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).

Turns out I have quite a lot of stuff, and yet I'm here thinking I barely have anything! Until now:

  • Nextcloud
  • Kitchenowl (grocery lists)
  • Kavita (ebook manager)
  • Grist (spreadsheets that are databases I guess?)
  • Sharry (file sharing)
  • Changedetection.io
  • A ghost blog
  • Bookstack (like a manual on managing the server)
  • Portainer (manage containers from a webui)
  • Diun (notifies when an update is released for a container. Doesn't have a webui)
  • Homepage dashboard (basically a webpage that shows me my selfhosted services)

All these are running inside Docker containers, on an ancient laptop with a single cpu core and 3 gigs of RAM.

Excited to discover more things to host on that ~~little~~ pretty big guy (somehow its still running well)!

Hello

Let's have a look at the inventory

  • RPI 4B

    • OpenHab (Openhabian actually, so some additional services like Zigbee2MQTT or Grafana)
  • HP EliteDesk 800 G2 i5-6500T, 8GiB RAM - this one is currently the mainstay of my lab, running containers with docker-compose

    • Nginx as reverse proxy (+ fail2ban)
    • Paperless-ngx (+ Redis, Tika, Gotenberg)
    • Jellyfin
    • Minecraft server (+ Mapcrafter)
    • ddclient
    • Heimdall
  • Dell OptiPlex 7060 Micro i7-8700T 32GiB RAM

    • I've gotten this one fairly recently. A real bargain - costed as much as the CPU alone and was in pristine condition. I will be migrating the workload from EliteDesk to this one. I decided to try ProxMox this time though, so I need to learn a bit first. Also perhaps add a second SSD

I selfhost on a 2011 Mac Mini running Ubuntu with 16 gb ram:

  • Metabase (a data library of charts, dashboards)
  • NocoDB (an Airtable replacement that makes it easy for my users to get data into Metabase)

I'm also setting these up on VPS

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Nothing too grand - a couple Discord bots and a few retro shooter servers in the cloud, and also a Raspberry Pi 4 in the living room which serves nicely as a media center and seed box.

I'm hosting Trillium Note for my personal note taking.

[–] hakunawazo 2 points 1 year ago

Currently I play around with a Raspi 4 8GB with docker-compose. Most services are accessible with VPN only:
Caddy (as easy reverse proxy)
Portainer (container dashboard)
Linkding (bookmarks)
Baikal (calendar, todo list to sync with Android by caldav)
Agendav (web calendar frontend)
Dillinger (browser markdown editor with PDF export)
Trilium (note app)
Syncthing (google drive/onedrive alternative)
Seafile (file sharing)
Jellyfin (media server)

Hello, my name is Zingo and I have a selfhosting addition going back to 2016 when I bought my first NAS with docker capabilities.

Community: Hi Zingo! Welcome!

Thank you.

Currently struggling more than even as it starts to take over my life. I have tried over hundreds of services.

I'll try to find strength to list some at a later stage in this healing process. Sorry no bonus points. Maybe in the next session.

Thank you all for this awesome support. I would be lost without you. πŸ’“

Two "servers"

Pi4-8gb; 1TB SSD:

External-facing

  • Pi-hole
  • home assistant
  • web server
  • Calibre
  • Simple games like Minecraft

Dual Xeon; 96Gb Ram; 50TB; bound NICs:

Internal, mostly

  • media: Jellyfin, -arrs
  • Sabnzbd
  • Steam games server (these are external containers)
  • Looking to add cloud files access; just haven't decided what and how, yet
[–] root 2 points 2 years ago

I have a (beefy specd) Intel NUC that's running Proxmox. A few of the VMs mount to my RS1221+ for things like media (Jellyfin), etc.

On Proxmox I run

  • Jellyfin (media server)
  • Home Assistant (home automation)
  • PiHole (DNS)
  • Ansible (For keeping everything up to date and applying bulk actions)
  • NGINX Proxy Manager (so I can access things locally with a nice URL)
  • VM to host my Discord bots
  • Whoogle (Search engine)
  • AMP game server

Probably missing a few, but that's the jist

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I have Vaultwarden running on an old laptop, so I definitely don't have much going on. Reading through these comments gives me plenty of ideas on what else to run though!

[–] freddy 2 points 2 years ago

I use proxmox on my server. I virtualize opnsense (with adguard and wireguard), jellyfin, unifi, home assistant, and syncthing.

I have a synology ds220j w/ 2x10tb

Hardware: Intel 12100, 32gb ram, i350-t4 network card TP link TL-SG108E switch

I'm going to move opnsense to a dedicated box eventually

[–] mosjek 2 points 2 years ago

Hardware:

  • CPU: 2x Intel Xeon E5-2695v4
  • RAM: 256GB ECC
  • Storage: 4x256GB Enterprise SSD, 4x2TB SSD (ZFS Striped Mirror)

Software:

  • pfSense
  • Proxmox
  • k3s with Flux and Longhorn
  • Gitea
  • Woodpecker
  • UniFi
  • FreshRSS
  • Grafana / Loki
  • Ntfy
  • Paperless-ngx
  • Vaultwarden
  • Minio
  • Syncthing

I purchased the server used. The services are mostly running in a virtualized cluster, which is absolutely oversized for the current tasks. However, it has motivated me to learn Kubernetes and the power consumption is within my limits.

