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.

What are YOU self-hosting? (lemmy.world)

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 slightly different setup personally! I am actually happily running a Windows Pro server.

For my Drivepool redundant storage, I am utilizing a cool tool I came across years ago called https://stablebit.com/DrivePool and I've been really happy with it!

I RDP into my server a lot for coding projects, and misc things, almost like a secondary computer. Additionally, I enjoy being able to Steam stream several games from it to my phone or laptop on the go. A surprising number of games are playable in this fashion.

Outside of that, I do selfhost multiple serices:

  • Plex, I actually heavily use it as a self-hosted Youtube alternative by leveraging yt-dlp and some personal tooling I wrote that collates downloaded youtube channels into Collections within my Plex (No ads!) -- Shameless plug tomy tool - https://github.com/KJBurnett/plex-youtube-channel-collections
  • Rocket.Chat for chatting with my close friends
  • code-server - a self-hosted vscode environment. You can literally code on an iPad with the capability and power of a Ryzen 7 behind it. Very cool and fun.
  • gitlab (although it seems fairly heavy for my needs, unsure.)
  • Overseerr - Movie/tv show requesting web app tied into my Plex
  • airsonic - Plex also does music but sometimes it seems to be pretty resource heavy. I run Plex with Plexamp simultaneously with airsonic for the service redundancy currently.

Similar setup here, I'm running a Windows server with DrivePool. I've been using DrivePool for over 5 years and I'm a huge fan. I just built a new server and moved all the hard drives over and re-installed DrivePool and it was up and running with no fuss.

I'm running the following:

  • Blue Iris, software NVR for all my home cameras. This is the primary reason I run Windows as the base OS.
  • Plex for maintaining my media collection
  • SABnzbd for downloading from usenet
  • Omada Controller for managing my TP-Link EAP router, switches, and AP's
  • Pi-Hole, I recently set up a pi-hole for ad blocking and getting some more visibility on what's going on in my network
  • Wireguard for VPN access. I switched from OpenVPN a year ago and am super impressed with it.
  • LAMP server to run some scripts to tie together different home automation products/APIs
  • Mealie - Meal/food tracking website I read about on this post actually. Just installed it and am playing around with. Gotta convince the wife to use it!
  • Hyper-V to run linux VMs.
  • Docker/Portainer on a Debian VM
