• Forgejo for private git repos, coz F GitHub (F as in paying respect obviously... :v)
• Portainer, though don't use much as of late as I got used to the CLI
• qBittorrent for Linux ISOs. No, really, I use it to download Linux ISOs :v
• WireGuard, several instances, some for accessing specific services, one for accessing GeoIP blocked content when traveling
• Vaultwarden for managing passwords
• Home Assistant for managing a couple of sensors
• Nginx Proxy Manager for managing hosts
• TeamSpeak 6, just playing around with the beta for now
• Apache Subversion for private SVN repos

As for the hardware:

• A Raspberry pi 4 running Docker containers
• A Dell Wyse 5070 (16GB) running Proxmox with mainly Alpine Linux VMs

My stack keeps growing, of course. Isn't that the way of the selfhoster? But so far, I've got it down to only ones I use every day. (Lesser-known ones are linked.)

• Firefly III (+ Pico)
• Jellyfin
• Komga
• Grimmory

Hello

Let's have a look at the inventory

• RPI 4B

  • OpenHab (Openhabian actually, so some additional services like Zigbee2MQTT or Grafana)

• HP EliteDesk 800 G2 i5-6500T, 8GiB RAM - this one is currently the mainstay of my lab, running containers with docker-compose

  • Nginx as reverse proxy (+ fail2ban, letsencrypt)
  • Paperless-ngx (+ Redis, Tika, Gotenberg)
  • Jellyfin
  • Minecraft server (+ Mapcrafter)
  • ddclient
  • Heimdall

• Dell OptiPlex 7060 Micro i7-8700T 32GiB RAM

  • I've gotten this one fairly recently. A real bargain - costed as much as the CPU alone and was in pristine condition. I will be migrating the workload from EliteDesk to this one. I decided to try ProxMox this time though, so I need to learn a bit first. Also perhaps add a second SSD

I joined to learn, still not self-hosting anything, but I intend to use an 11yo Compaq laptop (i5, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD) as a server while I'm still practicing. I intend to self-host a lemmy instance and a nextcloud server.

Thanks for everything you guys have been sharing I've already got some good leads, gonna try out YunoHost for starters

I will go first 😌

I selfhost codimd, vaultwarden, kuma, immich, home assistant, trilium, hugo, gotify, wakapi and umami. I have one VPS and one custom built NAS at home.

I read you 👀🦎

I have a used Lenovo Thinkcentre mini with an i3-7100T and 16gb RAM. I have Ubuntu server LTS installed on it and I run everything in docker containers.

I host:

• jellyfin server for my friends and family
• qbittorrent to download for the JF server(behind a VPN)
• Jellyseerr for requests
• Jackett, Sonarr, and Radarr for downloads
• a Minecraft server

Hello selfhosters.

Here's my list of stuff:

On a VPS hosted in Germany:

• Nextcloud
• Mailcow for my own domain
• A blog (https://www.ninjazumbi.com)
• Wallabag
• FreshRSS
• WireGuard VPN

On my home server (my old gaming PC, repurposed)

• Proxmox to manage several containers/VMs:
  • OPNsense Firewall
  • HomeAssistant
  • Pihole
  • Gitlab
  • Jellyfin

Been self hosting for over a decade at this point. Mix of custom built servers and surplus hardware over the years.

To name a few of my daily servers.

• home assistant
• paperless-ng
• jellyfin
• nextcloud
• blue iris
• audiobook shelf

With docker being so easy I have kind of lost track how much stuff i am hosting. A problem i never thought i would have :)

Hosting a whole bunch of stuff for myself, the family and also the public. For the larger family I'm hosting eMail but using a managed service offering for that (Hetzner). Too old to run my own IMAP/SMTP infrastructure ;)

For a few private societies I'm hosting:

• Mattermost
• NextCloud
• WordPress https://www.uckermark-blog.de/

For the public I host:

