In the What are YOU self-hosting? thread, there are a lot of people here who are self-hosting a huge number of applications, but there's not a lot of discussion of the platform these things run on.

What does your self-hosted infrastructure look like?

Here are some examples of more detailed questions, but I'm sure there are plenty more topics that would be interesting:

What hardware do you run on? Or do you use a data center/cloud?
Do you use containers or plain packages?
Orchestration tools like K8s or Docker Swarm?
How do you handle logs?
How about updates?
Do you have any monitoring tools you love?
Etc.

I'm starting to put together the beginning of my own homelab, and I'll definitely be starting small but I'm interested to hear what other people have done with their setups.

I run everything on local hardware. 1 Synology NAS, one old desktop (Ryzen 5 5600X) which has been repurposed to a Proxmox node, and a second Proxmox node (i5-6500T). I use Open Media Vault with Docker as my primary host, and I have a CoreOS secondary host that I have a couple of Podman containers on. I'm planning moving stuff to Podman eventually, but I was mostly focused on moving the bare metal OMV host to a vm recently. I have a media share on my NAS that some containers rely on. I also have a NFS share on it that I use for larger data pools (like nextcloud, download folders for torrents).

Everything is: Bare metal Proxmox -> VMs -> Containers. No services running directly
I use Docker (mostly) and a couple of podman containers, moving to podman going forward
Only orchestration is docker-compose (for docker) and systemd (for podman)
No central log server, haven't needed one
