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.

Across my and some family members' homes:

  • pihole and openvpn via pivpn(sharing a pi4 in each house)
  • transmission and minidlna (another pi4 with an external hdd)
  • folding@home (on a beefier Intel NUC)
  • homeassistant (same NUC)
  • one house has a funkier setup running on a NUC with homeassistant, appdaemon, influx, grafana and a custom django app that manages them all so they do aome fancier automation for heating/cooling and power consumption

On the internet:

  • a pretty much abandoned blog in Bulgarian built with hugo and deployed on gitlab pages
  • a single user akkoma instance I've migrated off of, but am still keeping for no logical reason, running in docker on a Hetzner VPS
  • a calcley instance that's my current main home on the fediverse, also in docker on a separate Hetzner VPS, this one setup a bit less amateurishly, behind cloidflare and using R2 for sorage
  • a nitter instance for those terrible cases when someone sends me a link to The Bad Place that I still want to see.
  • I set up a bibliogram and proxytok on the same VPS as the nitter instance, but those no longer work after some agressive API changes on IG and tiktok.

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

[–] dragnel@lemmy.maisputain.ovh 1 points 1 year ago

I have a dedicated server where I run multiple service with podman.

  • Funkwhale (we share musics with a friend)
  • Mobilizon
  • Lemmy
  • Pleroma

All those instance are close for inscriptions they are just for me or friends. I use posftix to relay mail. I have on postgresql instance shared across the services. I use traefik for ssl, I wanted traefik to auto discover the container but it didn't work when I tried maybe it works now.

I run an I2P instance and I'm starting to look at Plex. I wonder if those can be combined.

[–] flubba86@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks for running one. I ran an instance for over a year, but I stopped when I switched to a different home server that has less uptime.

[–] neoney@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Not much. I have a searxng instance, used to have nextcloud… I should start hosting more stuff really soon

[–] Lichtblitz@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

Almost everything has been mentioned already so I just stick with the unusual: I host a private MediaWiki instance for note taking in my pen and paper rounds. It's amazing once the other players got a bit more comfortable how to use it well regarding templates, categories and articles. My only regret is that I didn't set up new instances per gaming group.

[–] Knoll0114@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year 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.

[–] dotnetguy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)
  • Heimdall
  • Home Assistant
  • Plex
  • Nginx Proxy Manager - ram hog
  • Adguard
  • NodeRed
  • ZWaveJS
  • Zigbee2Mqtt
  • Portainer
  • qBittorent
  • Ring-MQTT

Running on a minisofurm mini pc with 5600h, paid $219 and used spare drives and ram lying around. Used to run 2 raspberry pi 4s but retired those due to updating home assistant via docker getting really old. Proxmox handles things great, like the flexibility and performance boost too, especially just pulling docker images lol, unarchiving was so painful on pi 4.

[–] maysaloon@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Gitea
Backups via rsync
Jellyfin
Piped for YouTube

Using gentoo Linux with raspberry pi 4B

[–] thecdc1995@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Syncthing, Plex, and DokuWiki.

My needs are small but Syncthing is for standard file sync and DokuWiki is for a repository for my family. It's been surprisingly useful to be able to spin and delete up a syncthing folder for some specific thing.

Plex is for my ripped DVDs and also a great way to consume my photos archive without keeping a copy locally on my phone.

[–] surfrock66@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

  • OpenLDAP (Directory)
  • Jellyfin (Media)

I've got a Nextcloud instance that I've run for a few years. Love it. At home I have an Odroid H3+ with 64GB of ram running Openmediavault. Got about a dozen containers running on that. I need to play with it more and use that ram. I did try to get Boinc running on it but it, sadly, kept shutting down. I'll have to find a another way to contribute to science.

[–] Peef_Rimgar@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Currently: RPi4 with CasaOS, running Pihole and Home Assistant, which I honestly rarely use, unfortunately.

Potentially planned: -Jellyfin -Rustdesk server -Some samba solution on RPi4 for my hdd I currently have hooked to my router, any advice on what I should look into for that would be appreciated.

[–] Sickify@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My main machine is running Linux Mint on a Ryzen 2700x, 32gb ram, 80TB of raw storage and a vega 64 GPU.

Running:

  • Home Assistant
  • Emby Server
  • Photoprism
  • Piwigo
  • The usual NZB suite
  • FTP Server for uploading cellphone pictures automatically at night time
[–] JshKlsn@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Photoprism

You should give Immich a go. It's infinitely better.

[–] Scrappy@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago
  • Home Assistant (running on RPi, proxied to VPS)
  • Zigbee2MQTT (running on RPi)
  • NodeRed (running on RPi)
  • Joplin (VPS, opensource note taking app)
  • Minecraft modded modpack (VPS, statech 1.0.3) Probably a couple more I'm forgetting.

This is all in docker containers behind a reverse proxy using Traefik. Im happy with the setup as it's really versatile and so far hasn't failed me. Biggest upgrade I've done is replacing the SD card of the RPi with an SSD

[–] vlad76@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

A Groovy bot replacement for me and my friends.

[–] william@dumbdomain.xyz 1 points 1 year ago
  • Plesk (web stack) - almalinux 8
  • Work VM - Windows LTSC
  • arrstack - Docker
  • Ghost - Docker
  • Convos - Docker
  • Unraid
  • ESXi with vSphere

I'm sure I'm forgetting a few things, but that's mostly what I host here at home. My lemmy instance is on DigitalOcean.

Minecraft server

[–] CrownCrafter@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I'm selfhosting a Terraria server, with a medium size world

At home on multiple Pis: OpenMediaVault HomeAssistant Raspbee (Zigbee module) Unifi controller

Server 1 (Ubuntu): Wireguard

Server 2 (Ubuntu): Nextcloud Trillium Gitea Vaultwarden Calibre Web Vikunja Photoprism Paperless

All services only run on the Wireguard interface.

And I am looking into some billing tools for my side-gig.

[–] dodo@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I'm self-hosting some stuff on a yunohost server but i plan to switch to start9 once they add support for clearnet.

  • Nextcloud
  • Jellyfin
  • Calibreweb
  • Email (though I don't really use it)

I would be hosting more but our internet is too slow for anything else to really be effective.

[–] jason@fedia.io 1 points 1 year ago

Too many things:

[–] nieceandtows@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I have a jellyfin server on a pi4. I recently bought a dell micro pc, but haven't had the motivation to move the jellyfin server over to it yet.

[–] yara@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'm running truenas scale as hypervisor (migrated from proxmox to try to save electricity costs)

  • Opnsense as Firewall
  • Ansible (debian)for Patching and infrastructure management
  • zabbix (debian) for monitoring
  • plex (debian) media server
  • Omada controller (access points) (ubuntu)
  • homeassistant (hass OVA) for home automation
  • nginx (debian) as reverse proxy
[–] RelativeArea0@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I got 2 q+ tv boxes running armbian for h6

1st one runs as my dns server + sinkhole via technitium (pihole is a bit janky on them idk why) 2nd one runs as my unifi controller + samba fileserver + torrent downloader

Reason why i went with this is because they are cheaper than sbc or 2nd hand laptop

Fun part is that they are running at 20w/h in total

[–] aZra@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Paperless NGX on a Raspberry 4. No more paper documents at home... Everything that still comes by mail is instantly scanned and shredded. Emails are also scanned and attachments are added automatically, if important.

[–] mintopiasystem@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago

We have experimented with using a home media server through Plex. We got it to work, but we generally do not keep it running all the time.
