Selfhosted

Nothing 😀but I'm still enjoying the community

Far quicker to share a screenshot of my dashboard

• Vaultwarden
• audiobookshelf (Best audiobook and podcast server)
• Teamspeak3
• Sinusbot (music bot for Ts3)
• SWAG (reverse proxy with built-in fail2ban)
• Plex
• Sonarr / Radarr / Overseerr / Jackett

I self-host a ton of software. For context, I'm leveraging docker-compose on top of TrueNAS SCALE:

• Monitoring
  • Prometheus
  • Grafana
  • the basic dockprom exporters: nodeexporter, cadvisor
  • NUT Exporter (UPS statistics)
  • PiHole exporter
  • UptimeKuma
• Ad blocking
  • PiHole
  • unbound (censor-resilient DNS resolver)
  • dnsproxy (in order to use PiHole on my smartphone and laptop outside my home network)
• Media
  • Plex
  • Transmission
  • Sonarr
  • Radarr
  • Bazarr
  • Jackett
  • Flaresolverr
• Services exposed to the outside world
  • Bunkerweb (security-hardened nginx reverse-proxy)
  • Bird.makeup (Twitter to Mastodon bridge)
  • FreshRSS

  • Courier (parcel tracking software)
  • Overseerr (user-friendly interface for friends and family to request movies and shows, plugs into Sonarr, Radarr and Plex)
  • Lemmy
• Kresus (personal finance)
• Wireguard (VPN I use as a gateway into my home network)
• Caddy (reverse proxy with HTTPS, I use it for serving locally everything I do not expose to the outside world)
• Restic server (an HTTP server to push Restic backups from various computers at home)
• wakeonlan-cron-docker (because TrueNAS doesn't allow installing WoL package. Once again, I made it myself)

What I'm looking into at the moment:

• Tandoor Recipes (deployed but I cannot make CSRF work with my reverse-proxy so far)

What I'll be looking into in the near future:

• Promtail + Grafana Loki to aggregate Docker containers logs in Prometheus/Grafa
• Immich (Google Photos alternative with automated backups from smartphones)

• The Lounge (IRC Client)
• Blocky (local DNS server with ad-blocking)

• Homebridge (service to get z2m devices into Homekit)
• Homeassistant (home automation)
• Prometheus (collect stats from several services above)
• telegraf (more stats collection + server metrics collection)
• Grafana (for some dashboards that I didn’t want to create in HA)
• miniflux (RSS reader)

• Atuin (shell history sync server)
• uptime-kuma (monitor some external servers + my local internet connection by pinging healthchecks.io)
• redis (for paperless and some own projects)
• postgres (for miniflux, atuin and some own projects)

Everything is running in containers on an Unraid server

• 24 TB usable (16 TB parity drive)
• 1 TB nvme Cache Drive
• Intel i3-12100T

With disks at idle/spun down, it consumes roughly 25W.

Here you go !

• Vaultwarden
• Searxng
• Nextcloud
• Smallstep (own CA for self-signed full chain certificates)
• Linkding
• Gotify + watchtower
• Adguardhome
• Traefik
• Wireguard

Took me to much time to make everything work perfectly together, but learned alot along the road ! Everything hosted on a old spare laptopt with docker containers.

Proxmox host. Fedora server vm.

• openvpn as a backup (and because i went through the highly laborious process of setting it up)
• wireguard
• nitter (twitter alternative frontend. makes twitter usable)
• audiobookshelf (podcast manager)
• pihole (block ads by dns)
• nginx for my website and some related website stuff
• Vaultwarden (sometimes. I usually keep it off because I prefer KeepassXC anyway)

The hardware is a 10 year old Thinkpad. I think it's pretty clear by my software list that I don't ask it to do much, but it does so much for me. Like, I wouldn't run Jellyfin off of this thing. In fact my NAS is 4x8TB drives but I keep it mostly shut off. It's powered on maybe about once or twice a week for a few hours at a time. I try to batch my activity with it. Like "oh, yeah, I want file X but it's on my NAS. Maybe later, when I have a need for file Y I will turn it on and retrieve both."

I can achieve everything I want with even lower spec hardware, but this Thinkpad has a faulty trackpad anyway, which is also how I got it for cheap. I have never measured it, but supposedly it consumes around 6W at idle which is low enough for me.

