Welcome to !selfhosted@lemmy.world - What do you selfhost?
Hello everyone! Mods here 😊
Tell us, what services do you selfhost? Extra points for selfhosted hardware infrastructure.
Feel free to take it as a chance to present yourself to the community!
🦎
Well thanks to the soon to be dead /r/selfhosted on reddit I started selfhosting few years ago and now approximately 90% of my stuff is selfhosted:
as daily drivers and several others that I use from time to time.
wait, vscode self hosted?, how
Self hosted Vscode? How does that work, like a remote workspace via web or directly in a local Vscode session? Did it handle extensions well?
I haven’t used it in a while, maybe its better. Basically since vscode is an electron app it can run im he browser. You can even use https://vscode.dev which is the official web version. Iirc it didn’t have the same plugins, but it’s pretty much the same thing.
Its super useful when you deploy alongside containers as an easy way to change configs in shared volumes.
If this comment is federating then I started hosting my first service -- Lemmy itself.
I'm seeing it from my own selfhosted Lemmy instance!
vSphere cluster on 3 HP Mini EliteDesks:
Standalone Lenovo TS140:
Synology DS1821+:
Misc:
Ok, you've got me curious - Why 3 different active directory domain controllers?
Just for redundancy! One DC VM per physical vSphere host. Each DC also handles internal DNS records for my network.
Very impressive. I gotta ask, how is this feasible cost-wise? Mostly as in licensing for vshpere. I know you can get pretty far in windows server with evaluation keys, butI run an ESXi server on eval mode cuz I'm cheap and have to reset the license every 90 days with some commands and reboot 😅
What is the scale of your network, like is this all just in your house?
@devve

Umami analytics looks exactly like what I was looking for. Thanks! ntfy looks very useful as well.
and lemmy of course 🙂

I didn't know that existed and now I love it and started up a docker container for it!
Thanks! :D
Also love it - I use it to auto download my podcasts
Hello
Let's have a look at the inventory
RPI 4B
HP EliteDesk 800 G2 i5-6500T, 8GiB RAM - this one is currently the mainstay of my lab, running containers with docker-compose
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
How does mapcrafter run for you now? I'm hosting a vanilla server and that's exactly what I need to see our map. I'm just concerned that it doesn't function properly now due to recent updates.
Thanks!
Proxmox on a self-built rackserver (Will be building a second one for a proxmox cluster):
Raspberry Pi Zero for Pi-Hole (secondary)
On my Docker Host (All in docker-compose):
A Synology DS220+ for local Storage
A 5TB Hetzner Storage Box for Backups (encrypted)
A Rootserver for Games and some testing in the wild (Currently Windows, will be switched to ubuntu)
Hetzner Cloud Server with mailcow on it
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
Hello selfhosters.
Here's my list of stuff:
On a VPS hosted in Germany:
On my home server (my old gaming PC, repurposed)
Hi, thanks for your comment! I just visited your blog and noticed that it loads fairly quickly: I assume you must have some sort of CDN set up. Could you point me to how you went about setting up the CDN for your domain/website? Thanks!
No CDN. The secret is way simpler: It's a static site. Just a bunch of files served directly by Nginx. I use Pelican to generate the site from Markdown files.
Host all the things!
Wordpress, SMTP/IMAP, tor, bittorrent, Nextcloud, Plex, NTP, photo galleries, DoT...
I even started hosting the website for my local Italian restaurant and they haven't even realised it yet.
Wait, what? How are hosting someone else's website?
OK, here's how it happened.
I was hungry, and I wanted to see the menu for my local pizza joint. I couldn't find it anywhere.
I discovered that all their socials linked to a website that wouldn't load. When I checked, the domain had lapsed.
Out of frustration, I purchased the domain and pulled the last snapshot of their website off archive.org. It had their full menu as a PDF.
6 months later and it's still getting visitors from their facebook page, who are viewing the menu. They haven't even realised.
I strive to be this level of...
Whatever this is
Hahah yeah whatever that is
That's funny. Imagine how confused they'll be when/if they find out.
What a hero!
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 👀🦎
Hugo? As in your generated site or you have some sort of service that costs hugo that generates and deploys your site or something else?
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.