• Mastodon at https://hub.uckermark.social
• Mastodon at https://tetrax.de/
• BookWyrm at https://books.mxhdr.net/
• Mobilizon at https://termine.uckermark.social/
• MatrixChat at https://matrix.mxhdr.net
• Element WebUI for Matrix at https://element-web.explain-it.org/

Mostly formyself, but not restricted I'm hosting:

• Pixelfed
• LinkDing for Bookmarks
• Excalidraw
• Grafana
• OverLeaf
• StandardNotes Server
• PiHole
• GitTea
• FreshRSS
• Minio S3-kompatible Object Storage as Backend for Mastodon & Pixelfed (on an old Dell Optiplex at home over my DSL Line)
• GoToSocial Fediverse Client (On a RaspberryPi at home)
• PeerTube for public projects (on the same old Dell OptiPlex)
• PeerTube as private Video Streaming platform (on a Dell Precision 3500 tower)

Most services run in Docker Containers on some VPS at Hetzner. Some stuff runs in Docker Containers on old spare hardware at home.

I have a rented server with 8 Xeon E3-1246 and 64GB at Hetzner where I host:

• Vaultwarden
• Gitlab (git repo, container registry, static blog (pages with Hugo))
• Drawio (Diagrams)
• Kroki (for Gitlab)
• Gitlab runner
• FreshRSS
• Nextcloud
• Redis
• Headscale (Tailscale server)
• Keycloak
• MariaDB
• PostgreSQL
• Plex
• Privacybin
• Wallabag
• Hedgedoc

It's all behind a Traefik instance handling Let's Encrypt and using the Docker socket to route traffic based on labels in docker-compose.yml. Behind these I also run k3s and from time to time some VMs. I also have a 1TB storage pod at Hetzner where I use restic to back everything up from this instance as well as from my home system and laptops.

I've got a couple VPSes, hosting

• Mailcow, because email is identity.
• Asterisk, because phone #s are also identity.
• Matrix-Synapse, for personal messaging even though XMPP is probably better.
• ttrss, even though it's junk software with a jerk developer.
• A bunch of self-developed web apps

Self hosting email is obnoxious, but it's also one of the only remnants of the traditional distributed internet that's still broadly accepted.

A 6 node k3s cluster with a Synology for network storage running:

• Nextcloud
• Authentik SSO
• Paperless
• Vikunja
• Joplin Sync
• Matrix
• Immich
• Mealie
• Gitea
• Home-Assistant
• Node-Red
• Zigbee2mqtt
• MQTT server
• Frigate
• UptimeKuma
• Prometheus and Grafana
• AdGuard Home
• Minio
• Longhorn
• Unifi Controller
• Jellyfin
• Homepage

Managed with FluxCD.

(I'll add links / descriptions later)

I host the following fediverse stuff:

• Lemmy (you're looking at it)
• Mastodon (3 instances)
• Calckey oh sorry, now FireFish
• Pixelfed
• Misskey
• Writefreely
• Funkwhale
• Akkoma (2 instances)
• Peertube

And these are other things I host:

• Kimai2
• Matrix/Synapse
• Silver Bullet
• XWiki (3 instances)
• Cryptpad (2 instances)
• Gitea
• Grafana
• Hedgedoc
• Minecraft
• Nextcloud
• Nginx Proxy Manager
• Paperless-ngx
• TheLounge
• Vaultwarden
• Zabbix
• Zammad

• jellyfin and Plex (in the process of migrating)
• radarr/sonarr
• jackett and deluge
• nextcloud

I've had new hardware in the basement now for a while, going to slap it together and build a k8s cluster on top of rancher/harvester

I have been self hosting things for over 15 years. I now host on 7 computers. I'm proud of the fact that I stay under 100W idle, including 3 Omada WLAN APs and network technology (all via PoE and all is on a UPS). For most of the services i normally used the helper scripts. i'm currently in the process of moving everything to komodo. there should be an lxc for each service or service group, komodo pulls the compose files from gitea and deploys everything.

