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.

Currently self-hosting on an old HP Z600 I bought second hand with the following specs:

CPU β€” 2x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5660 @ 2.80GHz RAM β€” 96GB ECC DDR3 (6*16GB) Disks β€” 4TB HDD for Ubuntu, 10TB HDD for NextCloud and 2TB Sata SSD for Docker

For services, I'm currently running the following:

##Docker Portainer β€” CF Tunnel FreshRSS β€” CF Tunnel ArchiveBox β€” CF Tunnel Adguard Home β€” Local 2x Uptime Kuma β€” CF Tunnel LinkAce β€” CF Tunnel TheLounge β€” CF Tunnel Watchtower β€” Local

###For public access dockers Feedropolis Mirotalk SFU FiveFilters RSS Taiga 2x Mattermost Servers 8x Wordpress Staging Sites 1x Wordpress Dev Sites

##For ubuntu, I'm running a few services and apps like: ScreamingFrog 9 sites using LAMP stack Aria2c with AriaNG NextCloud Plex 4x WebHooks server for communities Couple of API end points using Apache reverse proxy OpenVPN CrowdSec

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).

[–] Deemo@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I use a combination of a MacMini Oracle cloud, probably not best long term solution but it's free (while it lasts).

Stuff that runs on Oracle:

  • caddy proxy (mostly used for Mac reverse proxy)
  • couch db (obsidian live sync plugin)

Stuff on Mac:

  • blue bubbles (iMessage relay for Android)
  • Plex (for photo backup)

Aside from that not much else 😊

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/

Hi, I have an Unraid server (currently offline due to moving :'-/ ) running

VMs:

  • 2 full flat Windows and Pop_OS! VMs with GPU passed through
  • 2 low resource Windows and Pop_OS! VMs accessible by VNC
  • Home assistant OS

Docker containers:

  • Calibre + Calibre-web: apart from managing my ebook library, calibre goes through my RSS feed and generates daily epub newspaper/magazines that are send by Syncthing to my eink tablet
  • Syncthing: apart from that it also synchronizes my handwritten notes from my eink tablet between my devices
  • Nextcloud: intended to replace Google/Microsoft cloud, but, due to previous apartment's internet connection with PIA triple-ish NAT situation, is only used to backup photo/video from my phone (might change later)
  • EMBY: media streaming
  • Gitea: WIP, not currently used
  • dokuwiki: WIP, intended to acumulate manuals to home appliances and stramlined directions on how to use and maintain them
  • influxDB and Grafana: values and graphs from Home Assistant

The server was born when I merged my desktop PC, that was off and not utilized most of the time anyway, and my off the shelf NAS with 4 drives in raid5, that was slow, loud and could only run built-in garbage services. I ran Emby on Windows on my desktop, meaning I would have to manully turn it on every time I wanted to watch something.

Now my server runs on Ryzen 5 1600 with 48GB of RAM, GTX 1060 salvaged from a minig rig and total of 7 drives - 4 HDDs, 2 Sata SSD mirrored for cache and containers and 1 NVME SSD for VMs.

[–] ThatFunnyGuyver@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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.

I see people listing things I've never heard about...I thought I had spent a considerable amount of time on the old sub and knew stuff. Guess I gotta hit the books.

Right now though I'm hosting everything on a 2012 Mac Mini that's running Proxmox.

Been using these programs for awhile now:

  • Photoprism
  • wireguard
  • web blog testing instance while the live one lives on linode
  • plex
  • filebrowser
  • pi-hole
  • homepage

Nothing crazy but cool stuff to learn in my day to day. I want more hardware but I'm about to buy a house. It's crazy how much I'm throwing at an 11 year old computer and it's handling it all quite well.

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.

[–] festus@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

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.

  • Jellyfin
  • OpenVPN
  • radicale
  • jellyseerr
  • ArchiveBox
  • pydio
  • Nextcloud
  • Ocis
  • pihole
  • CollaboraOffice server
  • Gokapi
  • Seafile
  • Mastodon
  • GoToSocial
  • Signal Proxy

Running xen hypervisor (Debian 12) on a HP Elitedesk 805 Gen6 (currently 10 VMs) at home, a few VPS from different hosting providers too.

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

[–] Ascrod@midwest.social 1 points 1 year 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.

I turned my last two gaming PCs into Proxmox hosts and I have a Hetzner vps that will host something eventually.

2010 Gaming PC:

  • Pihole VM (w/ Unbound)
  • Docker teet VM
  • Piwigo
  • Chevereto

Pihole is running on a keepalived vip that acts as my secondary DNS server. Gravity sync keeps it in line with my main Pihole VM (push/pull) and then I have an old rpi also on the same keepalived vip that has gravity sync set up that pulls from the secondary VM

Anything I run as an evaluation or that needs testing also runs here. This machine gets Proxmox updates first as well.

2016 Gaming PC:

  • unRAID VM
  • Pihole VM (w/ Unbound)
  • Nextcloud
  • Nginx Proxy Manager
  • Gitea
  • Dozzle
  • Docker container registry
  • Diun
  • Caddy (moving away from NPM)
  • Photoprism
  • Jellyfin
  • Plex
  • Tautulli
  • Bookstack
  • Heimdall
  • Netbox
  • Unifi Controller
  • Wikijs
  • Paperless-ngx
  • Uptime kuma
  • Gluetun
  • Deluge
  • Homarr
  • Lidarr
  • Miniflux
  • NZBget
  • Radarr
  • Sonarr
  • Readarr

These are split amongst a few VMs depending on criticality and further broken down to needs (VPN, whether or not I can reboot and not affect my wife/kids, network share requirements.

I'm pretty much always tweaking something and having fun with it