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 :)
If there is RAM to spare... one more selfhosted service can't be bad hahaha
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:
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:
Most services run in Docker Containers on some VPS at Hetzner. Some stuff runs in Docker Containers on old spare hardware at home.
Self hosted email is a brave endeavor, but I always love seeing when people are cool enough to do it
Are you using the mail service from Hetzner or are you using their servers to host it yourself?
I'm using the Mail service from Hetzner. I did host my own eMails for more than 10 years but eventually decided it's too much hassle.
I'm also using their mail servers, but I'm having some issues with DKIM. Is DKIM working fine for 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:
I have a rented server with 8 Xeon E3-1246 and 64GB at Hetzner where I host:
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
Self hosting email is obnoxious, but it's also one of the only remnants of the traditional distributed internet that's still broadly accepted.
Have you tried FreshRSS for feeds ? I'm pretty happy with it.
Hi, could you detail how you utilise Asterisk?
I just got going on matrix and I wish there were better XMPP iOS apps. Chat services without friends don’t work and bad iOS apps keeps people away. After all this time there isn’t a good adoption of XMPP for iOS except iMessage I guess.
@GregoryTheGreat @beigegull I've got a few friends using xmpp apps on iOS, mostly snikket (which is a rebranded siskin). Works well, notifications work as they should, so does audio/video calling, and e2ee works too of course. Monal has apparently gotten better recently
@beigegull @devve Totally agree that your email is basically your de facto identity online. I didn't have the heart to fully host my own mail server but I made the decision to ditch gmail and use my own domain with a hosted provider. I am hosting my own IMAP server so the plan will be to work my way up to where you are eventually...
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
Please make a blog post about your migration. I'm in the same boat.
if your using docker you can mount the same media folder. I have both hosted with the same media folder mounted.
Which way are you migrating?
I migrated from Plex to jellyfin.
I tried it out when I couldn't get HEVC files to steam on Plex, and i liked it!
It doesn't have the full ecosystem around it that Plex does, but that's fine by me.
A 6 node k3s cluster with a Synology for network storage running:
Managed with FluxCD.
(I'll add links / descriptions later)
I host the following fediverse stuff:
And these are other things I host:
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
Great way to start! My first server was an "old" 2010 server I left at home when I went to college 😄
I have a 800W solar panel and some home automatization at home. Therefor, I use MQTT & NodeRED.
Adguard
Authelia (authentication for my services)
Dashy (I've become lazy collecting my own bookmarks)
Gotify (receive notifications on my mobile from NodeRED)
Grafana

phpMyAdmin
Portainer
Remmina

Currently self-hosting on an old HP Z600 I bought second hand with the following specs:
For services, I'm currently running the following:
Docker
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:
Cloud Flare tunnel? If so, Could you point me in the direction of some resources for cloudflare tunnels! I always feel like i'm stumbling around in the dark when i'm trying to configure a cloudflare tunnel! :P
Hey, I don't really have any resource, I also stumble and mess with it myself until I got the hang of it. I guess I can write a blogpost on how Cloudflare Tunnel actually works and how to configure it easily.
I'll update you once I do.
Greetings!
Not really self hosting a lot right now, but I've been spending a lot of time reengineering my network and fixing some things. Recently retired my loud and power-hungry pfsense server, replacing it with a Mikrotik rb5009, so setting that up has been a steep learning curve.
Most things are running on my Synology DS920+, except for a few raspberry pis.
PiHole (pi zero)currently brokenPihole
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
Starting to fall down the rabbit hole of self hosting,
Unraid, Plex & Pihole. Next project is Opnsense, then starting to look at Home Assistant.
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.
Curious what you use a local version of MediaWiki for?
Primarily as a personal knowledge database, but also management of what, how and when is to be done (not for reminders or external motivation; rather to form a mental picture and understand the priorities). In future, I'll also use it to track the state of various ongoing affairs as the need arises, and perhaps integrate local programs and APIs into the wiki pages (that's probably where I'd need to write custom MW extensions).
znc, radicale, miniflux, gotosocial, lemmy, i2pd, searx, rtorrent, webdav
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):
I love Monica!
I'm looking forward to see what they do with their new version, chandler
What are the benefits of Kubernetes in a home server?
