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.

Late to the party and after reading through some of these setups I may have to expand mine soon (it never ends does it?), here is what I have right now.

Unraid (Dell R720XD, dual Xeon E5-2670 v2, 64GB RAM, 12 x 6TB in 12 disk array with 2 parity disks, 800GB SSD cache pool)

-NextCloud

-Plex

-Emby

-Traccar

-Vaultwarden

-Adguard-Home

-Unifi

-Homebox

-Nessus

-Headscale

-Collabora

-*arrs

-Jupterlab

-Mealie

-SearXNG

-IT-Tools

-EmulatorJS

-Youtube-DL-Material

Proxmox (old Intel server S2600WT2, dual Xeon E5-2620 V2, 768GB RAM, 5 x 2TB disks):

-Zap2XML

-Immich

-Mumble

-NextPVR

-Stirling-PDF

-WebTop

-Frigate

-MCServer (gameserver)

There are some other things floating around in my homelab that aren't really 'selfhosted' things, just important to the home network:

3 HP Microserver Gen8's

-x1 with ESXi hosting pfSense

-x2 with TrueNas Scale for backups

R610 with ESXi for a few remote desktops and Home Assistant (which I'm sure I'll move to docker at some point).

backrest
headscale
emulatorjs
it-tools
webtop
...

Oooohhh... some really interesting and new-to-me apps in your list! Thanks for sharing.

[–] ___@l.djw.li 2 points 1 year ago

Presently, my Fediverse presence is mostly self-hosted by one definition or another. This Lemmy instance lives on my server, and my Masto is hosted by a company dedicated to exactly that because it's dirty cheap and one fewer thing for me to worry about.

Looking to add to the list.

  • Two NextCloud instances, one is a RPi4 with a big external HDD which I use for backups, the other one contains everything else, including PhoneTrack. Happy to have a self-hosted privacy-friendly way to share my location with family.
  • Email using mailcow.
  • Jabber server using prosody. Using it with immediate family and two friends. Still super happy.
  • Web server including personal blogs. Currently looking to migrate away from Wordpress into something static without comments.
  • pihole
  • Half-finished home automation stuff.

  • smbd and nfs server
  • pivpn wireguard
  • minecraft stuff in seperate ubuntu vm:
  • pterodactyl panel
  • pterodactyl daemon
  • probably something else I forget
  • currently just running a monero miner as I have not been playing minecraft recently.

Hardware: Main server Ryzen 7 3900XT with 64GB of ram, two 240GB ssds running in raid1, two 4tb hard drives running in raid1, running proxmox with mostly alpine linux VMs

Secondary Server: Intel nuc running alpinelinux, only running secondary unbound/dnsmasq server so if my main server goes down, dns still works.

Late 2013 iMac: I was using it to run an iMessage to matrix bridge but I was not able to get it to work so now I just vnc into it to text. (suggestions welcome as vnc is annoying)

I also have another intel nuc that does not do anything.

All of these servers are connected to an APC back-ups UPS.

[–] remus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Lots of stuff! Currently running almost all of these in Docker on a Synology NAS:

  • Code Server - access my notes files remotely
  • Gitea - only used to store notes that are edited in Obsidian (or Code Server as mentioned above)
  • Home Assistant - home automation
  • Homebridge - used for one or two devices that have better integrations than natively in Home Assistant
  • Jellyfin - video streaming platform (installed because it's FOSS and seems interesting, but I rarely use it)
  • Overseerr - user-request app for video streaming platform (installed when I anticipated sharing my movies/shows before realizing that my ISP severely limits my upload speeds)
  • Pi-Hole - block all ads network-wide
  • Plex - primary video streaming platform
  • Radarr - download movies
  • Readarr - download books but have had better luck with Libgen on an ad-hoc basis
  • Sonarr - download shows
  • YTDL - download YT videos
  • Wireguard - VPN into the home network

I might be the only person self hosting a gopher server. Its running on a Raspi 4 on my home network, using Flask Gopher.

[–] irmadlad@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Aww man I remember those well. Is this for nostalgia or do you regularly use it?

[–] Nerrad@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I have a number of useful services on it, including stock quotes, many news sources, some games. Its been a labor of love.

[–] Wintermute@lemmy.villa-straylight.social 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Lemmy, mostly :D. I also recently started up my own Matrix home server. I took a stab at email, but it was more trouble than it's worth considering my relatively newly acquired cloud hosting IP is on several blacklists. Now that I actually have a server running again Gitea might be next on the list of services that gets added.

[–] puck2@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I host a bitcoin node, and some video

[–] Deemo@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I use a combination of a MacMini Oracle cloud, probably not best long term solution but it's free (while it lasts).

Stuff that runs on Oracle:

  • caddy proxy (mostly used for Mac reverse proxy)
  • couch db (obsidian live sync plugin)

Stuff on Mac:

  • blue bubbles (iMessage relay for Android)
  • Plex (for photo backup)

Aside from that not much else 😊

[–] ronflex@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Hyunta@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 months ago

Thank you for all for sharing 🀩 I still havent determine if I'm going self hosting at home or with a VPS, but I discovered cool projects!

