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.

  • plex (on its way out) (media)

  • jellyfin (not yet migrated across) (media)

  • vault warden (password manager)

  • nextcloud (photo storage, secondary to one drive)

  • home assistant (smart home hub controller thing) vault warden is actually hosted in a container in home assistant.

  • nginx pm (proxy manager)

  • octoprint also sits on the server (3d print server)

all run under proxmox in a variety of containers and vms. hardware is a ryzen 5 something mini PC from aliexpress with 32gb ram, 2 * 1tb nvme hdd in zfs raid for vms. It's fast, and silent, and cheap to run.

on an old hp n40l microserver I run unraid with a deluge container for torrents. the unraid hosts the storage for plex/jellyfin/nextcloud.

am amazed at the stability of it all. it just works!

plex (on its way out) (media)
jellyfin (not yet migrated across) (media)

Any reason for switching? I am pretty happy with Plex, espcially how my friends can just open it and play my stuff.

Pi zero running pihole

unRAID server running

  • Plex
  • Sonarr
  • Radarr
  • Scrutiny
  • ArchiveTeam warrior
  • And much more

I only turn the unRAID server on when needed however. The summers here in Denmark is beginning to be unbearable, so I don't need any more heat in my apartment.

I've got 3 "servers" at home right now.

  • Raspberry Pi 4B 8gb: "RPINode0"
  • Raspbery Pi 4B 8gb: "RPINode1"
    • hosts a few internal websites / APIs for staging (controlled via the docker API)
    • hosts Home Assistant for me
  • Unraid NAS: "Moonturtle"
    • NGINX Proxy Manager: for exposing stuff to the internet
    • Nextcloud: for file management and access. Most of my family uses this as opposed to Google Drive.
    • Umami: website analytics
    • Jellyfin: for watching movies and tv shows I've ripped
    • Uptime Kuma: uptime monitoring and reporting
    • DDNS updater: dynamic DNS updater so I can keep my DNS records up to date (don't have a static IP)
    • Portainer: for managing docker instances on RPINode1
    • MySQL/PostgreSQL/Redis: provides database services to all the stuff listed above
    • Flower: for monitoring Celery queues used by a few of my applications.
    • WireGuard: VPN for remote management of the server and access to the services I don't have exposed outside my network

  • Vaultwarden
  • ntfy
  • immich
  • AdGuard Home
  • Syncthing

Mostly running as docker containers on a custom built miniserver using Ubuntu 22.04 as the OS.

[–] inatux@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I have DietPi running on an RPi 4 with 4GB RAM.

Everything here is hosted in docker containers:

  • Portainer (docker management)
  • Nginx Proxy Manager (for reverse proxy)
  • Nextcloud (file storage + calendar)
  • Kanboard (task management + kanban board)
  • Homepage
  • Transmission (behind VPN with Flood web frontend)
  • Jellyfin media server
  • A Discord bot for my server
  • Watchman, my RSS feed to Kindle setup (https://github.com/andrwcnln/watchman)

I've probably forgotten some things but that's the main bulk of it. Can't recommend DietPi enough if you are looking for a super lightweight OS for you Pi server, has been perfect for me so far. Here are some things I am looking to host in the future too:

  • ntfy (for push notifications)
  • Apache server for my websites
  • Pi-hole
  • Plausible (a replacement for Google analytics for websites)
  • Vaultwarden

Debian 9 running a webserver with Nextcloud, mostly. Also currently trying to get Matrix to work on a temporary Debian 11 device but we'll see how that goes.

[–] bunkbed@feddit.uk 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wayyy too much for my lil old PC server. Its pegged at 40% swap usage, that's after a RAM upgrade.

Alpine Linux running services in podman. Deployments use ansible.

Got a few disks fused together + snapraid redundancy.

All services go through Nginx, plus a couple static sites generated with hugo.

Authentik for single sign on everywhere I can.