Mind sharing your Kubernetes config? I'm living off of a bunch of docker compose config files, and I'd love to make the jump to Kubernetes.
DM'd!
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.
I only have a few services:
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'm looking to set up exactly this for myself with a linode vps, and wireguard containers. Any tips? Even a docker compose snippet would be helpful.
Plex+arrs etc Nextcloud Komga SWAG Photoprism HA
128TB.
My main hypervisor is proxmox which runs an unraid vm with the iGPU passed through to accelerate PLEX and disk controllers to manage the storage. I also have 2 Endeavour OS VMs, one that runs Thunderbird and Insync. Another that has a quadro p2000 passed through to tinker with. I also have a homeassistant vm and a proxmox CT running docker.
I'm working up to transitioning the dockers on unraid to a proxmox container but at the same time if it's not broke why fix it.
I also want to mess with networking by putting in OPNsense or pfsense and routing some traffic through a vps.
I did this with a VPS pfsense instance linked to my local pfsense via site to site VPN, and haproxy for email to get a static IP. Worked very well.
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.
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.
Also have a look at omnivore as a pocket alternative!
Just in case it's helpful, here's my docker-compose file for Wallabag behind traefik: https://pastebin.com/b2VEbxae
Hey, thanks for the selfhost community!
1u homebrew server
Tower server running Freebsd
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:
Available from internet:
Available only from local:
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:
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 run a bunch of bots, some databases plus
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.
Lemmy, mostly :D. I also recently started up my own Matrix home server. I took a stab at email, but it was more trouble than it's worth considering my relatively newly acquired cloud hosting IP is on several blacklists. Now that I actually have a server running again Gitea might be next on the list of services that gets added.
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.
Everything except Node-exporter running in containers on a single Ubuntu machine. i5-6500T, 16gb RAM & 1TB.

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 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.
Personally, I host Sandstorm, and Discord music bot, and Minecraft.
Can't ask too much off my little laptop, but here it is
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.
A Lack Rack with VMWare and TrueNAS servers, pfsense, Jellyfin, Zoneminder, web/email, Nextcloud, Minecraft, LineageOS build machine, .....other stuff
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):
How do you find actual? I couldn't really get to grips with it. Although it certainly seemed sleeker than Firefly III.
It's pretty good and it's the only open source solution that managed to import transactions from bank statements with few mistakes. but my problem is always to solve conflicts. And I'm always coming back to simple spreadsheets as i can plan some things, do projections with more control.
HARDWARE:
PROXMOX:
I live small in the cloud for now:
Used to selfhost a gitlab instance, nextcloud and some other things, but I'm between houses so it has to wait.
Lots of good inspiration here!
Hopefully you got a good internet upgrade, also just moved and upgraded to a 5gig symmetric line!
Have you seen this story about running a linux mirror yet? The author was like: "What to do with all thins extra bandwidth? I'll run a mirror." Caveat: It's a bit of a headache.

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.

I don't selfhost very much compared to other people and my hardware's pretty much either all literally found in the garbage or 2nd hand, but here it is
The system is mostly a NAS that I also run the occasinal general purpose VM off of, here are the specs for the 3 ppl that care:
CPU: AMD FX-8320E

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!
Thanks for you detailing your experience.I am very interested in CapRover! I do not quite understand databases and Docker containers though. The one click WordPress deployment has a db version. What of Moodle, Nextcloud or Invoice Ninja though? Do they need their own containerised databases or can I just use MyPHPadmin to import all my current Mysql databases from my current shared hosting in the same db once the WP one click install is done? Also, would it be possible to setup a cron job to backup to a storage drive plugged into a home router? Thanks!
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.
Just testing from selfhosted instance!
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.
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.
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)
Not much at the moment. Pihole, Pydio, Syncthing, Gitea, Mariadb, Filebrowser, and lighttpd to retrieve weather readings from a homemade weather station.
On a VPS:
Have a PC in the basement acting as a server.
Since I haven't seen it commented yet, I host a kiwix backup of stackoverflow and it has already saved me a couple times during outages.
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.
I dabble in the ARRs, plex, jellyfin, emby nextcloud. I have an old supermicro server 2014 I got on eBay with dual e5 2620, 64gb RAM, and 12 hdds of various types adding to 100tb all on LVM in ubuntu. I'm planning on transitioning to UnRAID once I get the motivation because my storage hygiene is bad. I've broken LVM too often with misplaced commands.
