What are YOU self-hosting?

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.

    • 2009Scape - A little RuneScape Private Server I turn on and off on my desktop when I'd like to afk at work
    • Docker - A couple docker instances - one on my test pi I use to roll out onto my "prod" servers

    • Joplin - Note-taking app - barely a server connected through Nextcloud
    • Plex - Everyone knows about Plex - I'm thinking of switching to JellyFin

  • I host the following in my house:

    • Nextcloud
    • ManicTime (tho this isn't FOSS, but I'm a contractor consultant and love how this works) -Calibre Library/Calibre Web for books -all the *arr's w/ Plex -BaiKal for caldav to manage mine and my mom's life -vikunja for task management -grocy for home erp -bookstack for various notes

    the following in digitalocean cause uptime is super important -mastodon -lemmy -matrix -url shortener for fediverse

    All are running ubuntu server

  • We have experimented with using a home media server through Plex. We got it to work, but we generally do not keep it running all the time.

  • 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'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.

  • Lots. I have 2 proxmox hypervisors and 3 Raspberry Pi's; my OS of choice for servers is Ubuntu Server or Raspbian.
