I have a MediaWiki instance on my laptop (I've found the features of all other wikis/mindmaps/knowledge databases decisively insufficient after having a taste of MW templates, Semantic MediaWiki and Scribunto).
Also some smaller things like pihole-standalone, Jellyfin and dictd.
Always looking for more, but so far it's pretty minimal.
Looking to add Jellyfin and a sonarr radarr setup, but my QNAP doesn't like doing actual work so I've been struggling. Planning to add a mini PC soon as a more stable server and to centralize things a bit.
HARDWARE:
PROXMOX:
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.
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
All the docker compose files + how I configured everything is available at: https://github.com/simone-viozzi/my-server
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'm just getting my server up and running! Previously it only ran Honeassistant.
Now it runs proxmox, which boots 2 vms, one for HAOS and another for Debian. On the Debian vm there is currently Plex, nextcloud, and some -arr apps.
8 also have a separate raspberry pi pihole. I've had that going for years now, I think I first made it 2019.
Using LXD:
Using rootless Podman + Systemd service:
All services are split across 2 DIY servers (in towers). 15TB of media stored on HDD with btrfs duplicated across both servers. One server host is Alpine Linux, the other is Opensuse MicroOS. LXD containers usually are Debian 12 or Alpine. I'm beginning to migrate some things to a cluster of (12) raspberry pi 3s. Unsure what to choose for rpi's, maybe, Fedora CoreOS (ublue), although Alpine does work extremely well on them (once you get them set up with it).
+ router running fresh tomato :)
Also mailcow for email, on a VPS, although I need to switch to a new provider, having difficulty with delivery using Linode and OVHCloud.
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.
I'm running a Kubernetes cluster on the Dell hardware, then another single node k8s cluster on the Lenovo, mostly to run Adguard home / DNS in case the big cluster goes down for whatever reason.
Hardware:
I run the following services, all in Kubernetes, with FluxCD doing GitOps from a repo in GitHub (for now, might move to Gitea later):
On my own hardware: At home I have a Raspberry Pi 4 running JellyFin as a local media server, also experimenting with PiHole. One of these days I'd like to pull my NextCloud server in-house.
VPS: Nextcloud (including calendar, notes, contacts & RSS/Atom), GoToSocial, WordPress, Gemini, and personal website with a mix of home-grown parts and sections managed through Eleventy.
I've also experimented with self-hosting Calckey , Snac2 and Mastodon, but Mastodon's too heavy for a single user and Snac2 is lighter than I want to go with for now. I may try Calckey again at some point, though.
Eventually I'd like to set up Wallabag and migrate from Pocket.
I run a bunch of bots, some databases plus
Just testing from selfhosted instance!
I host:
I think that should be it. I left out some less important ones and probably forgot a few that I don't use that often. All these services are spread across 2 servers at home and a small VPS mainly used for the mailserver and Uptime Kuma.
Hi there. My first post in this community.
I'm currently running:
My hardware: I used to run it all on a Supermicro x9drd-7ln4f-jbod with dual Xeon E5-2670 v2 with 16x16GB ECC ram and 6x 3TB disks in raidz2 for storage and 2x 60gb Intel SSDs for OS. I started with less and upgraded towards this configuration but it was consuming 300 watt idle which was just unacceptable.
So earlier this year I upgraded to an ASRock Rack x470D4U with Ryzen 7 5700x and 4x32GB ECC (non-registered) ram and 6x 2TB SSDs in raidz2. 1 ssd is in the nvme slot on the motherboard, 4 are in a 4x4 bifurcation card in the 16x slot and 1 more in a 4x riser. All PCIe lanes of the CPU are used. This setup is not possible with an AMD CPU with integrated GPU since it will take up 4 PCIe lanes (you can guess how I know). It uses about 20 watt idle without any containers and VMs running. I initially didn't want to move away from Supermicro but the ASRock Rack motherboard has IPMI so I'm not missing out on much.
Hardware and software suggestions are welcome :D
I have a meager ds418play with 2x4tb drives set up with RAID. I forget what it's called, but it is one drive redundancy, 1:1. I run Plex and an FTP server on it for file storage.
A cobbled together Ryzen 2400g with 16GB of ram. Open Media Vault/Docker: Plex Nextcloud stack with dns refresh/ssl/nginx Sonarr/transmission stack with VPN PiHole Octoprint
Occasionally I run a game server or two when the need comes up, mostly Valheim lately.
