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.

Almost everything has been mentioned already so I just stick with the unusual: I host a private MediaWiki instance for note taking in my pen and paper rounds. It's amazing once the other players got a bit more comfortable how to use it well regarding templates, categories and articles. My only regret is that I didn't set up new instances per gaming group.

Im currently new to self hosting, however I've started running my own website using NGINX (pronounced en-ginks of course) on a raspberry pi. It's handling quite well, the most activity I've known of is my friend trying to DoS it by opening a bunch of tabs on it. Next steps: Keeping track of connections and DDoS protection (w/o cloudfare. Any suggestions?)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Classic useless answer but nothing ATM 🙃. I've been travelling for a few months and won't be able to host anything til I get home mid July. However, I do have plans to host a website or two, maybe even a Bookwyrm, Lemmy or Mastodon instance.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

miniflux, nitter, seafile on my local RPi4

pondered pixelfed (but they don't have docker image) and calckey (no arm one)...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

File storage, mainly. I have 2 NAS devices (one Synology I picked up in 2014, and an Unraid device I just built a couple months ago) - the former holds 13TB and the latter currently holds 35TB with plans to bring it to 100TB as I get money for more drives.

The Unraid system has a Youtube-dl instance running to auto-pull videos from the channels I follow, and I also run my Plex server from it. The Synology only has a Git server on it that I use to keep local copies of repos that I store on GitHub, along with personal projects that I'd rather not publish (even as private repos) in the cloud.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Syncthing, Plex, and DokuWiki.

My needs are small but Syncthing is for standard file sync and DokuWiki is for a repository for my family. It's been surprisingly useful to be able to spin and delete up a syncthing folder for some specific thing.

Plex is for my ripped DVDs and also a great way to consume my photos archive without keeping a copy locally on my phone.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

PiHole, Owncast, weechat, Bookwyrm

Maybe I should set up my own matrix instance 🤔

Running on a minisofurm mini pc with 5600h, paid $219 and used spare drives and ram lying around. Used to run 2 raspberry pi 4s but retired those due to updating home assistant via docker getting really old. Proxmox handles things great, like the flexibility and performance boost too, especially just pulling docker images lol, unarchiving was so painful on pi 4.

How about what I'm not self-hosting? Lemmy. If anyone has an up to date guide on self-hosting a single user instance of lemmy that is actually easy to follow, that would be great. I just want to control my user account.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Maybe this will help?

Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi

I really want to get something like a Synology NAS to run a media server / VPN server / PiHole / NAS server on, but I don't have $500-$1000 to drop on new hardware right now.

I have a dedicated server where I run multiple service with podman.

  • Funkwhale (we share musics with a friend)
  • Mobilizon
  • Lemmy
  • Pleroma

All those instance are close for inscriptions they are just for me or friends. I use posftix to relay mail. I have on postgresql instance shared across the services. I use traefik for ssl, I wanted traefik to auto discover the container but it didn't work when I tried maybe it works now.
