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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I have a dietPi on a RapsberryPi2 where I run a vaultwarden instance and pi-hole
Too many things:
Services:
Pihole with UnboundMatrixcryptpadseafileVaultwardenmailcowpterodactyl running Minecraft, Valheim, and Terraria serversemby though I am planning the switch to JellyfinPaperless-NGXPhotoprismSearxNGWallabagGhostMinifluxPrivateBinCalibre-web and KavitaNitter and Troddit (for now...)Home Assistant and FrigateYOURLSCode-serverLinkdingChangedetection.ioLanguageToolUptime Kuma
And more, but those are what I use the most.
Currently just running an SMB share and paperless on my Turing Pi v2, which only has one 8gb Pi at the moment. Hoping to get more Pis and run more things soon.
I plan on getting a server this summer (building it myself), and the things I have planned this far:
- bitwarden
- monica
- minecraft
- factorio
- email server
- maybe pihole
- maybe lemmy
- jellyfin
Edit: forgot jellyfin
Im hosting the following services on a small cloud VM running k3s:
- teamspeak3 + mariadb
- whoogle search
Jellyfin on a RPi3, PiHole on a PiZero, and more in the near future after getting some great ideas from you all!
Unifi controller is the only 'real' service I actually keep running. I have various VMs running on Proxmox that I mostly use for testing. Even though I have two physical servers with plenty of compute and memory available, backed by a large NAS and all of hanging off a UPS, I just don't feel comfortable in self-hosting things I deem critical.
Let me see...
Monica Linx Nextcloud ArchiveBox Dashy Home Assistant And a few more services like jDownloader, nzbget etc
Mail server, pi-hole, mediawiki, kanboard, Tiny Tiny RSS, Baïkal, Minetest, Transmission, Jellyfin, Filestash and some homebrew.
I use Wireguard to access all that from outside my network. This way, my mail server only exposes smtp.
- whats your opinion on selfhosting mail servers?
- why have you chosen baikal over radicale?
- are you happy with filestash? im torn between filestash and filebrowser

Portainer

Adguard home

Home assistant
-
Influxdb

Grafana

Frigate NVR
-
Sonarr
-
Lidarr

Plex
All on Debian mini PC N5095
What's the performance of Frigate like on an N5095? I've got a J5105 that I'm tempted to use for a few of my cameras, but worried I'll be wasting my time.
Ever since 0.12.0 released the performance is pretty good actually. I run one 1440p cam, three 1080n cam with object detection, and the cpu usage is 28% when idle and went up to 80% when detecting.
@proycon Proxmox on an HP Z620 (2x Xeon E5-2670, 16 cores, 64GB RAM)
Inside of that I run:
Emby
AMP (game server software)
Moodle (for content development, currently idle)
Home Assistant
Paperless-ngx
Grocy (just installed recently)
+ an assortment of VMs for various purposes
(Edit: for anyone who uses Proxmox: I find the scripts here tteck.github.io/Proxmox/ to be very helpful is quickly spinning up LXC's)
I also have an OPNSense firewall, a Pihole, and a Synology NAS.
Other than my game servers and Emby, which get port forwarding through my OPNSense firewall, everything stays internal to my network. I'm thinking of learning wireguard so I can remote into my network, but that's not a high priority.
Indigo Home automation software
HomeBridge
Time Machine
Plex Media Server
I run a Hubzilla instance on my hosting provider, but that’s probably coming down shortly. Hubzilla is weird, the community is full of grumpy old men, and engagement is low.
My general rule is to not self host things that are good enough / free (as in $$ not FOSS). So I don't host email or music. I'm not a huge music person so spotify does the job, and gmail's been great since it started.
Things I do host
- media server (jellyfin + sonarr/radarr etc)
- stable diffusion image generation server
- games (starbound mostly, killed minecraft after microsoft takeover)
- lemmy
- comics/manga server (komga)
- yt-dl web interface
I use the following a lot:
- Nextcloud for files, calendar and contacts
- synapse + a few brudges for IM
- mail server
- tandoor for recipes and grocery shopping lists
- gitea
- wireguard
- miniflux
- rmfakecloud And from time to time:
- jellyfin
- wallabag
Tandoor is imho somewhat overlooked and really nice.
Prefacing by saying my lab is severely breaking ~~some~~ a lot of best practices due to hardware availability limitations
Proxmox box (24GB DDR3, E3-1230)
- Ubuntu LTS Dedicated Minecraft server
- Windows 10 Dedicated V Rising server
- Ubuntu LTS for Plex
- TrueNAS
- Coming Soon: Jelu Server - a self-hosted Goodreads replacement
Raspberry Pi 2B+
- PiHole
OptiPlex 7020 sff (8GB DDR3, i5-4590)
- Bitwarden
I have DietPi running on an RPi 4 with 4GB RAM.
Everything here is hosted in docker containers:
- Portainer (docker management)
- Nginx Proxy Manager (for reverse proxy)
- Nextcloud (file storage + calendar)
- Kanboard (task management + kanban board)
- Homepage
- Transmission (behind VPN with Flood web frontend)
- Jellyfin media server
- A Discord bot for my server
- Watchman, my RSS feed to Kindle setup (https://github.com/andrwcnln/watchman)
I've probably forgotten some things but that's the main bulk of it. Can't recommend DietPi enough if you are looking for a super lightweight OS for you Pi server, has been perfect for me so far. Here are some things I am looking to host in the future too:
- ntfy (for push notifications)
- Apache server for my websites
- Pi-hole
- Plausible (a replacement for Google analytics for websites)
- Vaultwarden
Well, I'm not running it currently for reasons, but I used to host a Jellyfin media server on my desktop, but that was inconvenient as it was the desktop I was actually using. Eventually I switched from Pop!_OS to Fedora which lacked Jellyfin transcoding support and I had to stop hosting it. In a few days I should get a 1050ti to complete the setup and then I will be back up and running on my first dedicated server. I will probably look in to hosting a mail server, a nas, bitwarden, and possibly a librex or searx search engine on it once it is up and running. It is an old system with 3gb of ddr2 and an athelon 64 x2 from 2005 but it should do the trick for everything I want out of it. Right now I am just hoping that the new GPU doesn't trigger current protection on the cheapo PSU that is in there.
Edit: I'm also going to set up an i2p seedbox for obscure torrents.

All subdomains on apache proxies.. its a bit of a mess though. Whenever it comes to update something I can never remember how I installed it. Theres a heady mix of script installs, deb installs, source installs. I've got Gitea ready to update but I have no idea what method I used to install it :')
