I have a few raspberry pis, running Home Assistant, Unifi controller, PiHole... Otherwise i have DigitalOcean droplets, one hosts my Lemmy instance, and another hosts a couple of side project websites (my wife's freelance business, and some other stuff)
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 (donβt cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Nothing too grand - a couple Discord bots and a few retro shooter servers in the cloud, and also a Raspberry Pi 4 in the living room which serves nicely as a media center and seed box.
Hardware:
- Two Dell r610s, each with 12 cores and 96 GB of RAM, running ESXi 6.7
- Lenovo M900, 4 core, 16 GB RAM
- Synology 1515 with 12 TB usable
- Synology 1517 with 32 TB usable
- Juniper SRX 220H (Firewall)
- Juniper EX 2200 48 port switch
- UnFi in-wall WiFi APs
Running a Kubernetes cluster on the Dell hardware, then another single node k8s cluster on the Lenovo, mostly to run Adguard home / DNS in case the big cluster goes down for whatever reason.
I run the following services, all in Kubernetes, with FluxCD doing GitOps from a repo in GitHub (for now, might move to Gitea later):
- Authentik
- Bookstack
- Calibre
- Flame (Homepage)
- Frigate NVR
- Home Assistant
- Memos
- Monica
- Plex
- Prowlarr
- Radarr
- Rocket Chat
- Sonarr
- Tandoor
- Tautulli
- Unifi
- UptimeKuma
- VS Code
- Zigbee2MQTT
Turns out I have quite a lot of stuff, and yet I'm here thinking I barely have anything! Until now:
- Nextcloud
- Kitchenowl (grocery lists)
- Kavita (ebook manager)
- Grist (spreadsheets that are databases I guess?)
- Sharry (file sharing)
- Changedetection.io
- A ghost blog
- Bookstack (like a manual on managing the server)
- Portainer (manage containers from a webui)
- Diun (notifies when an update is released for a container. Doesn't have a webui)
- Homepage dashboard (basically a webpage that shows me my selfhosted services)
All these are running inside Docker containers, on an ancient laptop with a single cpu core and 3 gigs of RAM.
Excited to discover more things to host on that ~~little~~ pretty big guy (somehow its still running well)!
Pi-hole, Wireguard + 'a CDN client' on raspberry pi 4 with SSD
Ditched my Synology NAS, running an unRaid machine now:
i5-10400, 32 GiB (to much) Memory, 15.7 TB used of 60 TB
- VMs: homeassistant , macOS, Windows 10
- SWAG, Cloudflare DDNS, Arrrrrr dockers, Plex, ArchiveTeamWarrior, gokapi, qBittorrent, Resilio Sync, wikijs, mariaDB + whatever I find interesting to try out
I'm hosting Trillium Note for my personal note taking.
Currently I play around with a Raspi 4 8GB with docker-compose. Most services are accessible with VPN only:
Caddy (as easy reverse proxy)
Portainer (container dashboard)
Linkding (bookmarks)
Baikal (calendar, todo list to sync with Android by caldav)
Agendav (web calendar frontend)
Dillinger (browser markdown editor with PDF export)
Trilium (note app)
Syncthing (google drive/onedrive alternative)
Seafile (file sharing)
Jellyfin (media server)
I selfhost on a 2011 Mac Mini running Ubuntu with 16 gb ram:
- Metabase (a data library of charts, dashboards)
- NocoDB (an Airtable replacement that makes it easy for my users to get data into Metabase)
I'm also setting these up on VPS
Feel free to take it as a chance to present yourself to the community!
Hello, my name is Zingo and I have a selfhosting addition going back to 2016 when I bought my first NAS with docker capabilities.
Community: Hi Zingo! Welcome!
Thank you.
Currently struggling more than even as it starts to take over my life. I have tried over hundreds of services.
I'll try to find strength to list some at a later stage in this healing process. Sorry no bonus points. Maybe in the next session.
Thank you all for this awesome support. I would be lost without you. π
Two "servers"
Pi4-8gb; 1TB SSD:
External-facing
- Pi-hole
- home assistant
- web server
- Calibre
- Simple games like Minecraft
Dual Xeon; 96Gb Ram; 50TB; bound NICs:
Internal, mostly
- media: Jellyfin, -arrs
- Sabnzbd
- Steam games server (these are external containers)
- Looking to add cloud files access; just haven't decided what and how, yet
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
-Gitea
-Backrest
-MariaDB
-Netbootxyz
-Trillium
-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)
-SDTDServer (gameserver)
-SFServer (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).
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.
I use proxmox on my server. I virtualize opnsense (with adguard and wireguard), jellyfin, unifi, home assistant, and syncthing.
I have a synology ds220j w/ 2x10tb
Hardware: Intel 12100, 32gb ram, i350-t4 network card TP link TL-SG108E switch
I'm going to move opnsense to a dedicated box eventually
Currently self-hosting a pi-hole instance, an nfs/smb server & a LAN-only webserver, as well as 24/7 syncthing (to which I automatically send my phone's photos to)
My specs are:
Intel Atom N270 (1 core, 2 threads) 1Gb DDR2 Ram (God knows the frequency but it's slow.) And a 500gb HDD
You really don't need a lot of oomph to self host! I'm planning on running a qBitTorrent webui next.
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
I got
- A RAID NAS for general
- A Firefly-iii instance for expense analysis and stuff
- And MQTT broker for my ESP32 projects
- A webdav server for calendar and address book syncing and general file syncing for some things like joplin
There are probably other things that I don't remember right now.
In terms of hardware I got a 6 core AMD 5600X machine with a 5700XT GPU and 16GB of ram for almost all my services and personal use.
I also have an AMD 3600 machine with 3x8TB harddrives for network storage.

currently, I selfhost https://beyondcombustion.net and now https://lemmy.beyondcombustion.net for /r/vaporents and hopefully others. There's other stuff I self host too, this is the fun new stuff though.
I selfhost a lot of the normal stuff everyone else does. Plex, AdguardHome, etc...
I also have a 96+ port dial-up server system: https://2600.network

Hello :)
I'm not really a "selfhoster" but I thought I'd present myself anyway since you asked :D
I do a little bit of it but only for personal use, I don't have the skills to selfhost for public use.
I have Gitea, Planka, Dokuwiki, Apache+MariaDB, and self-compiled World of Warcraft server emulators (TrinityCore, CMangos and AzerothCore).
