Welcome to !selfhosted@lemmy.world - What do you selfhost?
Hello everyone! Mods here 😊
Tell us, what services do you selfhost? Extra points for selfhosted hardware infrastructure.
Feel free to take it as a chance to present yourself to the community!
🦎
Well thanks to the soon to be dead /r/selfhosted on reddit I started selfhosting few years ago and now approximately 90% of my stuff is selfhosted:
as daily drivers and several others that I use from time to time.
wait, vscode self hosted?, how
With this Docker image: lscr.io/linuxserver/code-server
Here is a sample docker-compose.yml.
edit: replaced code block with link due to the formatting being a complete mess
Self hosted Vscode? How does that work, like a remote workspace via web or directly in a local Vscode session? Did it handle extensions well?
I haven’t used it in a while, maybe its better. Basically since vscode is an electron app it can run im he browser. You can even use https://vscode.dev which is the official web version. Iirc it didn’t have the same plugins, but it’s pretty much the same thing.
Its super useful when you deploy alongside containers as an easy way to change configs in shared volumes.
Is installing VSCode locally "self hosting"? I thought that was how everybody did it. I just run the executable - no Docker or anything - for coding, testing etc. but I'm not sure what a VSCode "server" would even do.
It can be a few things.
It could be remote workspaces like GitHub codespaces.
But it could also be simpler: vscode is a web app, the native app you install is just an electron wrapper around the web app; so you can host it on a server an use it in the browser.
If this comment is federating then I started hosting my first service -- Lemmy itself.
I'm seeing it from my own selfhosted Lemmy instance!
Nextcloud
Miniflux
Gitlab
HomeAssistant
Wallabag
Ghost (for my personal blog)
Umami analytics
Searx NG
OnlyOffice document server
ntfy
Lychee
LAMP Stack
TheLounge (IRC web client)
Cockpit (server manager)
RSSHub
Jellyfin
Adguard
On an Intel NUC in my closet.
Umami analytics looks exactly like what I was looking for. Thanks! ntfy looks very useful as well.
vSphere cluster on 3 HP Mini EliteDesks:
Standalone Lenovo TS140:
Synology DS1821+:
Misc:
Ok, you've got me curious - Why 3 different active directory domain controllers?
Just for redundancy! One DC VM per physical vSphere host. Each DC also handles internal DNS records for my network.
Very impressive. I gotta ask, how is this feasible cost-wise? Mostly as in licensing for vshpere. I know you can get pretty far in windows server with evaluation keys, butI run an ESXi server on eval mode cuz I'm cheap and have to reset the license every 90 days with some commands and reboot 😅
What is the scale of your network, like is this all just in your house?
and lemmy of course 🙂
Elbullazul@lem.elbullazul.com> Audiobookshelf
I didn't know that existed and now I love it and started up a docker container for it!
Thanks! :D
Also love it - I use it to auto download my podcasts
Audiobookshelf is amazing, been using it for almost a year now and if you're on iOS, check out the Soundleaf app - it's a fantastic native client that connects to your audiobookshelf server and has way better playback controls than the web UI.
Hello
Let's have a look at the inventory
How does mapcrafter run for you now? I'm hosting a vanilla server and that's exactly what I need to see our map. I'm just concerned that it doesn't function properly now due to recent updates.
Thanks!
I will go first 😌
I selfhost codimd, vaultwarden, kuma, immich, home assistant, trilium, hugo, gotify, wakapi and umami. I have one VPS and one custom built NAS at home.
I read you 👀🦎
Hugo? As in your generated site or you have some sort of service that costs hugo that generates and deploys your site or something else?
I have a used Lenovo Thinkcentre mini with an i3-7100T and 16gb RAM. I have Ubuntu server LTS installed on it and I run everything in docker containers.
I host:
Proxmox on a self-built rackserver (Will be building a second one for a proxmox cluster):
Raspberry Pi Zero for Pi-Hole (secondary)
On my Docker Host (All in docker-compose):
A Synology DS220+ for local Storage
A 5TB Hetzner Storage Box for Backups (encrypted)
A Rootserver for Games and some testing in the wild (Currently Windows, will be switched to ubuntu)
Hetzner Cloud Server with mailcow on it
I joined to learn, still not self-hosting anything, but I intend to use an 11yo Compaq laptop (i5, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD) as a server while I'm still practicing. I intend to self-host a lemmy instance and a nextcloud server.
Thanks for everything you guys have been sharing I've already got some good leads, gonna try out YunoHost for starters
Host all the things!
