  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).

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. πŸ’“

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).

Hello selfhosters.

Here's my list of stuff:

On a VPS hosted in Germany:

On my home server (my old gaming PC, repurposed)

  • Proxmox to manage several containers/VMs:
    • OPNsense Firewall
    • HomeAssistant
    • Pihole
    • Gitlab
    • Jellyfin
[–] MigratingtoLemmy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hi, thanks for your comment! I just visited your blog and noticed that it loads fairly quickly: I assume you must have some sort of CDN set up. Could you point me to how you went about setting up the CDN for your domain/website? Thanks!

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
[–] CodeGameEat@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Since I'm moving very soon I'm also redoing everything, so this more of a "soon-to-be" than a current, but I will have:

3x ryzen 5600 w/ 32gb of ECC ram, 10gb network and some enterprise disks 1x mikrotik switch 1x mikrotik router

And I will host, using Kubernetes (Talos OS):

  • ceph
  • owncloud infinite scale
  • Immich
  • Jellyfin
  • Homeassistant
  • Hashicorp vault
  • Oneuptime
  • gitea
  • plane
  • actual (finance software)
  • probably forgetting some stuff
[–] capacitor@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How do you find actual? I couldn't really get to grips with it. Although it certainly seemed sleeker than Firefly III.

[–] CodeGameEat@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 months ago

It's pretty good and it's the only open source solution that managed to import transactions from bank statements with few mistakes. but my problem is always to solve conflicts. And I'm always coming back to simple spreadsheets as i can plan some things, do projections with more control.

[–] Teng@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago (2 children)

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

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

[–] 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).

[–] Landrin201@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I'm just getting my server up and running! Previously it only ran Honeassistant.

Now it runs proxmox, which boots 2 vms, one for HAOS and another for Debian. On the Debian vm there is currently Plex, nextcloud, and some -arr apps.

8 also have a separate raspberry pi pihole. I've had that going for years now, I think I first made it 2019.

[–] dreamfinder@dis.ney.ink 1 points 2 years ago

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)

[–] 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
[–] Torty@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Plex and a web app I wrote for a Twitch community I moderate.

Plex is on a server in the Netherlands and the web app is just AWS. I would've hosted on some spare hardware but my internet is notoriously trash and I didn't want to risk it going down while people are playing in the app.

Plex I might move onto a NAS at some point but I'm just too lazy lol.

[–] beigegull@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I've got a couple VPSes, hosting

  • Mailcow, because email is identity.
  • Asterisk, because phone #s are also identity.
  • Matrix-Synapse, for personal messaging even though XMPP is probably better.
  • ttrss, even though it's junk software with a jerk developer.
  • A bunch of self-developed web apps

Self hosting email is obnoxious, but it's also one of the only remnants of the traditional distributed internet that's still broadly accepted.

I just got going on matrix and I wish there were better XMPP iOS apps. Chat services without friends don’t work and bad iOS apps keeps people away. After all this time there isn’t a good adoption of XMPP for iOS except iMessage I guess.

[–] Anarch157a@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Have you tried FreshRSS for feeds ? I'm pretty happy with it.

[–] Audalin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I have a MediaWiki instance on my laptop (I've found the features of all other wikis/mindmaps/knowledge databases decisively insufficient after having a taste of MW templates, Semantic MediaWiki and Scribunto).

Also some smaller things like pihole-standalone, Jellyfin and dictd.

Curious what you use a local version of MediaWiki for?

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

I run a bunch of bots, some databases plus

  • Jellyfin
  • Unifi controller
  • Radar
  • Sonarr
  • Lidarr
  • Bazarr
  • nzbhydra2
  • Sabnzbd
  • Heimdall
  • Twitch points miner 2
[–] Ascrod@midwest.social 1 points 10 months 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.

[–] 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.

  • 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.

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

[–] Nerrad@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I host one of the worlds last gopher sites. And some Telegram bots, on Raspberry Pi's.

[–] Cyber@feddit.uk 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wow, is Gopher still a thing?

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

Sure is. There is now Flask Gopher for building gopher sites in Python.
