Selfhosted

Got 2 24/7 runners in my home:

1. Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Server on a tiny Dell Optiplex 7000 server (Intel 12700T), strapped under my desk, hosting everything in docker:

• Plex
• *arrs, on top of a Gluetun container for privacy
• QBittorrent, to download big files, like ... eh ... linux distributions
• NginX Proxy Manager
• PhotoPrism (I subscribe, it's awesome, cannot recommend it enough)
• Portainer, as a management interface
• Wireguard VPN server, to enable me to get into my LAN and prevent having to expose anything to the public internet.
• Watchtower, for keeping things up to date.

2. A Synology 718+ with 10 TB in a a dual SHR RAID.

• PhotoPrism storage
• Plex media storage

In addition, I'm hosting a couple of Wireguard VPS in the US and a Nordic country to give me access to regional content (I pay for a few regional services through friends living there - i.e. they pay monthly and I pay them yearly for an account on a region-locked service) - not sure if that counts as "self-hosting" :)

Unraid OS Plus

i7-3700K, 16GB DDR3 RAM, 32TB

• 2x Wordpress sites
• Prowlarr / Radarr / Sonarr / qBittorrent
• Emby
• Home Assistant
• CTBRec
• Immich
• Reactle

My current homelab build is a 5950X w/128GB and... well it's more complicated than that.

Currently running in Proxmox (in no particular order!):

• LinuxGSM - game servers
• Multicraft - Minecraft servers
• Zammad helpdesk (for a non-critical service, hosting at home as failover)
• Plex - using Nvidia T600 for transcoding
• PopOS compute VMs x2 - one of which currently running InvokeAI with 2xGPU, 40GB VRAM total
• Windows 10 gaming VM (was for passthrough, hardly used now!)
• Docker, including:

1. Channels DVR - live TV streaming/recording
2. Deemix - music downloader
3. Flame - homepage
4. Gogs x2 - Git repositories
5. Nginx Proxy Manager
6. Nzbget - Usenet downloader
7. Prowlarr - indexer
8. Qbittorrentvpn - VPN and torrent downloader
9. Radarr - movies
10. Requestrr - Discord -arr request bot
11. Sonarr - TV
12. Uptime-Kuma x2 - uptime bots
13. Wallabag - bookmarks

Server 1 OS: Debian Nextcloud Plex

Server 2 (raspberry pi) OS: Raspbian Lite PiHole PiVPN

Running Unraid. Adding more slowly. Moved over from an old windows PC hosting a bunch to Unraid last year. Keep adding more Dockers.

• Plex - Media
• *Arrs, Sabnzb and QBitorrent for... Linux ISO downloading
• Minecraft (Vanilla)
• Minecraft Modded (AllTheMods8)
• Foundry VTT - For my D&D game

Planning on doing Nextcloud for a NAS feel for non media sharing with Friends

And probably a Calibre or something for eBooks and something for Audiobooks eventually

Part of my Reddit exodus plan was to get serious about my RSS setup.

I've settled on:

• FreshRSS as my feed manager (supported by Reeder app in iOS and MacOS)
• FiveFilters Full Text extractor
• rss-proxy site scraper

I may experiment with some replacements for rss-proxy, as I've run into a couple sites it doesn't scrape well, but FreshRSS and FiveFilters have been smashing successes.

Right now only mail server and Bitwarden server. I’m thinking of running lemmy instance

Mostly WordPress sites. But do have experience with Mastodon self hosting

I have a Proxmox on and old laptop with Nextcloud, Etherpad, OpenmediaVault and some random test. I have also a Raspberry Pi2 with Dashy and HomeAssistant

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.

I've been trying to get docker swarm running across my 4 rpi's, but traefik hasn't been able to discover services (can find them on the same node if the network is a bridge, can't find anything with overlay network) which has been frustrating to try to figure out the problem. That said, here is what I plan to host on the swarm:

• traefik
• grocy
• nextcloud
• vaultwarden
• plex
• nginx (portfolio website that I currently just have on GitHub pages)
• lemmy instance (for some of you beautiful bastards)
• readarr, sonarr, readarr, lidarr, prowlarr, sabnzb, and qbittorrent

Pi4 with an usb->m.2 1TB drive with nextcloud. Has been working like a charm so far

My media library over SSHFS. The server runs Debian 11 and the client is an old Linux Mint laptop in my basement hooked up to a TV. The laptop only has access to my local network.

Lots. I have 2 proxmox hypervisors and 3 Raspberry Pi's; my OS of choice for servers is Ubuntu Server or Raspbian.

