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.

I have a jellyfin server on a pi4. I recently bought a dell micro pc, but haven't had the motivation to move the jellyfin server over to it yet.

[–] JTR@lemmings.basic-domain.com 1 points 2 years ago

Lemmy (since why not), portainer, Plex & Jellyfin (I mostly use Jellyfin), vaultwarden, qbittorrent, autobrr, virtualmin, couple of ircd servers, nginx proxy manager, couple of websites and considering actually selfhosting email even with all that crap that comes with it. Probably a few I've forgotten about

VFIO KVM/ QEMU GPU passthrough for Windows VM for Solidworks. A forked program that I've turned into something completely different, I took some random http server from github and made it convert PDFs to Excel, linked it to my website so it can be used. Got a small network share for all the movies I've got which is kinda a lot Made a VM with a dedicated nic for managing my websites

Everything is on One PC, got 4 more systems that have no purpose and are there if this one dies so I have reserve. Any ideas on how to repurpose them? Also on todo list is an self hosted mail server that I'm yet to do because of domain issues. They are expensive lol

MeshCentral for providing remote IT support. I run it in a lightweight VM on very modest hardware (ancient Core 2 system I had kicking around) and it works great. The sheer breadth of features is damn impressive and I'd consider it among some of the best open source projects in terms of UI. No middleman like TeamViewer or Splashtop, and it only costs me a bit of time and hardware.

This is my little setup at work

Kubernetes cluster (created by kubespray)

Raspberry Pi 3

  • Home assistant
  • syncthing

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.

[–] marsxyz@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

How is the home assistant doing?

[–] rufus@vlemmy.net 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Currently running OPNsense on my primary router/firewall appliance, with a WireGuard VPN so I can access my self-hosted stuff remotely without exposing more of an attack surface.

Actual things I’m hosting:

  • Vaultwarden
  • Nginx Proxy Manager
  • Pi-hole

Those are all running on a Libre LePotato.

Currently that’s all the hardware I have, but I’m hoping to expand as time goes on. Next step is setting up a proxmox machine (I have an old desktop but it generates too much heat for where I want to store it)

My general rule is to not self host things that are good enough / free (as in $$ not FOSS). So I don't host email or music. I'm not a huge music person so spotify does the job, and gmail's been great since it started.

Things I do host

  • media server (jellyfin + sonarr/radarr etc)
  • stable diffusion image generation server
  • games (starbound mostly, killed minecraft after microsoft takeover)
  • lemmy
  • comics/manga server (komga)
  • yt-dl web interface

Nextcloud, Calckey, HomeAssistant, AdGuard Home, Serge, Octoprint (probably forgot something)

Some of it running in a data center. Some of it running local either on dedicated hardware or on Proxmox.

I host the following in my house:

  • Nextcloud
  • ManicTime (tho this isn't FOSS, but I'm a contractor consultant and love how this works) -Calibre Library/Calibre Web for books -all the *arr's w/ Plex -BaiKal for caldav to manage mine and my mom's life -vikunja for task management -grocy for home erp -bookstack for various notes

the following in digitalocean cause uptime is super important -mastodon -lemmy -matrix -url shortener for fediverse

All are running ubuntu server

[–] kresten 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (4 children)

I plan on getting a server this summer (building it myself), and the things I have planned this far:

  • bitwarden
  • monica
  • minecraft
  • factorio
  • email server
  • maybe pihole
  • maybe lemmy
  • jellyfin

Edit: forgot jellyfin

Last year I downsized from an old HP tower server with a xeon, and 8x 1tb SAS HDDs, to a single Intel NUC with i5 and 4x 4TB SATA HDDs.

I run Proxmox on it, with several VMs.

  • Gerbera - DLNA/Upnp server for streaming my media
  • Shinobi - monitors and records my security cameras
  • Syncthing - for keeping backups of important things from my laptop and my phone and my wife's phone.
  • A container with a Python script that is constantly monitoring my solar panel energy production and sends it to pvoutput.org
  • Some VMs with different versions of Centos and PHP for developing and testing webapps on.

I also have a raspberry pi with home assistant and a ZigBee USB adapter, for controlling the lighting in my house.

I've been trying to get docker swarm running across my 4 rpi's, but traefik hasn't been able to discover services (can find them on the same node if the network is a bridge, can't find anything with overlay network) which has been frustrating to try to figure out the problem. That said, here is what I plan to host on the swarm:

  • traefik
  • grocy
  • nextcloud
  • vaultwarden
  • plex
  • nginx (portfolio website that I currently just have on GitHub pages)
  • lemmy instance (for some of you beautiful bastards)
  • readarr, sonarr, readarr, lidarr, prowlarr, sabnzb, and qbittorrent

Mostly WordPress sites. But do have experience with Mastodon self hosting

[–] owatnext@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Plex and an FTP/Samba server on a DS418play.

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

Currently one server as VM host for:

  • Nextcloud
  • Mailcow
  • Apache/PHP/mariadb as both reverse proxy for Nextcloud and the mailcow web interface and webserver for personal and company websites, bitwarden and bookstack
  • Custom backup server (wireguard connections to different sites and incremental backup routines with bash/rsync)
[–] gerowen@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Server 1 OS: Debian Nextcloud Plex

Server 2 (raspberry pi) OS: Raspbian Lite PiHole PiVPN

[–] Malatesta@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I have a few Raspberry Pis hosting

  • PiHole/Wireguard
  • Synching
  • Jellyfin
  • Home Assistant
  • Motioneye
[–] SemioticStandard@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Unifi controller is the only 'real' service I actually keep running. I have various VMs running on Proxmox that I mostly use for testing. Even though I have two physical servers with plenty of compute and memory available, backed by a large NAS and all of hanging off a UPS, I just don't feel comfortable in self-hosting things I deem critical.
