I have 4 home servers. 1 running pfsense, 1 running truenas, 1 running proxmox, and 1 is a cloud key gen2 for unifi that I got for free

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Debian with Yunohost.

[–] aBundleOfFerrets@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

One with Arch that runs gameservers for my friends, and another that runs Proxmox filled with either Arch or Debian in the containers depending on what it is in them.

[–] wagesj45@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

Proxmox on physical servers hosting a variety of vanilla Debian installations. I have a physical router running pfsense as well as two HP miniservers running OpenMediaVault.

[–] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

Windows Hyper-V Server on the host with most of the VM's split between Ubuntu and Debian. I also have two Windows VM's that I keep out of necessity.

Gentoo always and for everything!

Ubuntu, but I'm very strongly considering switching out to Debian or Rocky. Ubuntu has a lot of really unnecessary cruft that I think I'd be better off without.

I use Fedora on my laptop now, so going the RHEL/Rocky/Alma route for my servers is really tempting. Especially as I'm also considering switching to Podman.

[–] melandroph@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

I'm currently on ubuntu and fedora. I'd love to try coreos

[–] fiendishplan@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Fedora

XCP-ng on my virtualization host
TrueNAS Core on my NAS
Ubuntu Server on my Jellyfin media server
Debian on my other server that I use for testing purposes
DietPi on my Raspberry Pi

Proxmox, Openmediavault, Ubuntu Server. Mostly because I'm lazy and I grew up using Ubuntu.

[–] kylian0087@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

A few actually.

Rocky Linux 9, XCP-NG, Windows server 2022 datacenter

Different usecasses.

[–] NarrativeBear@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

My setup consists of the following:

Unraid, most services I self host run in docker here. Things like plex/jellyfin, nextcloud, unifi could controller.

Proxmox, used to virtualize my pfsense after I moved away from my unifi USG router. A few Linux and Debian headless virtual machines run here as well. Had pihole virtualized here as well but switched over to pfBlockerNG to consolidate.

TrueNAS, all my media shares. I also sync my desktop environments here to have a consistent windows desktop across my desktops and laptops.

Home assistant running on home assistant yellow. Runs a few add-on services.

Ubuntu and WinServer2019 vms split over a proxmox-machine and server2019-hyperv-machine

2 each for replication.

[–] TexMexBazooka@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

I have several servers I’ve acquired over the years setup in a proxmox cluster

[–] antihumanitarian@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Arch for stuff I have physical access to. Nothing's ever gone wrong, so it's worth it for the immediate updates and consistency with my other systems. For VPS I use Debian though, occasionally the unstable/Sid branch if I really need the latest updates. There are almost always Debian images available on a VPS.

Alpine on Pi4.
LMDE on recycled AMD systems (phenoms, opterons, FM2 APUs, oh and a recently dead bulldozer fx-8150).
TrueNAS, OPNsense on dedicated hardware.
VMware ESXi on my older workstations (currently transitioning toward LXD/Incus and ~~XPG-ng~~ XCP-ng with Xen Orchestra).

[–] nixcamic@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Ubuntu server w/ zfs on the main.

Have a little atom hp home server at my parents house that uses almost no power, that runs freebsd x86, zerotier one, and kopia. Free cloud backup 😁

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Arch which is great, but I want to move to FreeBSD or Proxmox for security reasons

[–] captainsiscold@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

Fedora Server, with most of the services I need running via Docker.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 2 points 2 years ago

Mythbuntu. It started its life as a MythTV server.

[–] different_base@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Fedora Server