[–] lapping147@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

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

[–] RobotDaniel@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] falcon15500@lemmy.nine-hells.net 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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).

[–] estevez@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

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
[–] innercitadel@lemmy.nz 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

VPS (Ubuntu on 4 virtual cores, 10GB ram, 100GB NVME)

  • Mediawiki with semantic mediawiki and various plug-ins and 650 pages
  • Orthantic and OHIF (radiology images)
  • Moodle (docker)

Cloud container provider (different to above VPS provider)

  • 3 x mediawiki sites

Homelab (Unraid on i7 4790, 16gb RAM, 3 x 10TB HDD, 4TB external disk, no cache disk yet, RTX 3070, fractal define 7 mid tower)

  • Plex
  • Komga (comics)
  • Audiobookshelf
  • Kavita and Calibre (books)
  • Photoview (family photos)
  • Filebrowser (work)
  • Cloudflared (zero trust tunnels)
  • Heimdall (dashboard)
  • Krusader
  • Plugins: docker compose manager, docker patch, unassigned devices

Have ordered an N100 mini PC from aliexpress with plans of installing OPNsense and running a couple VMs on it.

My gaming computer for interest, not currently hosting anything: 5800X3D, 7900XTX, 32GB ram, 2TB NVME, 2TB SSD, 4TB HDD, fractal meshify midbtower case.

I also have a Pi 4 and a Pi 3 that I don't have any use for currently. Open to ideas. I already run Adguard on phone and Ublock origin on desktop browser, and don't see any current use for Pihole.

[–] Nilz@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago

Hi there. My first post in this community.

I'm currently running:

  • Pi-hole
  • Plex Media Server
  • Grafana
  • Torrent server
  • Monica
  • Shaarli
  • Matrix instance
  • Arch package cache
  • Several game servers such as Minecraft and Terraria
  • VM running Volvo software to troubleshoot my cars.

My hardware: I used to run it all on a Supermicro x9drd-7ln4f-jbod with dual Xeon E5-2670 v2 with 16x16GB ECC ram and 6x 3TB disks in raidz2 for storage and 2x 60gb Intel SSDs for OS. I started with less and upgraded towards this configuration but it was consuming 300 watt idle which was just unacceptable.

So earlier this year I upgraded to an ASRock Rack x470D4U with Ryzen 7 5700x and 4x32GB ECC (non-registered) ram and 6x 2TB SSDs in raidz2. 1 ssd is in the nvme slot on the motherboard, 4 are in a 4x4 bifurcation card in the 16x slot and 1 more in a 4x riser. All PCIe lanes of the CPU are used. This setup is not possible with an AMD CPU with integrated GPU since it will take up 4 PCIe lanes (you can guess how I know). It uses about 20 watt idle without any containers and VMs running. I initially didn't want to move away from Supermicro but the ASRock Rack motherboard has IPMI so I'm not missing out on much.

Hardware and software suggestions are welcome :D

[–] Ascrod@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Teng@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] perishthethought@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I know it's been 2 months but I just stumbled upon your question.

Here's what my massive home server looks like. : )

Hi

I started self hosting 3 years ago when I got wind of tailscale. I've always cared about privacy and building things so that was great.

My infrastructure consists of two machines.

One - my personal and work server A deskmini i3 12th gen

256GB Boot drive 4TB NVME data drive

-photoprism -syncthing -nextcloud -Firefox+VPN -archivebox

Two - my media server that I let 6ish other people access - PC tower i3 12th gen

512GB Boot and docker config file drive 4*4TB HDD mergerfs for raw data

-jellyfin -*arr suite -gluetun VPN -audiobookshelf (also for auto downloading podcasts) -calibre-web

[–] WezXL@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Starting to fall down the rabbit hole of self hosting,

Unraid, Plex & Pihole. Next project is Opnsense, then starting to look at Home Assistant.

[Thread #292 for this sub, first seen 21st Nov 2023, 13:45] [FAQ] [Full list] [Contact] [Source code]

Have a PC in the basement acting as a server.

  • Microk8s on Ubuntu Server
  • Custom-written experimental NodeJS app to help when playing D&D
  • Keycloak to act as an IDP
  • Cloudflare tunnel to receive traffic
  • Valheim server (temporarily -- I moved this back to local)
  • Wiki.js

[–] tinysalamander@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I see people listing things I've never heard about...I thought I had spent a considerable amount of time on the old sub and knew stuff. Guess I gotta hit the books.

Right now though I'm hosting everything on a 2012 Mac Mini that's running Proxmox.

Been using these programs for awhile now:

  • Photoprism
  • wireguard
  • web blog testing instance while the live one lives on linode
  • plex
  • filebrowser
  • pi-hole
  • homepage

Nothing crazy but cool stuff to learn in my day to day. I want more hardware but I'm about to buy a house. It's crazy how much I'm throwing at an 11 year old computer and it's handling it all quite well.
