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.

I have a Mini-PC sitting under my TV that is a frankenstein'd together media PC and home server running on Ubuntu.

I am running Nextcloud for easily accessing stuff from all devices, Bookstack for organizing and sharing notes, borgbackup for, well, backups. Currently experimenting with gitea just in case github loses its shit^^

I run Nextcloud for myself and extended family plus a wireguard vpn, airsonic music streaming, calibre web for books and pi-hole for killing ads.

EDIT - pi-hole and wireguard are running on a raspberry pi and the rest on an Ubuntu NUC.

So much stuff.

  • Unraid for NAS
  • next cloud to connect to the NAS and as a personal drop box
  • all of the *arr services (sonarr, radarr etc)
  • Plex
  • I was doing dizqueTV for a personal “tv station” on my Plex server but I disabled it for now due to low use
  • a bunch of VMs for infosec related tinkering (couple of Win 10, Ubuntu server, and one ParrotOS install)

On the cloud side, I host two things in production:

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

As of right now

  • Vikunja (nice todo app w/ kanban board)
  • Kestra (data orchestration tool/alternative to n8n, huginn, node-red)
  • Bookstack (note taking app)
  • Memos (simpler notes)
  • Home Assistant (for simple home automation)

It is all running via NixOS on an old Chromebook Acer CB3-431.

Works like charm though!

We self-host a Jellyfin instance in our local network for our household.

Our server box is an old workstation machine with 4 TiB of storage and runs Debian.

I'm self-hosting a bunch of stuff all over the place. I've a pi-hole, NAS and a bunch of Discord bots on an e-waste rescue nettop. Then I have a linux server running Ubuntu Server with more Discord bots, Nextcloud, syncplay, some basic websites, including an Element-im stickerpicker. I used to run a Matrix homeserver too, but I got fed up with maintaining that. It has been quite the learning experience and it has been absolutely worth it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wayyy too much for my lil old PC server. Its pegged at 40% swap usage, that's after a RAM upgrade.

Alpine Linux running services in podman. Deployments use ansible.

Got a few disks fused together + snapraid redundancy.

All services go through Nginx, plus a couple static sites generated with hugo.

Authentik for single sign on everywhere I can.

Matrix: Synapse + mautrix WhatsApp, Signal bridges for private chats. A public Conduit server for big online chats. Element and Cinny clients, I can't pick a fave.

Nextcloud because I have to.

Jellyfin for movies, shows and music. The Arr suite for managing my media. Transmission openvpn container for getting Linux ISOs and other legal media.

Vaultwarden super light betwarden server - I love this.

Forgejo git server is fantastic.

Monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana.

Umami for web stats.

Pihole for filtered DNS.

A tiny minetest server for the LAN.

That's pretty much it. I love this thing.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

...and other legal media...

Lol

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Currently just running an SMB share and paperless on my Turing Pi v2, which only has one 8gb Pi at the moment. Hoping to get more Pis and run more things soon.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years 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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Across four Raspberry Pi 4's, a Synology DS918+, and a Protecli Vault 4 (formerly my pfSense firewall) I currently have the following running:

  • Pi-hole - Two instances providing DNS for the household
  • PiVPN - Primary way I VPN into the house when I'm out
  • Portainer - Quick way to check on the status of my Docker containers
  • Homebridge - Bring the various IoT's into the Appleverse
  • PiAware - I'm a plane geek
  • Minecraft - Game server for the kids
  • Veloren - Game server for me
  • Plex - Movies!
  • Pi-Star - I'm also an amateur radio geek
  • And a test Lemmy instance to play around with - why not

I am running a Ryzen 5700x with 48GB of RAM. I use it as my always on desktop/gaming computer/server running Gentoo Linux. The few services I use are:

Pihole NFS (File sharing between my *nix computers) Netatalk (AFP File sharing between my PowerPC macs) Samba (Media sharing to an old laptop running LibreElec)

It's not a lot but it makes everything so much easier.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Let me see...

Monica Linx Nextcloud ArchiveBox Dashy Home Assistant And a few more services like jDownloader, nzbget etc

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.
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

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