Matrix: Synapse + mautrix WhatsApp, Signal bridges for private chats. A public Conduit server for big online chats. Element and Cinny clients, I can't pick a fave.

Nextcloud because I have to.

Jellyfin for movies, shows and music. The Arr suite for managing my media. Transmission openvpn container for getting Linux ISOs and other legal media.

Vaultwarden super light betwarden server - I love this.

Forgejo git server is fantastic.

Monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana.

Umami for web stats.

Pihole for filtered DNS.

A tiny minetest server for the LAN.

That's pretty much it. I love this thing.

[–] kresten@feddit.dk 3 points 2 years ago

...and other legal media...

Lol

[–] blayde@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago

I only host one service for myself: Navidrome on a raspberry pi zero. Lets me stream my full music library from anywhere. Been using it ever since GPM shut down

[–] Scrappy@feddit.nl 3 points 2 years ago
  • Home Assistant (running on RPi, proxied to VPS)
  • Zigbee2MQTT (running on RPi)
  • NodeRed (running on RPi)
  • Joplin (VPS, opensource note taking app)
  • Minecraft modded modpack (VPS, statech 1.0.3) Probably a couple more I'm forgetting.

This is all in docker containers behind a reverse proxy using Traefik. Im happy with the setup as it's really versatile and so far hasn't failed me. Biggest upgrade I've done is replacing the SD card of the RPi with an SSD

[–] mondoman712@iusearchlinux.fyi 3 points 2 years ago

Currently just running an SMB share and paperless on my Turing Pi v2, which only has one 8gb Pi at the moment. Hoping to get more Pis and run more things soon.

[–] Eijolend@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

I have a Mini-PC sitting under my TV that is a frankenstein'd together media PC and home server running on Ubuntu.

openemr (testing for viability for a client)
3 instances of TechnitiumDNS
Nextcloud
Graylog
UptimeKuma
ChangeDetection
Zwave-js
MeshCentral
Homepage
Canvas (yes a full instance of canvas. I used to be a college instructor, I have a copy of all my courses)
InvoiceNinja
Matrix
Lemmy
UnifiController
Gameyfin (I don't like this that much... it'll likely get killed)

6 instances of generic docker on LXC running portainer for other services:
diagrams.net (specifically tied into my nextcloud instance)
ghostfolio
it-tools
librespeed
libretranslate
quakejs
rickroll
rxresume
searxng
Ascii starwars
wxrdle

bisq
hrconvert2
And a watchtower instance on each.

VMs:
Proxmox Backup Server
Mailcow
Librenms
freepbx
HomeAssistant
Windows Domain Server (no GUI)
"Media Server" which is a plex stack with all the *arr fixings.
And a vpn bound qbitorrent instance.

Edit:

I missed an old VM that I'm in the process of deprecating out to lxc... Docker01:
Archivebox
Ghost
Bookstack
LibreCaptcha
Wordpress (for a client)
parsedmarc
gitea
grocy
YOURLS
minecraft
opennox
vaultwarden
racktables
tubearchivist

Home Assistant

Nextcloud

Veeam

Need to get a Bitwarden instance going.

[–] Knoll0114@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Classic useless answer but nothing ATM 🙃. I've been travelling for a few months and won't be able to host anything til I get home mid July. However, I do have plans to host a website or two, maybe even a Bookwyrm, Lemmy or Mastodon instance.

[–] proycon@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

To answer my own question:

  • E-mail (postfix, dovecot, rspamd, clamav)
  • Web (nginx), various small websites including my homepage
  • Fediverse Microblogging (Mastodon)
  • Matrix Chat (synapse)
  • XMPP Chat (prosody)
  • Music streaming (mpd, snapcast)
  • Home automation (home assistant and my own lighthome stuff, mqtt)
  • IRC bouncer (znc)

And the basics of course:

  • SSH (openssh)
  • NFS

All running on an Ubuntu Linux server, but everything is containerised into mostly Alpine Linux podman (rootless) containers (and a few lxc containers which I'm phasing out).