I'm looking at making an offsite backup shortly mostly for nextcloud at a coworkers home. I am trying to get rid of my reliance on Google for backup.
I host a bitcoin node, and some video
All on dedicated cloud servers for simplicity and security.
Im looking at selfhostihng on my own hardware again. Im considering the following
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.
Honeygain etc.... First time I hear about them. Do you mind sharing how much you get?
It really depends on the type of IP you have and your location, but it's really not much for me. From Honeygain I get like 20 bucks every 6 months and when paying out the money around 4$ get lost by transaction fees, but better than nothing and those services use so few resources, you don't even notice them running in the background.
you might want to check honeygain's network calls, because I had it running and then suddenly noticed my IP got banned on quite a few websites.
Turns out it was my honeygain traffic that caused it, I quickly uninstalled it after that.
Which websites are you referring to? I never noticed any problems from the sites I use. Only when I encounter any kind of captcha I always have to manually select images and it will never solve itself like some did in the past. But not sure if thats due to me not being logged in with Google in my main browser or if it's caused by Honeygain.
I have a (beefy specd) Intel NUC that's running Proxmox. A few of the VMs mount to my RS1221+ for things like media (Jellyfin), etc.
On Proxmox I run
Probably missing a few, but that's the jist
VPS (Ubuntu on 4 virtual cores, 10GB ram, 100GB NVME)
Cloud container provider (different to above VPS provider)
Homelab (Unraid on i7 4790, 16gb RAM, 3 x 10TB HDD, 4TB external disk, no cache disk yet, RTX 3070, fractal define 7 mid tower)
Have ordered an N100 mini PC from aliexpress with plans of installing OPNsense and running a couple VMs on it.
My gaming computer for interest, not currently hosting anything: 5800X3D, 7900XTX, 32GB ram, 2TB NVME, 2TB SSD, 4TB HDD, fractal meshify midbtower case.
I also have a Pi 4 and a Pi 3 that I don't have any use for currently. Open to ideas. I already run Adguard on phone and Ublock origin on desktop browser, and don't see any current use for Pihole.
Hi, I have a few bits and pieces.
Currently I have:
Pi Zero running pi-hole
A Mac mini running overseer on Linux
Another Mac mini that I use for dev work that’s also running sonarr, radarr, bazarr, plex and Hoobs under MacOS
A Dell R170 running a number of VMs (windows and Linux) that host a couple of websites , and a load balancer on proxmox.
Things are a bit spread out where I sometimes just had to use the hardware I had to hand but it all works together somehow.
Edit: I've also just spun up a MediaWiki for me and my colleagues to use to store useful snippets of code etc. in a central place. Although I know my colleagues, they'll use it once and then it'll be abandoned :D
A Plex server, two DayZ servers and as of today a Lemmy instance. 😀
Minecraft server, a pingvin share site for myself, tubearchivist, pihole, pivpn, 25mb video compressor with a script and incrontab along with the same thing but for GIFs. I think that's most of the list
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.
Lots of stuff! Currently running almost all of these in Docker on a Synology NAS:
Caddy (web server)
Agate (gemini server)
FreshRSS (rss reader)
Yarr (rss reader)
ergo (irc server)
akkoma
prosody (xmpp)
conduit (matrix)
nextcloud
soju (irc bouncer)
gamja (irc web interface)
qbittorrent-nox
unbound/dnsmasq
isso (selfhosted comments server)
smbd and nfs server
pivpn wireguard
minecraft stuff in seperate ubuntu vm:
pterodactyl panel
pterodactyl daemon
probably something else I forget
currently just running a monero miner as I have not been playing minecraft recently.
Hardware: Main server Ryzen 7 3900XT with 64GB of ram, two 240GB ssds running in raid1, two 4tb hard drives running in raid1, running proxmox with mostly alpine linux VMs
Secondary Server: Intel nuc running alpinelinux, only running secondary unbound/dnsmasq server so if my main server goes down, dns still works.
Late 2013 iMac: I was using it to run an iMessage to matrix bridge but I was not able to get it to work so now I just vnc into it to text. (suggestions welcome as vnc is annoying)
I also have another intel nuc that does not do anything.
