What are you self-hosting?

I believe I'm at 42 Docker containers now, lol. Some of the notable ones:

• Plex
• Vaultwarden
• Home Assistant (plus Node-RED, zwave JS, and mqtt)
• NPM
• Pihole
• All the "arr" stuff
• Nextcloud
• Portainer
• FreshRSS

There is a lot of support stuff too like MariaDB and orbital-sync.

I'm going to be working on Lemmy when I get back from vacation but I leave in like 2 hours so that's going to have to wait, lol.

By in large, the docker makes it stupid easy for the vast majority of my containers and portainer makes it even easier since you can manage everything through a web UI.

• Plex
• Tautulli
• Jellyfin
• Transmission
• Pihole (and DoH proxy)
• npm proxy manager
• Flexget (similar to radarr)
• bedrock minecraft servers
• Home Assistant
• TPLink Omada controller
• Netdata dashboard
• Portainer
• VSCode (web version, to easily edit files on my servers)

Not as much as I probably should be! I have a nice little Proxmox cluster, backed by a UPS and a beefy NAS, but mostly I use it for fussing around with stuff, playing with instances, nothing really mission critical.

• PiHole
• NextCloud

Just Nextcloud on an intel NUC at the moment, bare metal.

1. Debian
2. ArchiveBox
3. PostgreSQL (for my own stuff)
4. Syncthing
5. Miniflux
6. GitWeb

Navidrome music server is really the only thing that I actually use. I love it.

Lemmy Jellyfin Wireguard so I can access my home network from outside

All three are easy to manage(so far).

This is likely not the thread for it, but I've been wanting to look for some kind of guide to self hosting for someone who's never done it before. Once I get out of my lease that, while it includes internet, prohibits me from running any kind of servers, I want to potentially look into starting something, although that would also involve me getting a dedicated machine for this. I do have a somewhat old Raspberry Pi 3 from like 2016 I want to say (it has built in WiFi and Bluetooth but as I am currently home, I don't have the specs on hand atm). The only other two machines are my desktop, which is way too overpowered to be running a server even some of the time, and my laptop, which I want to be able to take with me if I need to go work on something at a coffee shop.

I have an old laptop that i'm selfhosting a few services on. Right now i'm hosting:

• nginx proxy manager as a reverse proxy (all requests go through the reverse proxy and it redirects to the app based on the domain name)
• mealie and tandoor(for recipe management, dont know which one to choose yet)
• immich (for photo backup and management, kind of like Google photos)
• media stack with jellyfin, bazarr, sonarr, radarr, prowlarr jellyseerr, sabnzbd, and qbittorrent (jellyfin for streaming movies and shows, qbittorrent and sabnzbd for downloading movies and shows from either torrent or usenet sites (basically torrents but better), sonarr and radarr for telling them what to download, prowlarr for telling sonarr and radarr where to download from, and jellyseer is an interface where users select movies to download)
• gluetun (only use it sometimes, it's a VPN client that I use with qbittorrent)
• archiveteam warrior for helping out archiving reddit, they have some other cool archival projects too.
• And finally, Lemmy.

I host most of my important things on the cloud because of my situation meaning that my laptop is not too reliable. If you are curious:

• actual (a pretty cool budget management app)
• nginx proxy manager
• gotify (sends and receives messages)
• ntfy (same but a bit simpler and more configurable)
• headscale (selfhosted control server for tailscale)
• metrics stack with grafana, prometheus and node exporter (node exporter scrapes my cloud server for data like CPU usage and other stuff every, I think, minute and then sends it to prometheus and grafana scrapes Prometheus for the metrics then visualises it if I request it to)
• authentik single sign on (single sign on means you log into authentik and then you can log into every other app through authentik, it's a bit complicated to setup but it's very nice when you do)

And that's about it.

Trust me, I had to go through A LOT of tutorials to get to even this point, so it may be daunting at first, but you'll get there. Eventually.

If you'd ask me what the hardest to set up was it was probably the media stack, probably because it was my first project 😅 and a close second would probably be authentik, it requires learning the different authentication types that you need, then actually setting it up on your server.

If you decide to selfhost something through docker and are new to doing stuff through the command line then i would recommend portainer, because it has a nice GUI and is maybe a bit better understandable to people who don't understand all the commands In docker. Even if you are, it's still nice for monitoring IMO. Incase you don't know what docker is, you should check it out. I'm not gonna go into it here, but it's pretty cool.

You should consider joining !selfhosted@lemmy.world (I realize that beehaw federated but I feel like I should still bring It up) and !selfhost@lemmy.ml

Anyway sorry for the long post, I'll shut up now.

Not a ton of stuff, but I'm currently looking at some more, thanks to this thread.

At home:

• Open Media Vault on an RPi 4, with some containers, namely:
  • qBittorrent
  • PhotoPrism (not especially functional, more a proof-of-concept)
  • mariadb
• PiHole on an RPi 3
• Volumio on RPi3s + DAC (x2)

On a Singapore-based VPS:

• Nextcloud

All Dockerized:

• Pihole
• Plex
• Lemmy
• Matrix
• SimpleLogin
• Ntfy
• Plex
• Photoprism
• FreshRSS
• Linkding
• Paperless
• Nextcloud
• Wallabag
• Syncthing

Home Assistant, ESPHome, frigate, grafana, influxdb, mosquitto, nodered, plex, and a few web site servers. Once set up, they're all easy to manage. The biggest challenge is upgrading Ubuntu on the web severs. All the other ones are Docker instance.

