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.

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.

Last year I downsized from an old HP tower server with a xeon, and 8x 1tb SAS HDDs, to a single Intel NUC with i5 and 4x 4TB SATA HDDs.

I run Proxmox on it, with several VMs.

  • Gerbera - DLNA/Upnp server for streaming my media
  • Shinobi - monitors and records my security cameras
  • Syncthing - for keeping backups of important things from my laptop and my phone and my wife's phone.
  • A container with a Python script that is constantly monitoring my solar panel energy production and sends it to pvoutput.org
  • Some VMs with different versions of Centos and PHP for developing and testing webapps on.

I also have a raspberry pi with home assistant and a ZigBee USB adapter, for controlling the lighting in my house.

From what you are doing with your solar monitoring, you might possibly be interested in this community:

Mostly just a nodejs server running a proxy that I use to mitm myself, editing a file to fix events and the arena in angry birds epic lol

VFIO KVM/ QEMU GPU passthrough for Windows VM for Solidworks. A forked program that I've turned into something completely different, I took some random http server from github and made it convert PDFs to Excel, linked it to my website so it can be used. Got a small network share for all the movies I've got which is kinda a lot Made a VM with a dedicated nic for managing my websites

Everything is on One PC, got 4 more systems that have no purpose and are there if this one dies so I have reserve. Any ideas on how to repurpose them? Also on todo list is an self hosted mail server that I'm yet to do because of domain issues. They are expensive lol

I've been running Arch Linux on a Gigabyte Brix with two USB HDDs for... years now. At least 8. On and off, there were several services, but mostly, this device is meant to host

  • NFS and SMB file shares
  • syncthing, because I can't get my Macbook to use the network shares in a performant way
  • plex media server
  • nginx with mariadb for a privately hosted database of a German TV show (Tatort) and also a self-made expense tracker
  • paperless-ngx for electronic document management
  • traefik as a reverse proxy
  • heimdall to remind me what's there :)
  • a couple statically generated web sites
  • changedetection.io to check some websites for changes
  • watchtower to at least notify me when new docker images are available
  • portainer to have kind of a dashboard for all services
  • youtube-dl-material
  • dokuwiki as a second brain

Since Arch Linux is rolling, it sometimes simply breaks after an update. But since the services have gotten more critical for me over time (especially plex :) ) I plan on putting some of the services to a host in the cloud behind a WireGuard VPN. Also, the Brix should be re-installed with Ubuntu or Debian some day.

A full setup around managing and download multimedia content

  • Jellyfin for playing everywhere
  • Sonarr and Radarr for automatically renaming and sorting
  • Prowlarr and QBittorrent for downloading
  • Filebrowser as a kind of light-weight cloud
  • Caddy docker proxy for handling every service a subdomain
  • And a bunch of other tools for sysadmin tasks

I feel like I'm late, but this is what I'm hosting.

I'm running a single node microk8s cluster on a dual xeon (20 cores each for a total of 40 cores) server with (only) 64 gb ram. Wish I could do more but this is on a microatx dual slot motherboard that maxes at 64gb.

I have this attached to a 72tb das.

I currently live in an RV so I had to downsize my bare metal cluster to 1. It's sufficient for now 😊

This is pretty cool! I also run Kubernetes at home