Plex, nzb/sonarr/lidarr/radar/, homeassistant, AD, vpn, teamspeak, lemmy, a blog, wifi controller, cert authority, Pi-hole, mail relay, all data/files etc, backups of email from workspace, zabbix for monitoring, miniflux, windows update cache, quicken server

(Probably some underutilized app I'm forgetting)

lemmy mainly

(copied from an older comment)

I run basically all of the Arr stack, Plex (more friendly to my less tech savvy family then my preferred solution Jellyfin), HAss, Frigate NVR, Obsidian LiveSync, a few Minecraft worlds, Docspell, Tandoor recipes, gitea, Nextcloud, FoundryVTT, an internet radio station, syncthing, Wireguard, ntfy, calibre, searx, traefik, Wallabag, FreshRSS, Kopia, Navidrome, and a few pet projects.

• Nextcloud
• OnlyOffice container
• Jellyfin media server
• Gitea
• DokuWiki
• Woodpecker CI container for building static websites and other CI tasks for hobby projects
• HAProxy load balancer to forward external traffic to the right services
• A pair of web servers hosting various websites/apps
• A pair of Postfix acting as internal mail relays that sends mail through Mailgun
• SaltStack for configuration management
• Munin for monitoring
• MariaDB database for various internal apps
• Four internal BIND DNS servers (two are the primary and replica on virtual machines, then two more replicas on Pis in the event the VMs go down)
• OpenLDAP directory server for centralized auth
• Kanboard for video project tacking
• Postgres database for DaVinci Resolve projects
• UniFi controller
• Backup server hosted on a Raspberry Pi 4 w/ a pair of 5TB external HDDs in a BtrFS mirror

And most importantly: as of recently I'm self-hosting Lemmy and Kbin instances for myself to try them out! Kbin was a pain to setup, but I seem to be liking it more.

It's all running on two Ryzen R7 1700 systems with 64GB of RAM in one and 48GB in the other (long story), and virtual disk storage is done over a 10Gb iSCSI link to a TrueNAS system with two 1TB SSDs in a RAIDz mirror. I've also got an unRAID NAS that hosts my video project files. Pretty smooth overall :D

Pretty much anything I can. It's too much to type out, but my Homepage lists most of it minus any databases or reverse proxies. I also host a one person Lemmy instance. Everything but Lemmy is run on a 2013 gaming PC with Unraid.

EDIT: After posting this, I'll probably end up selfhosting an imgur alternative too...

Why run RockyLinux HV when everything is in a Debian VM anyway?

I just have Ubuntu server running docker on my old workstation which has plenty of RAM to spin up a production-sized workload just to play around.

I’ve setup these images up as Docker containers:

• Portainer
• GitLab
• Nginx
• Neftcloud
• Grafana
• MariaDB
• RabbitMQ
• Redis

Just played around mostly, I haven’t scaled out any full infrastructure schemes yet, but that’s the plan for the workstation. Container and terraform testbed.

I used to self host everything but nowadays I value my time too much so I have moved my data to google drive and back it up to a local hard disk periodically. Photos go to iCloud and google photos. iCloud is running my email domain (previously was google domains/gmail)

I still do run a Plex server with my shield tv pro but that’s mostly to access my TV tuner as I stream my media from google drive directly instead.

I just got tired of taking time away from my family to troubleshoot my services or just live with downtime. I did run a $5 linode to host things for awhile but eventually it just became more cost effective to just refactor things to run natively on various cloud services. I even just redesigned my personal website/blog to run on google sites

I still love to follow the self hosted community, someday I will take my data back just not right now.

I don't really know what I'm doing so I'm currently banging my head against a wall trying to get nextcloud to work alongside a wordpress site both in docker, and this Lemmy is on a linode. I know a lot more about self hosting than I did a month ago that's for sure, I wonder how long until I start trying to use ssh in my dreams.

Nothing too crazy. I use Proxmox on hardware that used to be a gaming rig (4th gen Intel) and I upped the RAM to 32GB.

• Plex
• Home Assistant
• NextCloud
• VM to host Duplicati + Samba which backs up some shared storage.
• VM that contains the extremely specific build environment for one of my mechanical keyboards
• VM that contains my ESP Home environment.
• VM for Docker based web development because as good as WSL is, it still sucks sometimes.

Some of my “VMs” are actually LXCs but I can’t remember which are which at the moment.

Playing with ZFS was fun too, and it puts all that RAM to good use!

I’ve also been meaning to create a VM for Dokku, but I haven’t had a strong enough need yet.

• *arr media services
• tailscale
• mullvad
• Jellyfin
• qbittorrent
• pihole
• unbound
• Minecraft server
• Portainer-CE

On an OrangePi with a powered USB hub using a bunch of SSDs.

All except the Minecraft server running on Podman.
