2mqtt
• MQTT server
• Frigate
• UptimeKuma
• Prometheus and Grafana
• AdGuard Home
• Minio
• Longhorn
• Unifi Controller
• Jellyfin
• Homepage

Managed with FluxCD.

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

(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

• 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

Hello selfhosters.

Here's my list of stuff:

On a VPS hosted in Germany:

• Nextcloud
• Mailcow for my own domain
• A blog (https://www.ninjazumbi.com)
• Wallabag
• FreshRSS
• WireGuard VPN

On my home server (my old gaming PC, repurposed)

• Proxmox to manage several containers/VMs:
  • OPNsense Firewall
  • HomeAssistant
  • Pihole
  • Gitlab
  • Jellyfin

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.

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.

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

I only have a few services:

• jellyfin (media server)
• firefly iii (expense manager)
• freshrss (rss aggregator)
• personal telegram bot to auto convert news link to epub for reading in my ereader

All of the service other than jellyfin is hosted on a vps. Jellyfin is hosted from my home and can be accessed remotely via wireguard. However because my isp doesn't provide a public ip, I need to use my vps as wireguard jump host

Client <-> vps <-> home server

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)

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.

Plex+arrs etc Nextcloud Komga SWAG Photoprism HA

128TB.

My main hypervisor is proxmox which runs an unraid vm with the iGPU passed through to accelerate PLEX and disk controllers to manage the storage. I also have 2 Endeavour OS VMs, one that runs Thunderbird and Insync. Another that has a quadro p2000 passed through to tinker with. I also have a homeassistant vm and a proxmox CT running docker.

I'm working up to transitioning the dockers on unraid to a proxmox container but at the same time if it's not broke why fix it.

I also want to mess with networking by putting in OPNsense or pfsense and routing some traffic through a vps.

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

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

I had a small X.25 network as combination coffee-table and space-heater at one point; this was before most homes had internet. It almost cost me a divorce.

I'm just getting my server up and running! Previously it only ran Honeassistant.

Now it runs proxmox, which boots 2 vms, one for HAOS and another for Debian. On the Debian vm there is currently Plex, nextcloud, and some -arr apps.

8 also have a separate raspberry pi pihole. I've had that going for years now, I think I first made it 2019.

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.

On my own hardware: At home I have a Raspberry Pi 4 running JellyFin as a local media server, also experimenting with PiHole. One of these days I'd like to pull my NextCloud server in-house.

VPS: Nextcloud (including calendar, notes, contacts & RSS/Atom), GoToSocial, WordPress, Gemini, and personal website with a mix of home-grown parts and sections managed through Eleventy.

I've also experimented with self-hosting Calckey , Snac2 and Mastodon, but Mastodon's too heavy for a single user and Snac2 is lighter than I want to go with for now. I may try Calckey again at some point, though.

Eventually I'd like to set up Wallabag and migrate from Pocket.