Proxmox pve0: M910x i5.7500 4x3,4GHz, 32 GB RAM, 256 GB NVMe

i'm happy to have found an entry point and an alternative to reddit here, even though my second post (question about suitable hardware with 32 answers) has already been deleted. hello everyone!

i don't self-host yet, but i have an old pc in my house, i just need to bring it with me to colege, so i can learn and start self-hosting

Currently self-hosting on an old HP Z600 I bought second hand with the following specs:

• CPU — 2x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5660 @ 2.80GHz
• RAM — 96GB ECC DDR3 (6*16GB)
• Disks — 4TB HDD for Ubuntu, 10TB HDD for NextCloud and 2TB Sata SSD for Docker

For services, I'm currently running the following:

Docker

• Portainer — CF Tunnel
• FreshRSS — CF Tunnel
• ArchiveBox — CF Tunnel
• Adguard Home — Local
• 2x Uptime Kuma — CF Tunnel
• LinkAce — CF Tunnel
• TheLounge — CF Tunnel
• Watchtower — Local

For public access dockers

• Feedropolis
• Mirotalk SFU
• FiveFilters RSS
• Taiga
• 2x Mattermost Servers
• 8x Wordpress Staging Sites
• 1x Wordpress Dev Sites

For ubuntu, I'm running a few services and apps like:

• ScreamingFrog -9 sites using LAMP stack
• Aria2c with AriaNG
• NextCloud
• Plex
• 4x WebHooks server for communities
• Couple of API end points using Apache reverse proxy
• OpenVPN
• CrowdSec

Available from internet:

• jellyfin
• jellyseerr
• immich
• paperless-ngx
• owncloud ocis
• traefik
• homarr

Available only from local:

• the *arr stack
• qbittorrent
• jackett
• watchtower
• apprise
• netdata (kinda new, still have to fully understand how it works)
• portainer
• speedtest-tracker
• homepage

Security

All the services available from internet, just goes through traefik to terminate https, I rely on the build in authentication of each service. To add another layer of security, I have fail2ban active on all those services.

I have a public IP, and I have open on my router ports 80, 443, a random port for ssh and vpn.

Hardware:

Memory:
  System RAM: total: 8 GiB available: 7.73 GiB used: 4.46 GiB (57.7%)
  Report: arrays: 1 slots: 4 modules: 2 type: DDR3
CPU:
  Info: 6-core model: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T bits: 64 type: MCP cache: L2: 3 MiB
Graphics:
  Device-1: NVIDIA GP107 [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti] driver: nvidia v: 535.98

docker compose files

All the docker compose files + how I configured everything is available at: https://github.com/simone-viozzi/my-server

Bonus:

Since I like the ability of btrfs to do snapshots, I created all important docker volumes as btrfs subvolumes. Then I created a backup script that literally sends the subvolume (encrypted) to an external cloud. This does not allow incremental backups and most likely is not the best backup solution... but it works... the repo is: https://github.com/simone-viozzi/btrfs2cloud-backup

I welcome any advice / criticism!

I have a 800W solar panel and some home automatization at home. Therefor, I use MQTT & NodeRED.

Hey all, I've been slowly building services on my server over many many years, starting with running a minecraft ftb server, to where I am now, which is 1 primary system(providing the network filesystem) and 2 auxiliary minipc systems my brother in law recently donated. I moved from Docker to Docker Swarm after getting those MiniPC's and enjoying the added compute. Currently my swarm is running:

• PiHole x2 - AdBlocking and Local DNS Management
• Wg-easy - for Wireguard VPN Management
• nginx - for reverse proxy servicing
• authentik - for Authentication and SSO
• Duplicati - for cloud backups(pointing at backblaze buckets)
• Guacamole - for RDP services
• Grafana+Prometheus+Node-Exporter+Cadvisor+AlertManager - for aggregation and system monitoring
• Gatus - single pane of glass monitoring of services(might remove it now that I've started using Grafana)
• diun - monitoring docker image versions and notification
• Bookstack - Personal Knowledge Base system
• Linkwarden - Collaborative Link Sharing and archiving
• Fasten Health - Local Health Records Storage
• SnipeIT - personal asset management
• Affine - self hosted cloud notebook
• Actual - Budgeting Software
• it-tools - for swiss army knife utilities
• kitchenowl - recipes and grocery lists
• Reactive resume - for resume building with AI empowered editing
• Onetimesecret - for burn after reading secret sharing(using it for distributing credentials to my family)
• Searxng - Local Search Aggregation
• Homarr - Personal Dashboarding
• Home Assistant - Smart Home Management
• N8n - Automating codeless workflows
• Ollama and Open-WebUI - personal Agentic AI
• AudioBookshelf - Audiobook streaming and Management
• OwnCloud - local file sharing and storage
• Plex - Video Streaming
• BitMagnet - DHT network sniffer
• syncthing - for transporting data between local and remote systems
• the *Arrs - for acquiring content
• Docspell - for digitizing and storing important documents
• picsur - for local meme storage
• Calibre+Calibre-web - for Ebook management
• Crafty Controller - for Minecraft Server Management
• RomM - For Emulation and ROM Management.

As I go about my day I'm always looking for new and interesting containers to run, and then scrutinizing if they fill a need, replace an existing service with a better version of the same service, or if it's better off not implementing, then I pull them down. this has been a great experience in devops learning and the longer I work on the server the more best practices I put in place and the more I understand why corporate clouds have some of the practices they have. I look forward to poking around in this community looking to help and to find new containers to accrete into my platform.

• Pihole

• Sonarr

• Radarr

• Lidarr

• Notifiarr

• Sabzbd

• Nicotine+

• Kodi

• Plex

• Airsonic

• Nextcloud

• Joplin

• qbittorrent

Currently split between VMs and physicals. I'm refactoring these ,with plans to build out and migrate much of it to a minipc proxmox cluster.

Adding:

• proxmox

• podman/portainer

• unbound

• ngnx proxy mgr

• Solid server

• homepage

• matrix

• searxng

• some sort of mail stack, TBD

I only have a few services:

• jellyfin (media server)
• firefly iii (expense manager)
• freshrss (rss aggregator)
• personal telegram bot to auto convert news link to epub for reading in my ereader

All of the service other than jellyfin is hosted on a vps. Jellyfin is hosted from my home and can be accessed remotely via wireguard. However because my isp doesn't provide a public ip, I need to use my vps as wireguard jump host

Client <-> vps <-> home server

I had a small X.25 network as combination coffee-table and space-heater at one point; this was before most homes had internet. It almost cost me a divorce.

Running Tipi on a five year old chrome box with tailscale as the VPN. Has been running great! Now I'm self hosting

1. Adguard: adblocking inside tailnet & for DNS rewrites
2. Barrage: Nice deluge UI
3. Beszel: Clean & simple server monitoring. I monitor two of my instances & the self hosted setup on this.
4. Beszel Agent: Agent for collecting data for Baszel
5. Deluge: Torrenting
6. Duplicati: Backups with a great UI
7. File Browser: for quick ops
8. Flowise AI: Great drag and drop LLM chat apps builder
9. Immich: The absolute best way to manage pictures
10. Jackett: For the arr stack
11. Jellyfin: Media streaming solution with apps on my phone, TV & laptops
12. Open WebUI: My default LLM chat client now, I no longer pay 20$ for chatGPT but just pay as I go with open webui and chatgpt api key
13. Radarr
14. Sonarr
15. Uptime Kuma: Uptime monitoring for everything
16. Wallos: Subscription management

Tipi is pretty awesome. If you haven't already, check it out!

home assistant, freshrss (and a few related services such as rss-bridge), nitter and piped. I tried to host libregrammar, but ran out of memory.

Starting to fall down the rabbit hole of self hosting,

Unraid, Plex & Pihole. Next project is Opnsense, then starting to look at Home Assistant.