First post in the world of Lemmy! Woot! Another Reddit escapee. I can't for the life of me understand the management team at Reddit. I get that they need to make money and that they're pissed off at the AI guys for pilfering their data but the people who contribute to the subreddits and moderate them for free are why Reddit is such a success. Why would you screw them over? It's so short sited. If you're pissed at OpenAI then talk to them and figure out how they can pay for your API access but don't screw the people that made you a success. They can afford to spend a little of the VC/Microsoft money. Okay...off the soap box now.....

Up until very recently I was running all my services on a HP DL380 Gen9 server. Beautiful server but sucks back electricity like a drunk on New Years Eve and is way too noisy for my office. Purchased 4 different Tiny PCs (3 Lenovos and 1 Dell).

One Lenovo (AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 2200GE with 32GB RAM) is running RockyLinux with Docker with 20+ containers currently running.

  • "Sweden Services" - SABnzbd, Sonarr, Radarr and Lidarr
  • Tools - IT-Tools, Pairdrop, CyberChef and Paperless NGX
  • Homelab services - Portainer, Dozzle and Nginx Proxy Manager
  • Info - FreshRSS
  • Media - Plex, Audiobookshelf and Navidrome

I'm constantly playing with different containers - adding, removing, etc. I did try making the switch to Podman as I like the idea of rootless containers but could not for the life of me get things like NFS shares and Portainer integration working and was spending way too much time fighting with it. Will probably try again in the near future.

Then the other 3 Tiny PCs are running XCP-NG with various VMs including my Xen Orchestra, Kali, a couple Windows machines (usually off), Tailscale gateway box and a few others. Again, mostly for testing things out.

Using OpnSense as my firewall. Have a TrueNAS system sharing files and another small Rockstor NAS also.

Looking forward to the community here. Thanks.

Main Server - 37 Containers, 4 VMs

  • Media: Plex, Audiobookshelf, along with everything for a complete *arr stack
  • Network: Cloudflared, NginxProxyManager, Tailscale, Gluetun (for *arrs)
  • Other: Authelia, OpenVSCode, Filebrowser, SFTPGo, Bitcoin Node to support the network
  • VMs: Parrot, Windows 11 for local and remote gaming, Windows 3.11 (because why not), currently spun up myNode to see if I want to explore hosting a Bitcoin Ligtning Node

Smarthome Server - OptiPlex 3050

  • Containers: mqtt, NodeRed, zigbee2mqtt, homebridge, tailscale, pihole (paired with my phone usually)
  • VM: HomeAssistant

Testing Server - OptiPlex 7060
Lately been testing and making stuff using linuxserver/docker-baseimage-kasmvnc.

  • Arduino-IDE running in a container - with USB hotswap.
  • Featherwallet and Electrumwallet (I use a HW-Wallet for HODL).
  • Lutris, got it working with Hearthstone, but didn't really have a use for it.
  • Nomachine in kasmvnc, to (somewhat) smoothly access my VMs through the webbrowser when I just need something fast.
    Linuxserver Firefox.

XMR Mining Server - Old tired HP SFF
Basicly everything from this guide by seth for privacy; monerod, p2pool, tor, watchtower, and a python-webserver to expose metrics/api.

[–] bruj0 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I self-host in a rented server. I wrote about my adventures here: https://github.com/bruj0/ProxmoxIPv6

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

I've been working on expanding my homelab recently. I have a physical box at home serving as an LXC host along with a few VPSes. I'm now up to:

  • Some static web sites
  • Nextcloud
  • Jellyfin
  • Forgejo
  • NTFY
  • A reverse proxy
  • An IRC server
  • A Gemini server
  • A VPN
  • DNS servers

I think I read an old blog post once that said "Servers tend to multiply like rabbits" and it's 100% true.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Ah, I forgot to add AdGuardHome…

[–] irreducible12302 1 points 2 years ago

A few things I haven't seen in the comments which I'm really happy with are:

  • Vikunja
  • Scrutiny
  • Kimai

Other things which were mentioned already:

  • Searx-ng
  • Gitea
  • Paperless-ngx
  • Calibre-web
  • Matrix (synapse)
  • Nextcloud
  • Jellyfin
  • Uptime Kuma
  • Mealie
  • FreshRSS
  • Vaultwarden
  • Photoprism

All running in docker containers behind a caddy proxy.

[–] TitanLaGrange 1 points 2 years ago

I host a variety of stuff (Plex and GitLab being the most-used).

As a reminder, make sure you've got a backup plan. The PC I have my stuff hosted on just died (cause unknown), so my stuff is offline until I have time to fix it.

Everything is in Docker so in principle it's pretty easy to recover, but that box is the only not-laptop I've got and I don't have the hardware on hand to bring up the drives on anything else, so stuff is going to be down for a bit. Not a big deal, all the important stuff is backed up elsewhere, but my media library is annoyingly inaccessible for a few days.

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

Just reset my R620 running proxmox and have Cloudflare tunnel setup for some of my non-media streams

  • gitlab
  • NPM
  • *arr instances

And then using NPM to proxy everything over https including jellyfin to local IPs
