Selfhosted

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.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

A simple question to this community, what are you self-hosting? It's probably fun to hear from each-other what services we are running.

Please mention at least the service (e.g. e-mail) and the software (e.g. postfix). Extra bonus points for also mentioning the OS and/or hardware (e.g. Linux Distribution, raspberry pi, etc) you are running on.

Well, I'm not running it currently for reasons, but I used to host a Jellyfin media server on my desktop, but that was inconvenient as it was the desktop I was actually using. Eventually I switched from Pop!_OS to Fedora which lacked Jellyfin transcoding support and I had to stop hosting it. In a few days I should get a 1050ti to complete the setup and then I will be back up and running on my first dedicated server. I will probably look in to hosting a mail server, a nas, bitwarden, and possibly a librex or searx search engine on it once it is up and running. It is an old system with 3gb of ddr2 and an athelon 64 x2 from 2005 but it should do the trick for everything I want out of it. Right now I am just hoping that the new GPU doesn't trigger current protection on the cheapo PSU that is in there.

Edit: I'm also going to set up an i2p seedbox for obscure torrents.

Mostly matrix client/server + bots, etherpad & mumble (until matrix can replace it on desktop, PTT-wise)

[–] Borgzilla@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

My media library over SSHFS. The server runs Debian 11 and the client is an old Linux Mint laptop in my basement hooked up to a TV. The laptop only has access to my local network.

[–] Enderspearl184@u.fail 1 points 1 year ago

Mostly just a nodejs server running a proxy that I use to mitm myself, editing a file to fix events and the arena in angry birds epic lol

[–] oozynozh@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

OpenWRT on Netgear for DNS and DHCP

pfSense on CP2200 for VPN, packet filtering, SSL inspection, and unbound

TrueNAS on TerraMaster for NFS and iocage running Jellyfin

Raspbian on RasPi4 for ICA, LDAP, SNMP, Syslogs, etc

  • immich
  • homeassistant
  • jellyfin

are used daily, also lots of other services.

[–] eightys3v3n@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Did Immich work out-of-the-box for you? I had it working a few months ago but when I tried more recently I was greeted with errors about connecting to the database. The docker-compose setup is what I'm looking for.

[–] resurrect@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, pretty much. I auto update it and sometimes it might need reboot or something. But it is working.

[–] juandjara@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

A full setup around managing and download multimedia content

  • Jellyfin for playing everywhere
  • Sonarr and Radarr for automatically renaming and sorting
  • Prowlarr and QBittorrent for downloading
  • Filebrowser as a kind of light-weight cloud
  • Caddy docker proxy for handling every service a subdomain
  • And a bunch of other tools for sysadmin tasks

I'm only self-hosting a PLEX server and an SFTP server, for now. I have many other interests but not enough time to actually set everything up and manage it

[–] Budman@fedia.io 1 points 1 year ago

I self host the work software,

Ansible host,
Kubernetes Cluster
Elasticsearch cluster
Game servers
Piholes,
AgentGPT,
Various other things when needed.

How about what I'm not self-hosting? Lemmy. If anyone has an up to date guide on self-hosting a single user instance of lemmy that is actually easy to follow, that would be great. I just want to control my user account.

Im currently new to self hosting, however I've started running my own website using NGINX (pronounced en-ginks of course) on a raspberry pi. It's handling quite well, the most activity I've known of is my friend trying to DoS it by opening a bunch of tabs on it. Next steps: Keeping track of connections and DDoS protection (w/o cloudfare. Any suggestions?)

[–] Damaniel@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

File storage, mainly. I have 2 NAS devices (one Synology I picked up in 2014, and an Unraid device I just built a couple months ago) - the former holds 13TB and the latter currently holds 35TB with plans to bring it to 100TB as I get money for more drives.

The Unraid system has a Youtube-dl instance running to auto-pull videos from the channels I follow, and I also run my Plex server from it. The Synology only has a Git server on it that I use to keep local copies of repos that I store on GitHub, along with personal projects that I'd rather not publish (even as private repos) in the cloud.

[–] aucubin@lemmy.aucubin.de 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (7 children)

Pretty much anything I can. Host OS is mostly Debian with Docker, only the Git Server is running on Alpine. Hardware-wise everything is running on Proxmox with an FreeBSD NAS for backup and data storing

  • Logging/Monitoring Stack (Grafana, Loki, Prometheus, InfluxDB)
  • Step-CA for custom internal CA
  • Firefly III as budgeting tool
  • Kimai for work-time tracking
  • Vikunja for Project Management
  • Keycloak as OIDC server
  • Grocy for inventory management
  • Bookstack as personal Wiki
  • The lemmy instance i'm posting from
  • Mastodon
  • Nextcloud with Collabora Office
  • Bitwarden as Password Manager
  • Miniflux for RSS Feeds
  • Some websites
  • Gitea
  • Wireguard
  • Jellyfin
  • Metube
  • Mail server running docker-mailserver (only as fallback due to sending problems to Microsoft)
  • Uptime-Kuma
  • Home-Assistant

PiHole, Owncast, weechat, Bookwyrm

Maybe I should set up my own matrix instance 🤔

Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi

I really want to get something like a Synology NAS to run a media server / VPN server / PiHole / NAS server on, but I don't have $500-$1000 to drop on new hardware right now.