All of these servers are connected to an APC back-ups UPS.
Navidrome
I have a few raspberry pis, running Home Assistant, Unifi controller, PiHole... Otherwise i have DigitalOcean droplets, one hosts my Lemmy instance, and another hosts a couple of side project websites (my wife's freelance business, and some other stuff)
I'm hosting Trillium Note for my personal note taking.
Currently I play around with a Raspi 4 8GB with docker-compose. Most services are accessible with VPN only:
Caddy (as easy reverse proxy)
Portainer (container dashboard)
Linkding (bookmarks)
Baikal (calendar, todo list to sync with Android by caldav)
Agendav (web calendar frontend)
Dillinger (browser markdown editor with PDF export)
Trilium (note app)
Syncthing (google drive/onedrive alternative)
Seafile (file sharing)
Jellyfin (media server)
Hello, my name is Zingo and I have a selfhosting addition going back to 2016 when I bought my first NAS with docker capabilities.
Community: Hi Zingo! Welcome!
Thank you.
Currently struggling more than even as it starts to take over my life. I have tried over hundreds of services.
I'll try to find strength to list some at a later stage in this healing process. Sorry no bonus points. Maybe in the next session.
Thank you all for this awesome support. I would be lost without you. 💓

There are some other things floating around in my homelab that aren't really 'selfhosted' things, just important to the home network:
3 HP Microserver Gen8's
-x1 with ESXi hosting pfSense
-x2 with TrueNas Scale for backups
R610 with ESXi for a few remote desktops and Home Assistant (which I'm sure I'll move to docker at some point).
Oooohhh... some really interesting and new-to-me apps in your list! Thanks for sharing.
Running Tipi on a five year old chrome box with tailscale as the VPN. Has been running great! Now I'm self hosting
Tipi is pretty awesome. If you haven't already, check it out!
Presently, my Fediverse presence is mostly self-hosted by one definition or another. This Lemmy instance lives on my server, and my Masto is hosted by a company dedicated to exactly that because it's dirty cheap and one fewer thing for me to worry about.
Looking to add to the list.
Main Server - 37 Containers, 4 VMs
Smarthome Server - OptiPlex 3050
Testing Server - OptiPlex 7060
Lately been testing and making stuff using linuxserver/docker-baseimage-kasmvnc.
Linuxserver Firefox.
XMR Mining Server - Old tired HP SFF
Basicly everything from this guide by seth for privacy; monerod, p2pool, tor, watchtower, and a python-webserver to expose metrics/api.
First post in the world of Lemmy! Woot! Another Reddit escapee. I can't for the life of me understand the management team at Reddit. I get that they need to make money and that they're pissed off at the AI guys for pilfering their data but the people who contribute to the subreddits and moderate them for free are why Reddit is such a success. Why would you screw them over? It's so short sited. If you're pissed at OpenAI then talk to them and figure out how they can pay for your API access but don't screw the people that made you a success. They can afford to spend a little of the VC/Microsoft money. Okay...off the soap box now.....
Up until very recently I was running all my services on a HP DL380 Gen9 server. Beautiful server but sucks back electricity like a drunk on New Years Eve and is way too noisy for my office. Purchased 4 different Tiny PCs (3 Lenovos and 1 Dell).
One Lenovo (AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 2200GE with 32GB RAM) is running RockyLinux with Docker with 20+ containers currently running.
I'm constantly playing with different containers - adding, removing, etc. I did try making the switch to Podman as I like the idea of rootless containers but could not for the life of me get things like NFS shares and Portainer integration working and was spending way too much time fighting with it. Will probably try again in the near future.
Then the other 3 Tiny PCs are running XCP-NG with various VMs including my Xen Orchestra, Kali, a couple Windows machines (usually off), Tailscale gateway box and a few others. Again, mostly for testing things out.
Using OpnSense as my firewall. Have a TrueNAS system sharing files and another small Rockstor NAS also.
Looking forward to the community here. Thanks.
I run everything I can out of containers. It makes remembering all the changes I made easy, and reverting them even easier. My hardware is a generic PC in my closet.
