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.

Last year I downsized from an old HP tower server with a xeon, and 8x 1tb SAS HDDs, to a single Intel NUC with i5 and 4x 4TB SATA HDDs.

I run Proxmox on it, with several VMs.

  • Gerbera - DLNA/Upnp server for streaming my media
  • Shinobi - monitors and records my security cameras
  • Syncthing - for keeping backups of important things from my laptop and my phone and my wife's phone.
  • A container with a Python script that is constantly monitoring my solar panel energy production and sends it to pvoutput.org
  • Some VMs with different versions of Centos and PHP for developing and testing webapps on.

I also have a raspberry pi with home assistant and a ZigBee USB adapter, for controlling the lighting in my house.

From what you are doing with your solar monitoring, you might possibly be interested in this community:

Right now only Syncthing on a Raspi. I'm lazy 😆

I've got 3 "servers" at the moment running lots of fun services.

Dell Optiplex Tower

  • Sevarr Suite
  • Audiobookshelf
  • Calibre/Calibre-Web
  • Nextcloud
  • FreshRSS
  • Paperless
  • Linkding
  • Dillinger
  • HomeAssistant
  • Mealie
  • WikiJS
  • Gitea
  • PiHole
  • Homepage

Old Laptop

  • Project Zomboid Server
  • Minecraft Server
  • copyparty
  • Tinfoil/NUT

Raspi4

  • Klipper/Mainsail
  • Obico
  • VanDam

I also run Plex off of my Desktop, but I plan to build a new server soon to replace the Optiplex that I can migrate it to. I'm also going to be integrating Authentik. Everything is managed using Yacht and running on Ubuntu, then proxied through Cloudflare or tunnelled through Tailscale.

  • NAS: TrueNAS
  • HomeKit Bridge: HomeBridge
  • Spelling/Grammar: LanguageTool Server
  • DBs: MariaDB, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Influx
  • In-memory caches: Memcached, Reddis
  • Dashboards/Alerting: Grafana
  • File Storage/Sharing: Nextcloud
  • Metrics/Logs: Prometheus, Mimir
  • Media: Plex

Most of these are run on a RPi4 cluster (Consul as mesh/discovery, Nomad for orchestration). This list doesn't include stuff on the router/firewall (WG, DNS, filtering, blah blah blah... )

[–] Sudoze@feddit.nl 1 points 2 years ago

I really wish I had the time to make a home cluster over just using cloud. I’ve seen some folks buy broken screen laptops and make a great x86 cluster that way.

[–] StefanT@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago
  • buildbot for archlinux package builds
  • dovecot with fetchmail for mail retrieval
  • fail2ban with very strict rules against all those bots
  • gitea for my own projects
  • home-assistant with some usual backend stuff like knxd, zigbee2mqtt, mosquitto
  • navidrome for the music collection
  • nextcloud with very few apps
  • vdr for recording TV shows from satellite with a smartcard reader for the local television smartcard
  • octoprint on the 3D printer
  • pacoloco, an archlinux package cache
  • paperless for document management
  • teamspeak

All services are configured and deployed using saltstack and monitored with sensu. I do not use containers but I have all services hardened by hardening the systemd service and/or apparmor profiles.

Backups are done using btrbk.

How about what I'm not self-hosting? Lemmy. If anyone has an up to date guide on self-hosting a single user instance of lemmy that is actually easy to follow, that would be great. I just want to control my user account.

[–] Luccajan@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Maybe this will help?

Couple of Dell and Lenovo mini PCs

  • Custom browser start page
  • File server

The other machine just has random VMs for testing things like:

  • Owncloud
  • LAMP
  • Whatever else I run into

A personal porn Server... XD

[–] Zonkko@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

I host a minecraft server for my family

Intel nuc (dont know which one exactly) running MineOS.

[–] hufflebuff@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I have a slightly different setup personally! I am actually happily running a Windows Pro server.

For my Drivepool redundant storage, I am utilizing a cool tool I came across years ago called https://stablebit.com/DrivePool and I've been really happy with it!

I RDP into my server a lot for coding projects, and misc things, almost like a secondary computer. Additionally, I enjoy being able to Steam stream several games from it to my phone or laptop on the go. A surprising number of games are playable in this fashion.

Outside of that, I do selfhost multiple serices:

  • Plex, I actually heavily use it as a self-hosted Youtube alternative by leveraging yt-dlp and some personal tooling I wrote that collates downloaded youtube channels into Collections within my Plex (No ads!) -- Shameless plug tomy tool - https://github.com/KJBurnett/plex-youtube-channel-collections
  • Rocket.Chat for chatting with my close friends
  • code-server - a self-hosted vscode environment. You can literally code on an iPad with the capability and power of a Ryzen 7 behind it. Very cool and fun.
  • gitlab (although it seems fairly heavy for my needs, unsure.)
  • Overseerr - Movie/tv show requesting web app tied into my Plex
  • airsonic - Plex also does music but sometimes it seems to be pretty resource heavy. I run Plex with Plexamp simultaneously with airsonic for the service redundancy currently.

We self-host a Jellyfin instance in our local network for our household.

Our server box is an old workstation machine with 4 TiB of storage and runs Debian.

[–] JTR@lemmings.basic-domain.com 1 points 2 years ago

Lemmy (since why not), portainer, Plex & Jellyfin (I mostly use Jellyfin), vaultwarden, qbittorrent, autobrr, virtualmin, couple of ircd servers, nginx proxy manager, couple of websites and considering actually selfhosting email even with all that crap that comes with it. Probably a few I've forgotten about

[–] sceptri@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

As of right now

  • Vikunja (nice todo app w/ kanban board)
  • Kestra (data orchestration tool/alternative to n8n, huginn, node-red)
  • Bookstack (note taking app)
  • Memos (simpler notes)
  • Home Assistant (for simple home automation)

It is all running via NixOS on an old Chromebook Acer CB3-431.

Works like charm though!

[–] Fly4aShyGuy@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

Bookstack looks very cool, wanted to use it at a previous job for building shared documentation for some projects but couldn't get the buy in.

I have a dedicated server where I run multiple service with podman.

  • Funkwhale (we share musics with a friend)
  • Mobilizon
  • Lemmy
  • Pleroma

All those instance are close for inscriptions they are just for me or friends. I use posftix to relay mail. I have on postgresql instance shared across the services. I use traefik for ssl, I wanted traefik to auto discover the container but it didn't work when I tried maybe it works now.

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

My media library over SSHFS. The server runs Debian 11 and the client is an old Linux Mint laptop in my basement hooked up to a TV. The laptop only has access to my local network.

[–] Enderspearl184@u.fail 1 points 2 years ago

Mostly just a nodejs server running a proxy that I use to mitm myself, editing a file to fix events and the arena in angry birds epic lol

[–] vlad76@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

A Groovy bot replacement for me and my friends.

[–] william@dumbdomain.xyz 1 points 2 years ago
  • Plesk (web stack) - almalinux 8
  • Work VM - Windows LTSC
  • arrstack - Docker
  • Ghost - Docker
  • Convos - Docker
  • Unraid
  • ESXi with vSphere

I'm sure I'm forgetting a few things, but that's mostly what I host here at home. My lemmy instance is on DigitalOcean.
