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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  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).

  6. No trolling.

I recognize this will vary depending on how much you self-host, so I'm curious about the range of experiences from the few self-hosted things to the many self-hosted things.

Also how might you compare it to other maintenance of your other online systems (e.g. personal computer/phone/etc.)?

30 docker stacks

5mins a day involving updates and checking github for release notes

15 minutes a day "acquiring" stuff for the server

I just did a big upgrade to my "home lab" (got a new switch and moved it out of my bedroom), which required some maintenance in the days after the upgrade... Running a new ethernet cable, because the old one just couldn't heck doing gigabit, reconfiguring my router and AP, just general stuff like that.

Other than that and my DHCP/DNS VM sometimes forgetting to autostart after a power outage, pretty much 0 maintenance

Depends what are you doing. Something like keep base os patched is pretty much nil efforts. Some apps more problematic than others. Home Assistant is always a pain to upgrade and something like postfix is requires nearly 0 maintenance.

Almost none now that i automated updates and a few other things with kestra and ansible. I need to figure out alerting in wazuh and then it will probably drop to none.

Sometimes its real easy and I‘m taking a month off and nothing breaks. Then I have times where I want to add new services or optimize stuff. This can take forever. Right now I‘m building object storage behind a vpn.

@ALostInquirer@lemm.ee Not much tbh, I host email, a git server, activitypub, change detector, healthchecks, libreddit and another dozen of services in 3 different servers.

Every now and then I check manually the backups, because it is the sane thing to do. Also I try some new services on docker, but that is less and less common tbh.

That must be why it stopped working ;-)

Does 48 hours not getting a reverse proxy working count?

It’s FreeNAS and I don’t really hoast anything but the plex server… so 48 hours.

If deleting files counts 10 days a year, if not 1 day a year.

Very little. Thanks to Docker + Watchtower I don't even have to check for updates to software. Everything is automatic.

Since scrapping systemd, a hell of a lot less but it can occasionally be a bit of messing about when my dynamic ip gets reassigned.