I'm running:
But that's not all, I also installed OpenWRT on my router, more out of necessity because it didn't have features my ISP required. That's running:
I have a Raspberry Pi running OctoPrint for a 3D printer in the corner. I would have preferred to have ran that on my server to save on power and save a Raspberry Pi but I don't have a long enough USB cable.
I used to host a ton of stuff, now I just host my WordPress site on Linode.
I have toyed with the idea of selfhosting a Lemmy server, but that's a project for another day.
Hardware:
Software:
I purchased the server used. The services are mostly running in a virtualized cluster, which is absolutely oversized for the current tasks. However, it has motivated me to learn Kubernetes and the power consumption is within my limits.
I have Vaultwarden running on an old laptop, so I definitely don't have much going on. Reading through these comments gives me plenty of ideas on what else to run though!
I run one main hypervisor with a bunch of different Ubuntu server VMs that I spin up as I mess with different things. I'm old-school so I am not a fan of cloud computing or even docker. Services I host that I use the most are NAS (samba), plex, pi-hole, dokuwiki (huge documentation nerd), and zoneminder which is a great open-source security cam software.
I've been working on expanding my homelab recently. I have a physical box at home serving as an LXC host along with a few VPSes. I'm now up to:
I think I read an old blog post once that said "Servers tend to multiply like rabbits" and it's 100% true.
I use proxmox on my server. I virtualize opnsense (with adguard and wireguard), jellyfin, unifi, home assistant, and syncthing.
I have a synology ds220j w/ 2x10tb
Hardware: Intel 12100, 32gb ram, i350-t4 network card TP link TL-SG108E switch
I'm going to move opnsense to a dedicated box eventually
I self-host in a rented server. I wrote about my adventures here: https://github.com/bruj0/ProxmoxIPv6
I got
There are probably other things that I don't remember right now.
In terms of hardware I got a 6 core AMD 5600X machine with a 5700XT GPU and 16GB of ram for almost all my services and personal use.
I also have an AMD 3600 machine with 3x8TB harddrives for network storage.
Hi, could you tell me the kinds of IoT projects you dabble in? I have always wanted to use the ESP32 and other microcontrollers and build something useful but I can't really find any ideas/lack technical expertise. Would be great to know what you're working on/the projects you have built and what they are used for.
Thanks!
There's an existing project made by a youtuber called Dave Plummer. He made a project that controls a strip light using the FastLED library where he made several effects here. You can fork or straight up copy his project. There is also the MQTT library where you can communicate withyoutr ESP32 in a very simple and mature protocol so you can do some crazy things there, like controlling a solid state relay for lights or something.
I self-host:
I rent a low-budget dedicated server from a data center - it only has about 4 cores and 8GB of RAM, but that's more than enough for my needs. Most importantly it has 2TB of hard drive space (for Nextcloud & Jellyfin) which is why I upgraded from my prior VPS.
Hello :)
I'm not really a "selfhoster" but I thought I'd present myself anyway since you asked :D
I do a little bit of it but only for personal use, I don't have the skills to selfhost for public use.
I have Gitea, Planka, Dokuwiki, Apache+MariaDB, and self-compiled World of Warcraft server emulators (TrinityCore, CMangos and AzerothCore).
Do you have some massive server home or using VPS/VDS?
I know it's been 2 months but I just stumbled upon your question.
Here's what my massive home server looks like. : )
I host a nextcloud sever (snap) and a minecraft server on a laptop I no longer use
Jellyfin and Nextcloud with UptimeKuma for monitoring. A pretty simple stack running on a mini tower, but it works great for my primary needs. Portainer for managing docker containers and stacks from a GUI.
Hi, I have an Unraid server (currently offline due to moving :'-/ ) running
VMs:
Docker containers:
The server was born when I merged my desktop PC, that was off and not utilized most of the time anyway, and my off the shelf NAS with 4 drives in raid5, that was slow, loud and could only run built-in garbage services. I ran Emby on Windows on my desktop, meaning I would have to manully turn it on every time I wanted to watch something.
Now my server runs on Ryzen 5 1600 with 48GB of RAM, GTX 1060 salvaged from a minig rig and total of 7 drives - 4 HDDs, 2 Sata SSD mirrored for cache and containers and 1 NVME SSD for VMs.