Hi everyone! I’m a big fan of self hosting :)
I have a dedicated server in Hetzner
Been running it for almost a year without any issues. I host several things there. I’m using caprover.com for managing my deployments since I contributed on the project a few years ago and it’s so easy to get started.
Some of the things I host there:
I have setup a cron job that dumps my all of my databases (Postgres and MySQL) to my Google drive every midnight.
Hope this can help as inspiration for anyone else. Cheers!
I have a two server proxmox cluster (beelink ser5, hp prodesk micro g3) plus running and proxying some services to my daily driver desktop
Services:
Personally, I host Sandstorm, and Discord music bot, and Minecraft.
A Lack Rack with VMWare and TrueNAS servers, pfsense, Jellyfin, Zoneminder, web/email, Nextcloud, Minecraft, LineageOS build machine, .....other stuff
Everything except Node-exporter running in containers on a single Ubuntu machine. i5-6500T, 16gb RAM & 1TB.
Media Stack
IT Stack
I host one of the worlds last gopher sites. And some Telegram bots, on Raspberry Pi's.
Wow, is Gopher still a thing?
Sure is. There is now Flask Gopher for building gopher sites in Python.
My "Home Lab" loosely put, is an amalgamation of this:
Docker and Docker Compose installed on Ubuntu on a Dell PowerEdge 530 and on that docker host I have: -Portainer
-Nginx Proxy Manager
-Cloudflare Dynamic DNS
-Chromium
-Dozzle
-Gluetun
-Homarr
-Jellyfin
-Kanboard
-Komga
-Radarr
-Lidarr
-Sonarr
-Navodrome
-netbooyxyz (work in progress)
-Prowlarr
-qBittorrent
-Pairdrop
-Resilio-Sync
-Searxng
-Siganl CLI container for alerts
-Uptime Kuma
-VSCode
-WikiJS
-Watchtower
On one of my Pi's:
-Pihole
-Pialert
-fail2ban
-PIVPN
-Unbound
The weakest part of my setup arguably is between my storage "solution" and my networking setup.
Storage is just a bunch of large drives in the Dell. Next upgrade is a new router solution, but still use my current router for a wireless access point strictly for IOT and putting my other devices on separate VLANs.
I was thinking about getting a Nextcloud going, but not sure I want to as of right now.
Plex and a web app I wrote for a Twitch community I moderate.
Plex is on a server in the Netherlands and the web app is just AWS. I would've hosted on some spare hardware but my internet is notoriously trash and I didn't want to risk it going down while people are playing in the app.
Plex I might move onto a NAS at some point but I'm just too lazy lol.
Since I'm moving very soon I'm also redoing everything, so this more of a "soon-to-be" than a current, but I will have:
3x ryzen 5600 w/ 32gb of ECC ram, 10gb network and some enterprise disks 1x mikrotik switch 1x mikrotik router
And I will host, using Kubernetes (Talos OS):
Ceph (rbd,s3) on 4 poweredges.
Nomad, Consul servers running in a 3 node raft on some ARM SBCs.
Nomad clients on 2 poweredges and 3 arm SBCs running:
And that is just in the server room - I also have more like the 3d printer and CNC machine controllers etc.
Virtualized with libvirt:
In nomad:
Offsite rpi @ parents
Rpi doing router duties, to be replaced with rb3011 when I finalize it's config in terraform
VPS:
Old laptop: k8s playground for learning
Short-term todo:
Public dns names have A records pointing to haproxy vps, which proxies to home over tunnel, and AAAA records pointing straight to home (I have static ipv6 prefix, but no static ipv4 address)
Can't ask too much off my little laptop, but here it is
Currently self-hosting a pi-hole instance, an nfs/smb server & a LAN-only webserver, as well as 24/7 syncthing (to which I automatically send my phone's photos to)
My specs are:
Intel Atom N270 (1 core, 2 threads) 1Gb DDR2 Ram (God knows the frequency but it's slow.) And a 500gb HDD
You really don't need a lot of oomph to self host! I'm planning on running a qBitTorrent webui next.
A Plex server, two DayZ servers and as of today a Lemmy instance. 😀
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.
