Selfhosted

Jellyfin, Shinobi, and more recently NextCloud. Looking into Home Assistant and Paperless.

Shinobi's on a Pi4 and the Jellyfin/NC are on a mini PC.

Nextcloud, Jellyfin, my own personal photography website, and a Valheim server, all done via docker-compose because I haven't spent the time to learn other container tech yet. I've been hearing a lot about podman, what are the benefits over docker for you?

I have plex with radaar, sonaar + nzb + vpn. Stuck a 10tb HD in my pc (ryzen 7 3700x + 2070s) for my plex library and just leave it running.

I’m not an IT guy so I am happy I’ve had it running flawlessly for 6ish months. Will probably upgrade to a dedicated NAS in a year or so.

Since I built my pc, I feel fairly comfortable with the idea of building a NAS from the ground up. I want to use one of those NVIDIA graphic cards that allow more than 4 1080p encodes (I think that’s what it’s called).

I’ve always been curious about the pihole… one day.

Outside of jellyfin & pihole, I have no idea what anything else is.

At home I have a Dell Power edge tower running Yunohost. The apps on there are Nextcloud, Navidrome, Gotify and HomeAssistant. It reaches the internet via tunnel to a wireguard server on an Ubuntu vps. I also have another vps which hosts Jellyfin, qbittorrent and the *arrs. I set that up using swizzin community edition on Ubuntu.

That media setup took a long time and many iterations to get working smooth. I tried a few docker-based setups early on, but none of them were simple enough for me to understand. For the home server, I've never had a reason to look for alternatives. Yunohost is awesome.

Everything is running on a Synology NAS. Media lives on a 16TB raid array of HDD, and the containers themselves on a RAID 1 of two NVMe SSDs. This helps with spinning down the HDD when not in use and overall power consumption is very reasonable.

On the host:

• Tailscale to connect remotely
• Synology Photo as a great photo library

Then everything in Docker containers, deployed via compose stacks from Git and Portainer, very easy to update! Also using Watchtower to automatically updates containers that are using the “latest” tag.

• arr stack. With notably Recyclarr that allows to sync from TrashGuides the recommended media quality profiles
• Jellyfin
• Miniflux for RSS. Recently switched from Feedly… it’s so much better. Allows full text extraction when the feed isn’t.
• Calibre + Calibre Web for the interface, ebooks management
• Home Assistant + Zigbee2mqtt for home automation
• Nginx proxy manager to reverse proxy a handful of services (those with shared logins, e.g. Jellyfin…)
• Paperless-Ngx for documents management
• Change detection for websites monitoring (e.g. price changes…)
• Flame for a simple “dashboard” with all these links

Radarr, Sonarr, Jellyfin, handmade image and video scraper, Firefly, Minecraft, Minetest, Factorio, and a handmade image/video browsing/tagging web app.

So far, a small amount. I just upgraded to my busted RPi to a refurb Optiplex 9020 and got brave enough to finally try out Docker 😂

• Calibre
• Portainer
• Home Assistant (a work in progress, having networking issues since that’s where I lack know how)
• Libreddit
• Jellyfin (to replace Plex)

I’ve got it on Tailscale along with my Synology NAS and the rest of my machines.

Love this community for all the ideas and guidance I get looking at other setups!

Mailcow for selfhosted email.

File sharing / storage via SSH, Minecraft server.

osTicket, Radarr, Sonarr, Bazarr, Plex, SABnzbd

Initially I was using rocky+podman but inevitably hit something I wanted to run that just straight up needed docker and was too much effort to try and get working. 🤷

Can you clarify some of the things you got stuck on with podman? I currently have a docker-compose based setup that I'm pretty happy with, but am rebuilding and am planning to experiment with podman play with k8s-style manifests as an alternative to compose. It's still not clear to me whether podman is going to simplify my life or make it worse compared to docker and compose, and I'm curious about your insights and why you backed off from that architecture.

I need to get on paperless ngx still.. Partner's trying out grocy too but it's not part of the club yet

Uhhhhh, I would need to shell into my host and check what isn't running...

I only self-host a MediaWiki website at the moment, along with a PPSSPP adhoc server for said game that the wiki is related to. I want to self-host a lot more stuff, but storage space is expensive, and I don't really want to leave things running at home all the time either as it will eat into my electricity bill.

Nextcloud and OnlyOffice are what I'm interested in next, and perhaps a Fediverse platform.

One thing I've not been able to find, unfortunately, is a good replacement for subsonic for my 1.5TB mp3 and FLAC collection.

Everything I've tried to host dockerized has just crawled.

But other than that, hosting mostly for nyswlf..

The typical arrs, subsonic, spotweb, pinhole, duckdns, caliber, calibre web, qbittorrent via a dockerized vpn client

All containerized

Only PiHole and Nextcloud

Plus a bunch of other Apps I've forgotten about and a lot of the *arrs

Thank you for your service