A bunch (47 containers at present)... Won't list them here as its kind of redundant with what a lot of other people are running. My latest is Lemmy (lemmy.nine-hells.net).
So... ODroid N2+ is hosting a Home Assistant. Nothing to add.
I have an old Intel Nuc nuc5cpyh that is currently hosting my WordPress blog at https://some-techy-tinkering.com/. Made it self-hosted a month ago and can't be happier.
The last machine is Intel Nuc nuc7i7bnh with 2 TBs of internal and 4.5 TBs of external drives. This is my main server with:
In addition to the standard complement of jellyfin etc. I run a Docker OS on Google's free tier with Gotify along with Uptime Kuma running on a tiny x86 computer accessed via a Cloudflare tunnel. Discord watches the watcher and notifies me if Gotify goes down!
It's a great combo. All reverse proxying is handled by HAProxy on my pfsense router.
Turns out I have quite a lot of stuff, and yet I'm here thinking I barely have anything! Until now:
All these are running inside Docker containers, on an ancient laptop with a single cpu core and 3 gigs of RAM.
Excited to discover more things to host on that
littlepretty big guy (somehow its still running well)!Hi
I started self hosting 3 years ago when I got wind of tailscale. I've always cared about privacy and building things so that was great.
My infrastructure consists of two machines.
One - my personal and work server A deskmini i3 12th gen
256GB Boot drive 4TB NVME data drive
-photoprism -syncthing -nextcloud -Firefox+VPN -archivebox
Two - my media server that I let 6ish other people access - PC tower i3 12th gen
512GB Boot and docker config file drive 4*4TB HDD mergerfs for raw data
-jellyfin -*arr suite -gluetun VPN -audiobookshelf (also for auto downloading podcasts) -calibre-web

I see people listing things I've never heard about...I thought I had spent a considerable amount of time on the old sub and knew stuff. Guess I gotta hit the books.
Right now though I'm hosting everything on a 2012 Mac Mini that's running Proxmox.
Been using these programs for awhile now:
Nothing crazy but cool stuff to learn in my day to day. I want more hardware but I'm about to buy a house. It's crazy how much I'm throwing at an 11 year old computer and it's handling it all quite well.
3 Proxmox nodes 2 SFF Dell Optiplex (i5 with 32gb RAM) 1 Nuc (i7 with 64gb RAM)
1 Truenas host (old gaming PC i5 with 64gb RAM and 8TB ZFS pool
pfSense appliance for firewall
Ohh, I'd love to share.
Running most services as docker/ kubernetes containers.
Currently running Plex (previously Jellyfin, maybe will switch back) for media streaming.
Grocy for food/task/family organisation (grocery list and so forth)
Piehole for home ad-blocker and proxy 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
I use a combination of a MacMini Oracle cloud, probably not best long term solution but it's free (while it lasts).
Stuff that runs on Oracle:
Stuff on Mac:
Aside from that not much else 😊
I selfhost a lot of the normal stuff everyone else does. Plex, AdguardHome, etc...
I also have a 96+ port dial-up server system: https://2600.network
currently, I selfhost https://beyondcombustion.net and now https://lemmy.beyondcombustion.net for /r/vaporents and hopefully others. There's other stuff I self host too, this is the fun new stuff though.
I'm glad to see vaporents coming here. Is this an official migration or enthusiastic former redditors?
As official as it gets lol.
I'm one of the mods, have a stickied post on this with a link at the end. Just haven't made a separate official post about it yet.
BeyondCombustion.net has been our wiki, formerly at github.io, for the last few years.
Decided to point that domain at some dell R720xd/R730xd boxes I picked up and setup a whole new entry into the fediverse, along with a number of other things for our users.
That's great having you here. I'll stick around, and maybe post something to the community soon with my modest setup to have a little talk :)
Hello
Let's have a look at the inventory
RPI 4B
HP EliteDesk 800 G2 i5-6500T, 8GiB RAM - this one is currently the mainstay of my lab, running containers with docker-compose
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
My biggest issue with Dell is the inability to upgrade the power supply 😭
Raspberry 4 No.1 (HassOS)
Raspberry 4 No.2 (Ubuntu LTS)
Fileserver custom built (Ubuntu LTS, local only):
Raspberry 4 No.3 (Raspian, local only)
All services dockerized but Kodi.