• ISC-DHCP-Server (DHCP)
• Bind9 (DNS)
• Pihole (pihole upstreams to bind9) (More DNS with ad and content blocking)
• OpenLDAP (Directory)
• Jellyfin (Media)
• Nextcloud (General google drive replacement)
• Vaultwarden (password Vault)
• Asterisk (Phone)
• EasyRSA Certificate Authority (Certificates)
• Minecraft (Gaming!)
• HomeAssistant (Home Automation)
• Octoprint (3D Printing)
• Shinobi (Security Cameras)
• Multiple Apache Websites (Web)
• Exim4 mail relay (Mail)

Experimental:

• Photoprism (Photo Sharing)
• tt-rss (RSS Reader)-

This is my little setup at work

Kubernetes cluster (created by kubespray)

• "Glue" services:
  • nginx ingress controller (automatically sets up nginx vhosts for Kubernetes apps)
  • cert-manager (gets SSL certificates from Let's Encrypt for any apps that need them)
  • MetalLB (finds and provides an IP for Kubernetes services)
  • rook (storage provisioner--I have a few partitions & drives dedicated for rook to provide storage to the apps on the cluster)
• Apps:
  • GitLab (via GitLab helm chart which brings along nginx ingress and cert-manager)
  • Nextcloud (via Nextcloud helm chart)
  • Mattermost (via Mattermost helm chart)
  • Rancher
• Apps deployed via GitLab CI/CD (primarily through Auto DevOps):
  • Company website
  • Firmware updates for embedded systems
  • Mobile apps

Unfortunately much less and much less efficiently than I'd like; atm it's Plex on an old Windows 7 laptop, and an SMB/NFS server on a Rock64 with an 8TB external hard drive.

Quassal Core on a linode, but that's cloud VPS, not my hardware, so not really self-hosting, even if I'm directly handling the OS and configuration.

I'd like to set up more. Ideally I'd like to set up two RAID backup servers, at seperate buildings, and have everything within the building back up to the local server multiple times per day, then have the servers perform incremental backups to each other once a day. ideally running on something small and cheap that I can leave in my dad's basment next to his router; "I got backups set up dad, it's this machine, you can pretty much ignore it, but let me know if you happen to notice it not running."

Figuring out Borg would be nice; dad's laptop is of course Windows, which Borg doesn't play nice with, but from the server on his end on, it'd all be linux. I just need to get a couple low-power high-storage boxen built.

I've got 3 "servers" at the moment running lots of fun services.

Dell Optiplex Tower

• Sevarr Suite
• Audiobookshelf
• Calibre/Calibre-Web
• Nextcloud
• FreshRSS
• Paperless
• Linkding
• Dillinger
• HomeAssistant
• Mealie
• WikiJS
• Gitea
• PiHole
• Homepage

Old Laptop

• Project Zomboid Server
• Minecraft Server
• copyparty
• Tinfoil/NUT

Raspi4

• Klipper/Mainsail
• Obico
• VanDam

I also run Plex off of my Desktop, but I plan to build a new server soon to replace the Optiplex that I can migrate it to. I'm also going to be integrating Authentik. Everything is managed using Yacht and running on Ubuntu, then proxied through Cloudflare or tunnelled through Tailscale.

• NAS: TrueNAS
• HomeKit Bridge: HomeBridge
• Spelling/Grammar: LanguageTool Server
• DBs: MariaDB, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Influx
• In-memory caches: Memcached, Reddis
• Dashboards/Alerting: Grafana
• File Storage/Sharing: Nextcloud
• Metrics/Logs: Prometheus, Mimir
• Media: Plex

Most of these are run on a RPi4 cluster (Consul as mesh/discovery, Nomad for orchestration). This list doesn't include stuff on the router/firewall (WG, DNS, filtering, blah blah blah... )

• buildbot for archlinux package builds
• dovecot with fetchmail for mail retrieval
• fail2ban with very strict rules against all those bots
• gitea for my own projects
• home-assistant with some usual backend stuff like knxd, zigbee2mqtt, mosquitto
• navidrome for the music collection
• nextcloud with very few apps
• vdr for recording TV shows from satellite with a smartcard reader for the local television smartcard
• octoprint on the 3D printer
• pacoloco, an archlinux package cache
• paperless for document management
• teamspeak

All services are configured and deployed using saltstack and monitored with sensu. I do not use containers but I have all services hardened by hardening the systemd service and/or apparmor profiles.

Backups are done using btrbk.

I've got a Nextcloud instance that I've run for a few years. Love it. At home I have an Odroid H3+ with 64GB of ram running Openmediavault. Got about a dozen containers running on that. I need to play with it more and use that ram. I did try to get Boinc running on it but it, sadly, kept shutting down. I'll have to find a another way to contribute to science.

Intel nuc10i7FNH on Ubuntu Pro running Plex, Tautulli, and a Fabric Minecraft server.

RPi3b+ running pihole/unbound and PiVPN

Proxmox on i7-6700 32GB -- VMs are debian unless otherwise specified:

-Home Assistant (HAOS)

-motionEye

-openmediavault

-Plex, Ombi, sonarr, radarr (Windows) -- someday I will migrate all of this to debian VMs

• Nextcloud
• Jitsi
• Matrix
• NAS file server
• Media center (NAS + OSMC)
• Seedbox
• A couple of random sites

I don't self-host much at the moment

Currently: RPi4 with CasaOS, running Pihole and Home Assistant, which I honestly rarely use, unfortunately.

Potentially planned: -Jellyfin -Rustdesk server -Some samba solution on RPi4 for my hdd I currently have hooked to my router, any advice on what I should look into for that would be appreciated.
