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.

What are YOU self-hosting? (self.selfhosted)

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've got 3 "servers" at home right now.

  • Raspberry Pi 4B 8gb: "RPINode0"
  • Raspbery Pi 4B 8gb: "RPINode1"
    • hosts a few internal websites / APIs for staging (controlled via the docker API)
    • hosts Home Assistant for me
  • Unraid NAS: "Moonturtle"
    • NGINX Proxy Manager: for exposing stuff to the internet
    • Nextcloud: for file management and access. Most of my family uses this as opposed to Google Drive.
    • Umami: website analytics
    • Jellyfin: for watching movies and tv shows I've ripped
    • Uptime Kuma: uptime monitoring and reporting
    • DDNS updater: dynamic DNS updater so I can keep my DNS records up to date (don't have a static IP)
    • Portainer: for managing docker instances on RPINode1
    • MySQL/PostgreSQL/Redis: provides database services to all the stuff listed above
    • Flower: for monitoring Celery queues used by a few of my applications.
    • WireGuard: VPN for remote management of the server and access to the services I don't have exposed outside my network

just curious. what do you use celery for?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I run a web-dev consulting company on the side and I have a few apps that use Celery queues. The main reason you'd want to use celery is to handle more intensive tasks asynchronously in the background.

Some example from my apps:

  • user requests a report: celery task is enqueued to generate the report as a PDF/CSV and email it to them
  • admin adds a new user: celery task is enqueued to send an invite email out to the user, as well as some onboarding emails
  • user requests to modify a large amount of items: multiple tasks are enqueued to update the items in batches of x amount.

Nice! thanks for the explanation. I'll have to see what it can integrate with.