Wordpress, SMTP/IMAP, tor, bittorrent, Nextcloud, Plex, NTP, photo galleries, DoT...
I even started hosting the website for my local Italian restaurant and they haven't even realised it yet.
Wait, what? How are hosting someone else's website?
OK, here's how it happened.
I was hungry, and I wanted to see the menu for my local pizza joint. I couldn't find it anywhere.
I discovered that all their socials linked to a website that wouldn't load. When I checked, the domain had lapsed.
Out of frustration, I purchased the domain and pulled the last snapshot of their website off archive.org. It had their full menu as a PDF.
6 months later and it's still getting visitors from their facebook page, who are viewing the menu. They haven't even realised.
😆
Been self hosting for over a decade at this point. Mix of custom built servers and surplus hardware over the years.
To name a few of my daily servers.
With docker being so easy I have kind of lost track how much stuff i am hosting. A problem i never thought i would have :)
If there is RAM to spare... one more selfhosted service can't be bad hahaha
I have a rented server with 8 Xeon E3-1246 and 64GB at Hetzner where I host:
It's all behind a Traefik instance handling Let's Encrypt and using the Docker socket to route traffic based on labels in docker-compose.yml. Behind these I also run k3s and from time to time some VMs. I also have a 1TB storage pod at Hetzner where I use restic to back everything up from this instance as well as from my home system and laptops.
i don't self-host yet, but i have an old pc in my house, i just need to bring it with me to colege, so i can learn and start self-hosting
Great way to start! My first server was an "old" 2010 server I left at home when I went to college 😄
Hello selfhosters.
Here's my list of stuff:
On a VPS hosted in Germany:
On my home server (my old gaming PC, repurposed)
Hi, thanks for your comment! I just visited your blog and noticed that it loads fairly quickly: I assume you must have some sort of CDN set up. Could you point me to how you went about setting up the CDN for your domain/website? Thanks!
No CDN. The secret is way simpler: It's a static site. Just a bunch of files served directly by Nginx. I use Pelican to generate the site from Markdown files.
I've had new hardware in the basement now for a while, going to slap it together and build a k8s cluster on top of rancher/harvester
Which way are you migrating?
I migrated from Plex to jellyfin.
I tried it out when I couldn't get HEVC files to steam on Plex, and i liked it!
It doesn't have the full ecosystem around it that Plex does, but that's fine by me.
home assistant, freshrss (and a few related services such as rss-bridge), nitter and piped. I tried to host libregrammar, but ran out of memory.
Hosting a whole bunch of stuff for myself, the family and also the public. For the larger family I'm hosting eMail but using a managed service offering for that (Hetzner). Too old to run my own IMAP/SMTP infrastructure ;)
For a few private societies I'm hosting:
For the public I host:
Mostly formyself, but not restricted I'm hosting:
Most services run in Docker Containers on some VPS at Hetzner. Some stuff runs in Docker Containers on old spare hardware at home.
Self hosted email is a brave endeavor, but I always love seeing when people are cool enough to do it
I've got a couple VPSes, hosting
Self hosting email is obnoxious, but it's also one of the only remnants of the traditional distributed internet that's still broadly accepted.
Hi, could you detail how you utilise Asterisk?
I use it to route a commodity SIP provider to a cheap SIP phone and provide local voicemail. It gives an alternative to relying on cell providers for everything. I haven't properly put the effort in to handle SMS, which is a weak point in my setup.
Have you tried FreshRSS for feeds ? I'm pretty happy with it.
I haven't been motivated enough to really look into replacing ttrss. Most of the alternatives I've looked at don't have a decent Android app, which is an element I enjoy with ttrss.
I just got going on matrix and I wish there were better XMPP iOS apps. Chat services without friends don’t work and bad iOS apps keeps people away. After all this time there isn’t a good adoption of XMPP for iOS except iMessage I guess.
@GregoryTheGreat @beigegull I've got a few friends using xmpp apps on iOS, mostly snikket (which is a rebranded siskin). Works well, notifications work as they should, so does audio/video calling, and e2ee works too of course. Monal has apparently gotten better recently
@beigegull @devve Totally agree that your email is basically your de facto identity online. I didn't have the heart to fully host my own mail server but I made the decision to ditch gmail and use my own domain with a hosted provider. I am hosting my own IMAP server so the plan will be to work my way up to where you are eventually...
Dedicated Raspberry Pi4 running Home Assistant on an M.2 SATA SSD.
