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.

A simple question to this community, what are you self-hosting? It's probably fun to hear from each-other what services we are running.

Please mention at least the service (e.g. e-mail) and the software (e.g. postfix). Extra bonus points for also mentioning the OS and/or hardware (e.g. Linux Distribution, raspberry pi, etc) you are running on.

I've been running Arch Linux on a Gigabyte Brix with two USB HDDs for... years now. At least 8. On and off, there were several services, but mostly, this device is meant to host

  • NFS and SMB file shares
  • syncthing, because I can't get my Macbook to use the network shares in a performant way
  • plex media server
  • nginx with mariadb for a privately hosted database of a German TV show (Tatort) and also a self-made expense tracker
  • paperless-ngx for electronic document management
  • traefik as a reverse proxy
  • heimdall to remind me what's there :)
  • a couple statically generated web sites
  • changedetection.io to check some websites for changes
  • watchtower to at least notify me when new docker images are available
  • portainer to have kind of a dashboard for all services
  • youtube-dl-material
  • dokuwiki as a second brain

Since Arch Linux is rolling, it sometimes simply breaks after an update. But since the services have gotten more critical for me over time (especially plex :) ) I plan on putting some of the services to a host in the cloud behind a WireGuard VPN. Also, the Brix should be re-installed with Ubuntu or Debian some day.

Pretty much everything to be fair:

  • Email with Roundcube
  • Chat with Matrix-Synapse + Element
  • My files with Nextcloud, easily one of my most used self-hosted apps
  • RSS with Miniflux (open to change, as soon as I find any RSS backend with a usable Android app)
  • My social network presence, with Pleroma (again, subject to change, as soon as I know how to properly move my domain to a different software tool)
  • My media, with Jellyfin
  • Peertube to watch videos from other instances and comment on them
  • And finally, all of the above protected with a password vault from Vaultwarden

EDIT: For those wondering, I use @yunohost@mastodon.social ( https://yunohost.org ) as my server manager

[–] jinks13@infosec.pub 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Home server is currently running;

  • Firefly III (accounting software for me and the wife)
  • Deemix (I can scrape all the flacs I want)
  • Droopy (Fileshare (Deemix downloads save to it))
  • Portainer (Docker web client)
  • Firefox (Chat-GBT has blocked my VPN so I run Firefox from the server bypassing the VPN)

All the above are running in Docker.

On the to-do list;

  • wiki.js ( This is a demo for work, hopefully get the go ahead to move all IT documentation away from doc and folder)
  • Snip-IT (Again demo for work, so we can move away from an excel file)

At home on multiple Pis: OpenMediaVault HomeAssistant Raspbee (Zigbee module) Unifi controller

Server 1 (Ubuntu): Wireguard

Server 2 (Ubuntu): Nextcloud Trillium Gitea Vaultwarden Calibre Web Vikunja Photoprism Paperless

All services only run on the Wireguard interface.

And I am looking into some billing tools for my side-gig.

File storage, mainly. I have 2 NAS devices (one Synology I picked up in 2014, and an Unraid device I just built a couple months ago) - the former holds 13TB and the latter currently holds 35TB with plans to bring it to 100TB as I get money for more drives.

The Unraid system has a Youtube-dl instance running to auto-pull videos from the channels I follow, and I also run my Plex server from it. The Synology only has a Git server on it that I use to keep local copies of repos that I store on GitHub, along with personal projects that I'd rather not publish (even as private repos) in the cloud.

I am running Mealie (recipe management site) and pi hole (network ad blocker) on an old MacBook Pro (2012?) loaded with Ubuntu server. Also have Plex media server running on my main computer (Pop OS)

Just Jellyfin on my Win10 PC. Been thinking of getting a NAS but it's quite daunting for me to start that process. Been looking for a Synology to at least start somewhere

I've got a Raspberry Pi running Portainer on DietPi OS hosting a Discord bot, ACME certificate manager, reverse proxy; a second DietPi pi hosting Sonarr and Radarr and an automatic ripping machine; a pi NAS ruining open media vault; and my Linux gaming system also has Portainer running Jellyfin.

These days I just got a plex server and a project zomboid server running.

  • Sonarr and Radarr for automatically renaming and sorting
  • Prowlarr and QBittorrent for downloading
  • Filebrowser as a kind of light-weight cloud
  • Caddy docker proxy for handling every service a subdomain
  • And a bunch of other tools for sysadmin tasks

I've got a Nextcloud instance that I've run for a few years. Love it. At home I have an Odroid H3+ with 64GB of ram running Openmediavault. Got about a dozen containers running on that. I need to play with it more and use that ram. I did try to get Boinc running on it but it, sadly, kept shutting down. I'll have to find a another way to contribute to science.

I am running a Ryzen 5700x with 48GB of RAM. I use it as my always on desktop/gaming computer/server running Gentoo Linux. The few services I use are:

Pihole NFS (File sharing between my *nix computers) Netatalk (AFP File sharing between my PowerPC macs) Samba (Media sharing to an old laptop running LibreElec)

It's not a lot but it makes everything so much easier.

[–] kunev@fedia.io 3 points 2 years ago

Across my and some family members' homes:

  • pihole and openvpn via pivpn(sharing a pi4 in each house)
  • transmission and minidlna (another pi4 with an external hdd)
  • folding@home (on a beefier Intel NUC)
  • homeassistant (same NUC)
  • one house has a funkier setup running on a NUC with homeassistant, appdaemon, influx, grafana and a custom django app that manages them all so they do aome fancier automation for heating/cooling and power consumption

On the internet:

  • a pretty much abandoned blog in Bulgarian built with hugo and deployed on gitlab pages
  • a single user akkoma instance I've migrated off of, but am still keeping for no logical reason, running in docker on a Hetzner VPS
  • a calcley instance that's my current main home on the fediverse, also in docker on a separate Hetzner VPS, this one setup a bit less amateurishly, behind cloidflare and using R2 for sorage
  • a nitter instance for those terrible cases when someone sends me a link to The Bad Place that I still want to see.
  • I set up a bibliogram and proxytok on the same VPS as the nitter instance, but those no longer work after some agressive API changes on IG and tiktok.

I have a Jellyfin server, which has been absolutely amazing. It's accesible remotely via my domain, too. So my whole family and some friends can watch stuff / listen to music through it. Super happy with it.

I also have a Minecraft server. We don't use it much, but it's always there, and it's not going away. Which is something I've always wanted since I first put up an MC server a decade ago.

Besides that, my website and a bunch of personal scripts are all hosted from home :)

[–] jkjustjoshing@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi

I really want to get something like a Synology NAS to run a media server / VPN server / PiHole / NAS server on, but I don't have $500-$1000 to drop on new hardware right now.
