Hey selfhosters, what are you selfhosting? (chatsubo.hiteklolife.net)

Currently all containerised running on a debian VM on a Rockylinux Qemu/KVM hypervisor. 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. 🤷

Hardware is an circa 2012 gaming machine with a few ZFS raids for all of my Linux ISOs. It lives an extremely tortured existence and longs for the sweet release of death.

Toying with the idea of migrating it all to on-prem virtualised kubernetes cluster using helm charts to manage the stacks and using NFS mounts for persistent storage because I hate myself (and to upskill I guess)

What about you?

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!

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...

Hey, thanks for doing that! I, unfortunately, didn't think about people that would need to use screen readers or the like. Next time I'll wait until I'm at a computer to type it out.

[–] Mojeezy 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

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

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Had never heard of Shinobi, looks interesting - are you using the ~~bear+elephant~~ tensorflow object detection?

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?

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

All running on a Raspberry Pi 4 4GB. Also currently running Plex on a separate Rasperry Pi with a external SSD, but looking into getting a Synology NAS.

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Basically I ran into issues with building images from newer and more complex compose files that podman-compose just couldn't pull apart.

Docker is still the go-to if you want shit to 'just work', it has an easier user experience, it's what the vast majority of developers building containers are using. You can run rootless if you want without too much pain.

It has come a long way but the probability that you'll run into some random edge case or other issue with podman is higher, podman-compose has some thorns (high likelihood you'll need to hack on compose files), if you want containers to start without your interaction you have to bake up systemd unit files for them, etc. I've not messed with podman-kube-play - wasn't even aware of it, so can't really comment as to how well that works.

There's nothing to lose by giving it a go except your sanity and time. 😁

[–] PriorProject 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the insights. I'll see how it goes.

[–] matt 2 points 1 year ago

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.

As someone who's used Podman for a while, though possibly not as extensively as you, what was it you hit that needed Docker? So far I've gotten everything to work with Podman, though sometimes I've had to RTFM and specify some extra command line parameters.
