Mostly matrix client/server + bots, etherpad & mumble (until matrix can replace it on desktop, PTT-wise)
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.

My media library over SSHFS. The server runs Debian 11 and the client is an old Linux Mint laptop in my basement hooked up to a TV. The laptop only has access to my local network.
Lemmy (since why not), portainer, Plex & Jellyfin (I mostly use Jellyfin), vaultwarden, qbittorrent, autobrr, virtualmin, couple of ircd servers, nginx proxy manager, couple of websites and considering actually selfhosting email even with all that crap that comes with it. Probably a few I've forgotten about
Mostly just a nodejs server running a proxy that I use to mitm myself, editing a file to fix events and the arena in angry birds epic lol
My general rule is to not self host things that are good enough / free (as in $$ not FOSS). So I don't host email or music. I'm not a huge music person so spotify does the job, and gmail's been great since it started.
Things I do host
- media server (jellyfin + sonarr/radarr etc)
- stable diffusion image generation server
- games (starbound mostly, killed minecraft after microsoft takeover)
- lemmy
- comics/manga server (komga)
- yt-dl web interface
Why did you killed Minecraft after MS takeover? Especially after you wrote that you use gmail
MeshCentral for providing remote IT support. I run it in a lightweight VM on very modest hardware (ancient Core 2 system I had kicking around) and it works great. The sheer breadth of features is damn impressive and I'd consider it among some of the best open source projects in terms of UI. No middleman like TeamViewer or Splashtop, and it only costs me a bit of time and hardware.
Currently running OPNsense on my primary router/firewall appliance, with a WireGuard VPN so I can access my self-hosted stuff remotely without exposing more of an attack surface.
Actual things I’m hosting:
- Vaultwarden
- Nginx Proxy Manager
- Pi-hole
Those are all running on a Libre LePotato.
Currently that’s all the hardware I have, but I’m hoping to expand as time goes on. Next step is setting up a proxmox machine (I have an old desktop but it generates too much heat for where I want to store it)
Elaborate more on the first point please. I know and use opnsense but what about the VPN?
Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi
I really want to get something like a Synology NAS to run a media server / VPN server / PiHole / NAS server on, but I don't have $500-$1000 to drop on new hardware right now.
@proycon Proxmox on an HP Z620 (2x Xeon E5-2670, 16 cores, 64GB RAM)
Inside of that I run:
Emby
AMP (game server software)
Moodle (for content development, currently idle)
Home Assistant
Paperless-ngx
Grocy (just installed recently)
+ an assortment of VMs for various purposes
(Edit: for anyone who uses Proxmox: I find the scripts here tteck.github.io/Proxmox/ to be very helpful is quickly spinning up LXC's)
I also have an OPNSense firewall, a Pihole, and a Synology NAS.
Other than my game servers and Emby, which get port forwarding through my OPNSense firewall, everything stays internal to my network. I'm thinking of learning wireguard so I can remote into my network, but that's not a high priority.
Oracle Database and Apex for a shopping list application for my family.
- immich
- homeassistant
- jellyfin
are used daily, also lots of other services.
Nextcloud, Calckey, HomeAssistant, AdGuard Home, Serge, Octoprint (probably forgot something)
Some of it running in a data center. Some of it running local either on dedicated hardware or on Proxmox.
I don’t host anything public, but I’ve got two Proxmox nodes hosting various local services in virtual machines . Currently I have
- My gaming rig, running windows with a GPU passed through. With this I stream games to my laptop, steam deck, tv, etc
- My router, running Vyos with a dual port nic passed through. The configuration is all done through ansible
- TrueNAS for general network storage
- a handful of vms created on the fly for specific projects