I've got a Synology NAS running Home Assistant and basic NAS stuff (mostly backing up NextCloud).

I've got a Linode (might move if I get less lazy) running NextCloud, and a setup for a Minecraft server I haven't run for years. That NextCloud server replaced BTSync/Syncthing and TTRSS servers, and also now does my password syncing via KeePass, and contacts through webdav.

I run everything off a Synology NAS using Docker, except for Plex which runs directly so I can take full advantage of hardware transcoding.

• Portainer
• Radarr
• Sonarr
• NZBGet
• NZBHydra
• Overseerr
• Jellyfin
• Nextcloud (only using this for GPodder sync right now)

I also have a separate mini-computer for Home Assistant. That runs on HA Blue, which was the limited run predecessor to Home Assistant Yellow. May seem silly to have separate hardware, but I was tired of my whole system going offline every time I needed to reboot HA (which means possibly interrupting a family or friend watching a remote Plex stream, the horror!)

1. Home Assistant OS (in a VM)

2. • MariaDB
3. • Matter Server
4. • Mosquitto Broker
5. • Z-Wave JS

6. AdGuard home

7. SWAG (Ngnix proxy)

8. Emby

9. Airsonic Advanced

10. Komga

11. Immich

12. FreshRSS

13. Owncloud

14. Organizr

15. Duplicati

16. Portainer

17. Virtmanager
    The "arr" family

18. • Gluetun (routes all the below containers through my VPN)
19. • Readarr (print)
20. • Readarr (audio)
21. • LazyLibrarian (magazines)
22. • Mylar3
23. • Sonarr
24. • Lidarr
25. • Radarr
26. • Prowlarr
27. • Flaresolverr
28. • SABnzbd
29. • qBittorrent

There's a few other support containers for the above items like redis and postgres. This is all done on Ubuntu Server. But I'm slowly prepping to switch over to Unraid as I prefer the storage management on that. For me file storage and redundancy is a huge part of why I run all this.

haven't been hosting super much yet, but it's definitely growing slowly:

• 12TB QNAP NAS
• Plex
• Nextcloud
• Sonarr
• QBittorrent

The NAS is only really used for file storage and does no processing at all, everything else runs on a small Intel nuc. Outside of established services, I also host my own small services on the same nuc, but it's basically only a website and a file-uploading service to use with ShareX

I use a truenas server running off old gaming rig parts (except storage)

• plex
• tautilli (plex analytics)
• sonarr and radarr
• jackett
• transmission
• pihole that I dont use
• home assistant
• a very basic personal website, more of a placeholder for if I need to go job hunting

Off the shelf stuf:

• Lemmy
• Mastodon
• Tinc VPN (for retro gaming with friends)
• Nextcloud
• docker-mailserver (including roundcubemail)
• feedbin
• GitLab
• MediaWiki (set to private for personal notes)
• Minecraft
• Etherpad
• Munin
• Several wordpress instances for friends

Selfwritten:

• Discord bot that implements the basic rules for some TTRPGs
• Character generation tools for some niche TTRPGs
• Personal blog
• Signup website for a local community meetup

• 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

• Owncloud (want to migrate to nextcloud)
• Plex
• Gmod Server
• Mc Servers
• Home Assistant
• Pihole
• Gitlab
• Grafana
• Prometheus
• Mastodon
• Kbin
• Grafana
• Prometheus
• Simple Website (grocery list, notes, etc...)

At some point what's hosted and what's infrastructure becomes a bit blurred, but just on the user facing services side:

AdGuardHome, Bitwarden, CalibreWeb, a DHTC scraping database thing that I rarely run because it eats up the CPU and network, Emby, Hemdal, Homechart, a website copier based on HTTrack, Lemmy (ya don't say?) Librespeed, Mailcow, Mastodon, a video downloader based on youtube-dl call MeTube, NextCloud, PhotoPrism, Portainer, RocketChat (being replaced by nextcloud talk once I get the stun/turn working), SmokePing, Transmission, XbrowserSync, Zabbix,

and a handful of others for more monitoring and management style tasks.

I have a few things:

UnRaid server:

• Guacamole (though not really doing anything with it at the moment.)
• Wireguard VPN
• SpeedTest (forget the exact name, does period speed tests and lets me see over time how my connection is doing.)
• DuckDNS
• Heimdall

VM server (esxi 6):

• Windows machine for those times when you just need something
• pi hole
• sharing VM. Dockerized all of the *arrs, sabnzbd, qbittorrent
• plex server. This will probably eventually move off its own VM, but it's there for legacy/laziness reasons.
• Minecraft server, though this is getting dusty as my kids aren't into it like they used to be.

Dell Wyse thin client:

• Home assistant

Pretty simple. I still use iCloud services for most of the other basics (email, call, contacts, iCloud Drive, etc) mostly just because I don't trust my home connection enough to rely on it, and I'd rather the things that actually effect whether or not I can work aren't my problem.

• a few ancillary databases and management tools

I'm pretty happy with this lot and at the moment I'm not sure what I want to add. Perhaps some RSS reader, but I don't think that'll see much use tbh.

I'm usually a lot of what others are posting. One of my favorites so far has been HumHub. It's a social media platform that's like an old-school Facebook before all the news and ads. Currently have about 20ish members and it made available just for my large extended family. A lot of us already left Facebook so it's nice to have a similar set of features just for us without outside influences.

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.
