I have a few raspberry pis, running Home Assistant, Unifi controller, PiHole... Otherwise i have DigitalOcean droplets, one hosts my Lemmy instance, and another hosts a couple of side project websites (my wife's freelance business, and some other stuff)
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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (donβt cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

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.
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)
Feel free to take it as a chance to present yourself to the community!
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. π
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
Late to the party and after reading through some of these setups I may have to expand mine soon (it never ends does it?), here is what I have right now.
Unraid (Dell R720XD, dual Xeon E5-2670 v2, 64GB RAM, 12 x 6TB in 12 disk array with 2 parity disks, 800GB SSD cache pool)
-NextCloud
-Plex
-Emby
-Gitea
-Backrest
-MariaDB
-Netbootxyz
-Trillium
-Traccar
-Vaultwarden
-Adguard-Home
-Unifi
-Homebox
-Nessus
-Headscale
-Collabora
-*arrs
-Jupterlab
-Mealie
-SearXNG
-IT-Tools
-EmulatorJS
-Youtube-DL-Material
Proxmox (old Intel server S2600WT2, dual Xeon E5-2620 V2, 768GB RAM, 5 x 2TB disks):
-Zap2XML
-Immich
-Mumble
-NextPVR
-Stirling-PDF
-WebTop
-Frigate
-MCServer (gameserver)
-SDTDServer (gameserver)
-SFServer (gameserver)
There are some other things floating around in my homelab that aren't really 'selfhosted' things, just important to the home network:
3 HP Microserver Gen8's
-x1 with ESXi hosting pfSense
-x2 with TrueNas Scale for backups
R610 with ESXi for a few remote desktops and Home Assistant (which I'm sure I'll move to docker at some point).
Presently, my Fediverse presence is mostly self-hosted by one definition or another. This Lemmy instance lives on my server, and my Masto is hosted by a company dedicated to exactly that because it's dirty cheap and one fewer thing for me to worry about.
Looking to add to the list.
I might be the only person self hosting a gopher server. Its running on a Raspi 4 on my home network, using Flask Gopher.
Aww man I remember those well. Is this for nostalgia or do you regularly use it?
I cover most of what services Iβm running in my own post looking for assistance recently.
- website
- dns
- adblocking
- home assistent
- home gallery
- eve-ng
- check_mk
- nagios
- git
- ansible
- backuppc
- zoneminder
- unifi controller
- central syslog
- syslog2irc
- kodi
- 3x moodeaudio
Ohh, I'd love to share.
Running most services as docker/ kubernetes containers.
Currently running Plex (previously Jellyfin, maybe will switch back) for media streaming.
Grocy for food/task/family organisation (grocery list and so forth)
Piehole for home ad-blocker and proxy ππ»ππ»ππ»
I host a nextcloud sever (snap) and a minecraft server on a laptop I no longer use
I used to host a ton of stuff, now I just host my WordPress site on Linode.
I have toyed with the idea of selfhosting a Lemmy server, but that's a project for another day.
Got a proxmox node with a couple of vm's, mostly for hosting docker.
I'm considering switching proxmox for kubevirt, but I'd have to deploy all my container as either k8s deployments or create new vm for docker...
Been using prometheus at work lately and I want to create a push setup with thanos backend, but for now it's just an idea
I run one main hypervisor with a bunch of different Ubuntu server VMs that I spin up as I mess with different things. I'm old-school so I am not a fan of cloud computing or even docker. Services I host that I use the most are NAS (samba), plex, pi-hole, dokuwiki (huge documentation nerd), and zoneminder which is a great open-source security cam software.
I run everything I can out of containers. It makes remembering all the changes I made easy, and reverting them even easier. My hardware is a generic PC in my closet.
I'm running:
- Jelly Fin
- Transmission Torrent
- Next Cloud (I have mounted Jellyfin and Torrent's volumes within the Next Cloud instance so I can access them from there, very convenient)
- Home Assistant
- Wire Guard
- A printer daemon so my old printer from 2008 can do wifi printing (I refuse to upgrade)
- A scanner daemon so I can wifi scan too (scanservjs)
- A tool to expose my UPS as a battery Home Assistant can monitor
- Traefik (big pain but great payoff)
- Watch Tower to keep the public facing stuff automatically updated
- Automatic Ripping Machine which... is almost good but I'm generally disappointed with. It's still worth using though.
- ESPHome which lets me make my own smart home devices with ESP family microcontrollers. I've made my own smart window blinds and smartified an air conditioner.
- Minecraft/Factorio depending on the mood of my friends and I.
But that's not all, I also installed OpenWRT on my router, more out of necessity because it didn't have features my ISP required. That's running:
- ... actually everything else about it is pretty standard.
I have a Raspberry Pi running OctoPrint for a 3D printer in the corner. I would have preferred to have ran that on my server to save on power and save a Raspberry Pi but I don't have a long enough USB cable.
I have a few things going on. I've been blogging some of my notes on how I'm getting some things going in Docker. But I only relatively recently started sharing my notes so there's not a ton yet. Hopefully there's something useful for someone here. https://magnus919.com/tags/selfhosting/
I got
- A RAID NAS for general
- A Firefly-iii instance for expense analysis and stuff
- And MQTT broker for my ESP32 projects
- A webdav server for calendar and address book syncing and general file syncing for some things like joplin
There are probably other things that I don't remember right now.
In terms of hardware I got a 6 core AMD 5600X machine with a 5700XT GPU and 16GB of ram for almost all my services and personal use.
I also have an AMD 3600 machine with 3x8TB harddrives for network storage.
I just started months ago, but I have a yunohost server ona raspberry with nextcloud and forgejo on it :)
I self-host:
- A Matrix homeserver
- A Pleroma instance (basically Mastadon but different implementation)
- Tiny-Tiny-RSS
- Nextcloud
- Gitea
- Headscale
- Jellyfin
- Wikijs
I rent a low-budget dedicated server from a data center - it only has about 4 cores and 8GB of RAM, but that's more than enough for my needs. Most importantly it has 2TB of hard drive space (for Nextcloud & Jellyfin) which is why I upgraded from my prior VPS.

Hello :)
I'm not really a "selfhoster" but I thought I'd present myself anyway since you asked :D
I do a little bit of it but only for personal use, I don't have the skills to selfhost for public use.
I have Gitea, Planka, Dokuwiki, Apache+MariaDB, and self-compiled World of Warcraft server emulators (TrinityCore, CMangos and AzerothCore).
