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!

Hi there. My first post in this community.

I'm currently running:

• Pi-hole
• Plex Media Server
• Grafana
• Torrent server
• Monica
• Shaarli
• Matrix instance
• Arch package cache
• Several game servers such as Minecraft and Terraria
• VM running Volvo software to troubleshoot my cars.

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

Using LXD:

• ddclient
• Jellyfin (2)
• Minecraft (proxy + 4 servers)
• Satisfactory server
• V Rising
• Gitea vcs
• wordpress
• rtorrent
• other web servers

Using rootless Podman + Systemd service:

• Vaultwarden
• Linkding
• Traefik
• Immich photo backup
• Nextcloud (though I hate it, probably will stop)
• Grafana
• Prometheus
• Prowlarr/Radarr/Sonarr/Lidarr/Bazarr/Recyclarr
• Rtorrent + Flood
• Jellyseerr
• Navidrome (Subsonic server)
• Miniflux (RSS)
• Woodpecker (CI integration for Gitea)
• Tubearchivist (yt-dl)
• wg-easy (wireguard)
• searxng

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.

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!

Hey, thanks for the selfhost community!

1u homebrew server

• Docker containers
• Mail server (mail in a box)

Tower server running Freebsd

• Asterisk - jail
• Conduit Matrix server - jail
• Homeassistant - jail
• NFS shares
• Nginx - jail
• Postgres - jail

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.

Jellyfin Nextcloud Homeassistant Mattermost Gitlab Visions of Chaos Oobabooga Automatic1111

Always looking for more, but so far it's pretty minimal.

• Pi.hole with Gravity Sync
• openhabian for smarthome hub

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.

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.

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.

Just testing from selfhosted instance!

Virtualized with libvirt:

• Nomad (3 nodes)
• Consul (3 nodes)
• Vault (3 nodes)
• Gitlab + CI
• Nextcloud
• Sonarr, radarr, bazarr, jackett, deluge
• Prometheus
• opensearch
• puppet
• powerdns (international authoritive main + replica), unbound (internal recursor), ntp (2 nodes)
• powerdns (public authoritive replica)
• haproxy (2 nodes)
• nfs, samba
• Seaweedfs (S3) (3 nodes)
• rsnapshot
• package repositories (deb, rpm - plain dirs/files served by apache, with some scripts to manage repo metadata)
• postgresql + patroni (2 nodes)
• container registry (to investigate replacing with zot)
• openldap, keycloak (2 nodes)
• unifi controller

In nomad:

• Grafana
• Vaultwarden
• Tandoor
• Matrix
• Puppetboard
• Prometheus exporters for various things

Offsite rpi @ parents

• Rsnapshot, samba

Rpi doing router duties, to be replaced with rb3011 when I finalize it's config in terraform

VPS:

• Powerdns (public authoritive primary), haproxy, postfix (secondary MX)
• Postfix (primary MX), dovecot, spamassassin, opendmarc, opendkim

Old laptop: k8s playground for learning

Short-term todo:

• Homeassistant

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)

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.

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.

Can't ask too much off my little laptop, but here it is

• HomeAssistant
• Frigate NVR
• PiHole
• Wireguard VPN

I host one of the worlds last gopher sites. And some Telegram bots, on Raspberry Pi's.

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

PiHole

WireGuard server that passes trough pihole adblocking

Homarr (lol)

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

• Intel Core i7-8700
• 2x SSD M.2 NVMe 1 TB
• 4x RAM 32768 MB DDR4

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:

• nextcloud
• MySQL
• Postgres
• privatebin
• some Hasura instances
• Kuma (for monitoring)
• Browserless Chrome (which I use for web scrapping)
• Plausible (analytics)
• A private Ragnarok Online Server

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!

A Lack Rack with VMWare and TrueNAS servers, pfsense, Jellyfin, Zoneminder, web/email, Nextcloud, Minecraft, LineageOS build machine, .....other stuff

• Two NextCloud instances, one is a RPi4 with a big external HDD which I use for backups, the other one contains everything else, including PhoneTrack. Happy to have a self-hosted privacy-friendly way to share my location with family.
• Email using mailcow.
• Jabber server using prosody. Using it with immediate family and two friends. Still super happy.
• Web server including personal blogs. Currently looking to migrate away from Wordpress into something static without comments.
• pihole
• Half-finished home automation stuff.

I host:

• docker-mailserver
• code-server
• Vaultwarden
• Flame Dashboard
• FreePad
• Gotify
• Nextcloud
• Baikal
• HomeAssistant
• Node-RED
• InfluxDB
• Grafana
• piHole, Cloudflare DNS over HTTPS client
• Uptime Kuma
• Nginx Proxy Manager
• wg-easy
• Shiori
• MeTube
• Sonarr, Radarr, Jackett, Unpackerr,...
• qBittorrent, Gluetun
• Jellyfin
• Watchtower
• Honeygain, Pawns App, Peer2Profit, Traffmonetizer
• a few services that I wrote myself

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.

I host a bitcoin node, and some video

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.

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
• owncloud infinite scale
• Immich
• Jellyfin
• Homeassistant
• Hashicorp vault
• Oneuptime
• gitea
• plane
• actual (finance software)
• probably forgetting some stuff

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.

I live small in the cloud for now:

• dns
• email
• homeassistant

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!

On a VPS:

• mailcow for email for a personal domain

On home network:

• unraid server as a local fileserver for backups and media (repurposed from an i5 2500k with a bunch of drives added)
• unraid server hosts a bunch of containers -- plex -- jellyfin -- *arr apps

Edit: and hoping to play around with hosting a lemmy server in the next few days

Have a PC in the basement acting as a server.

• Microk8s on Ubuntu Server
• Custom-written experimental NodeJS app to help when playing D&D
• Keycloak to act as an IDP
• Cloudflare tunnel to receive traffic
• Valheim server (temporarily -- I moved this back to local)
• Wiki.js

Hi, I have an Unraid server (currently offline due to moving :'-/ ) running

VMs:

• 2 full flat Windows and Pop_OS! VMs with GPU passed through
• 2 low resource Windows and Pop_OS! VMs accessible by VNC
• Home assistant OS

Docker containers:

• Calibre + Calibre-web: apart from managing my ebook library, calibre goes through my RSS feed and generates daily epub newspaper/magazines that are send by Syncthing to my eink tablet
• Syncthing: apart from that it also synchronizes my handwritten notes from my eink tablet between my devices
• Nextcloud: intended to replace Google/Microsoft cloud, but, due to previous apartment's internet connection with PIA triple-ish NAT situation, is only used to backup photo/video from my phone (might change later)
• EMBY: media streaming
• Gitea: WIP, not currently used
• dokuwiki: WIP, intended to acumulate manuals to home appliances and stramlined directions on how to use and maintain them
• influxDB and Grafana: values and graphs from Home Assistant

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.
