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.

  • plex (on its way out) (media)

  • jellyfin (not yet migrated across) (media)

  • vault warden (password manager)

  • nextcloud (photo storage, secondary to one drive)

  • home assistant (smart home hub controller thing) vault warden is actually hosted in a container in home assistant.

  • nginx pm (proxy manager)

  • octoprint also sits on the server (3d print server)

all run under proxmox in a variety of containers and vms. hardware is a ryzen 5 something mini PC from aliexpress with 32gb ram, 2 * 1tb nvme hdd in zfs raid for vms. It's fast, and silent, and cheap to run.

on an old hp n40l microserver I run unraid with a deluge container for torrents. the unraid hosts the storage for plex/jellyfin/nextcloud.

am amazed at the stability of it all. it just works!

How much did you pay for the mini PC?

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

oh hey! It was $670 australian dollars, with no ram, no hdd, no wifi. so bare bones. this was back in October 2021. It's now a fair bit cheaper. This is the aliexpress link if interested. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003331392517.html?spm=a2g0s.12269583.0.0.60c06558Sa8ykB
