Hey, thanks for the selfhost community!

1u homebrew server

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

Tower server running Freebsd

  • Asterisk - jail

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'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.

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 run a bunch of bots, some databases plus

  • Jellyfin
  • Unifi controller
  • Radar
  • Sonarr
  • Lidarr
  • Bazarr
  • nzbhydra2
  • Sabnzbd
  • Heimdall
  • Twitch points miner 2

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.

Personally, I host Sandstorm, and Discord music bot, and Minecraft.

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!

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

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.

  • 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 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.

[–] Presi300@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

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)

Deluge

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

RAM: 16GB

Storage: 5x2TB Seagate something something 7200RPM in RAIDz1, 128 GB random chinese SSD (mostly for VMs and apps) the, OS runs off of a flash drive

OS: TrueNAS scale

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

[–] hebocon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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!

[–] bagog@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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
[–] Daaric@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

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.
