Thinking of self-hosting some basic tools; SearxNG, Bitwarden, Lemmy.

What kind of tools are you self-hosting right now? Which ones are easy to manage, which ones are awkward? 👀

  • Nextcloud. Not too complex but I feel like it's getting heavier month by month and I'm scared of having it turn into full-fledged bloatware. It already has an autoplaying video in the about screen so the slope is getting ever so much slippier...
  • Forgejo, swapped from Gitea just a while ago. They're more or less identical but I have stronger trust in Codeberg
  • Nitter
  • Some half-assed nginx build with nginx-http-flv so I can stream stuff between friends. It works OK but it feels like there's newer better options, I just haven't cared to look into it
  • Weird half-assed email setup that does conform to all funky modern bells and whistles somehow despite being an unholy mixture of Postfix, rspamd, Dovecot and Maddy. I'm scared to touch any part of it. Not used for anything too overly serious
  • Headless qBittorrent but I don't think I've actually used it in years

I host the following off of the top of my head, in no particular order. Some are hosted at home on a combination of a Raspberry Pi 4 and a Synology DS1821+ NAS, some are hosted on a dedicated server:

  • Bitwarden
  • GitLab
  • Pi-hole
  • Miniflux
  • Previously I used NginxProxyManager, now I just use Caddy
  • Samba/FTP server
  • Seafile
  • URL shortener at cmd.gg
  • Syncthing
  • ResilioSync
  • qBitTorrent
  • Glances
  • VirtualDSM to isolate a friend's media and hosting from my own on the NAS
  • HomeAssistant
  • Mastodon
  • Kbin
  • A couple of MOOs
  • Bitlbee
  • Wordpress/Classicpress
  • Overpass (OpenStreetMap API)
  • Icecast - not sure why I host this anymore...
  • MinIO as a restic backup target
  • UniFi controller

I also run PFSense at home for my router, on a Protectli Vault, if that counts as self-hosting. Seems more like sysadmin, but there you go. I use Uptimerobot to monitor everything and create sleek public status pages.

I had no idea you could host your own Bitwarden instance. The whole reason I moved to Bitwarden in the first place was one of the Lastpass hacks, being in control of my own password manager instance from my favorite password manager would be amazing. Is it free to self- host?

Also curious about your UniFi controller, are you considering a DM/DM Pro a 'self-hosted' controller or do you use one of those Dockerized container solutions?

I get my hosting for free from my workplace, which is cool but doesn't give me much leeway on what I can install. It's a plain PHP/MySQL system. Docker is out, and a lot of stuff with it. I'd run a server from apartment if I could, since I'm sitting on piles of old hardware, but I've yet to figure a way around my ever-changing IP address.

Right now, I have FreshRSS and my own websites, and Rss Bridge

I'd love to run more "Old School Tools", I just need to find them :)