Custom built server in Lian-Li PC-D600 case. 3x5 Drive SATA backplane. OpenMediaVault is the server software. Following is running in Docker:
Lemmy, mostly :D. I also recently started up my own Matrix home server. I took a stab at email, but it was more trouble than it's worth considering my relatively newly acquired cloud hosting IP is on several blacklists. Now that I actually have a server running again Gitea might be next on the list of services that gets added.
I run a bunch of bots, some databases plus
I have a MediaWiki instance on my laptop (I've found the features of all other wikis/mindmaps/knowledge databases decisively insufficient after having a taste of MW templates, Semantic MediaWiki and Scribunto).
Also some smaller things like pihole-standalone, Jellyfin and dictd.
Curious what you use a local version of MediaWiki for?
Primarily as a personal knowledge database, but also management of what, how and when is to be done (not for reminders or external motivation; rather to form a mental picture and understand the priorities). In future, I'll also use it to track the state of various ongoing affairs as the need arises, and perhaps integrate local programs and APIs into the wiki pages (that's probably where I'd need to write custom MW extensions).
A 6 node k3s cluster with a Synology for network storage running:
Managed with FluxCD.
I'm running a Kubernetes cluster on the Dell hardware, then another single node k8s cluster on the Lenovo, mostly to run Adguard home / DNS in case the big cluster goes down for whatever reason.
Hardware:
I run the following services, all in Kubernetes, with FluxCD doing GitOps from a repo in GitHub (for now, might move to Gitea later):
Mind sharing your Kubernetes config? I'm living off of a bunch of docker compose config files, and I'd love to make the jump to Kubernetes.
DM'd!
I love Monica!
I'm looking forward to see what they do with their new version, chandler
What are the benefits of Kubernetes in a home server?
Since I'm moving very soon I'm also redoing everything, so this more of a "soon-to-be" than a current, but I will have:
3x ryzen 5600 w/ 32gb of ECC ram, 10gb network and some enterprise disks 1x mikrotik switch 1x mikrotik router
And I will host, using Kubernetes (Talos OS):
How do you find actual? I couldn't really get to grips with it. Although it certainly seemed sleeker than Firefly III.
It's pretty good and it's the only open source solution that managed to import transactions from bank statements with few mistakes. but my problem is always to solve conflicts. And I'm always coming back to simple spreadsheets as i can plan some things, do projections with more control.
(I'll add links / descriptions later)
I host the following fediverse stuff:
And these are other things I host:
I have a 800W solar panel and some home automatization at home. Therefor, I use MQTT & NodeRED.
On my own hardware: At home I have a Raspberry Pi 4 running JellyFin as a local media server, also experimenting with PiHole. One of these days I'd like to pull my NextCloud server in-house.
VPS: Nextcloud (including calendar, notes, contacts & RSS/Atom), GoToSocial, WordPress, Gemini, and personal website with a mix of home-grown parts and sections managed through Eleventy.
I've also experimented with self-hosting Calckey , Snac2 and Mastodon, but Mastodon's too heavy for a single user and Snac2 is lighter than I want to go with for now. I may try Calckey again at some point, though.
Eventually I'd like to set up Wallabag and migrate from Pocket.
Just in case it's helpful, here's my docker-compose file for Wallabag behind traefik: https://pastebin.com/b2VEbxae
Thanks! Saving that for later...
Also have a look at omnivore as a pocket alternative!
I have a two server proxmox cluster (beelink ser5, hp prodesk micro g3) plus running and proxying some services to my daily driver desktop
Services:
Personally, I host Sandstorm, and Discord music bot, and Minecraft.
Plex and a web app I wrote for a Twitch community I moderate.
Plex is on a server in the Netherlands and the web app is just AWS. I would've hosted on some spare hardware but my internet is notoriously trash and I didn't want to risk it going down while people are playing in the app.
Plex I might move onto a NAS at some point but I'm just too lazy lol.
I only have a few services:
All of the service other than jellyfin is hosted on a vps. Jellyfin is hosted from my home and can be accessed remotely via wireguard. However because my isp doesn't provide a public ip, I need to use my vps as wireguard jump host
Client <-> vps <-> home server
Client <-> vps <-> home server
I'm looking to set up exactly this for myself with a linode vps, and wireguard containers. Any tips? Even a docker compose snippet would be helpful.
I don't use docker but this is my config https://gist.github.com/jrandiny/4abf2101e0cac724ce2469ed30c2670c
Currently self-hosting on an old HP Z600 I bought second hand with the following specs:
For services, I'm currently running the following:
Docker
For public access dockers
For ubuntu, I'm running a few services and apps like:
CF Tunnel
Cloud Flare tunnel? If so, Could you point me in the direction of some resources for cloudflare tunnels! I always feel like i'm stumbling around in the dark when i'm trying to configure a cloudflare tunnel! :P
Hey, I don't really have any resource, I also stumble and mess with it myself until I got the hang of it. I guess I can write a blogpost on how Cloudflare Tunnel actually works and how to configure it easily.
I'll update you once I do.
May I ask why you prefer Cloudflare tunnels over regular port forwarding + dynamic DNS? Except if you are behind CGNAT, in my opinion letting Cloudflare read all your data kind of breaks the whole privacy aspect of self hosting.
Cloudflare is the only service that I trust enough with my data. My domain names are also hosted there, so there's no reason not to make use of Cloudflare's CDN and security vs having to harden my own server all the time, or spinning up instances all over the world for faster access and keeping it all updated at all times. I'm also using CrowdSec as a backup behind Cloudflare.
I'm not behind a CGNAT, and I also have a static IP. However, I think Cloudflare's Zero Trust is good enough since I'm already using their Cloudflare masking. No reason not to do it considering I have access behind most of my services.
Starting to fall down the rabbit hole of self hosting,
Unraid, Plex & Pihole. Next project is Opnsense, then starting to look at Home Assistant.
All on one system, basically an old Dell Optiplex that I got for free when a company was shutting down. I5 6600 with 16 gb ram.
Docker:
These are the containers that are running 24/7 but I play around a lot, trying new things :)
Hi there. My first post in this community.
I'm currently running:
My hardware: I used to run it all on a Supermicro x9drd-7ln4f-jbod with dual Xeon E5-2670 v2 with 16x16GB ECC ram and 6x 3TB disks in raidz2 for storage and 2x 60gb Intel SSDs for OS. I started with less and upgraded towards this configuration but it was consuming 300 watt idle which was just unacceptable.
So earlier this year I upgraded to an ASRock Rack x470D4U with Ryzen 7 5700x and 4x32GB ECC (non-registered) ram and 6x 2TB SSDs in raidz2. 1 ssd is in the nvme slot on the motherboard, 4 are in a 4x4 bifurcation card in the 16x slot and 1 more in a 4x riser. All PCIe lanes of the CPU are used. This setup is not possible with an AMD CPU with integrated GPU since it will take up 4 PCIe lanes (you can guess how I know). It uses about 20 watt idle without any containers and VMs running. I initially didn't want to move away from Supermicro but the ASRock Rack motherboard has IPMI so I'm not missing out on much.
Hardware and software suggestions are welcome :D
Virtualized with libvirt:
In nomad:
Offsite rpi @ parents
Rpi doing router duties, to be replaced with rb3011 when I finalize it's config in terraform
VPS:
Old laptop: k8s playground for learning
Short-term todo:
Public dns names have A records pointing to haproxy vps, which proxies to home over tunnel, and AAAA records pointing straight to home (I have static ipv6 prefix, but no static ipv4 address)
Ceph (rbd,s3) on 4 poweredges.
Nomad, Consul servers running in a 3 node raft on some ARM SBCs.
Nomad clients on 2 poweredges and 3 arm SBCs running:
And that is just in the server room - I also have more like the 3d printer and CNC machine controllers etc.
I host:
I think that should be it. I left out some less important ones and probably forgot a few that I don't use that often. All these services are spread across 2 servers at home and a small VPS mainly used for the mailserver and Uptime Kuma.
Honeygain etc.... First time I hear about them. Do you mind sharing how much you get?
It really depends on the type of IP you have and your location, but it's really not much for me. From Honeygain I get like 20 bucks every 6 months and when paying out the money around 4$ get lost by transaction fees, but better than nothing and those services use so few resources, you don't even notice them running in the background.
All of these running on freshly built UNRAID, migrated over from Proxmox over the weekend.
Might need a RSS again seeing the state of Reddit at
So... ODroid N2+ is hosting a Home Assistant. Nothing to add.
I have an old Intel Nuc nuc5cpyh that is currently hosting my WordPress blog at https://some-techy-tinkering.com/. Made it self-hosted a month ago and can't be happier.
The last machine is Intel Nuc nuc7i7bnh with 2 TBs of internal and 4.5 TBs of external drives. This is my main server with:
Jellyfin and adguard.
Hey, thanks for the selfhost community!
Currently split between VMs and physicals. I'm refactoring these ,with plans to build out and migrate much of it to a minipc proxmox cluster.
Adding:
znc, radicale, miniflux, gotosocial, lemmy, i2pd, searx, rtorrent, webdav
I live small in the cloud for now:
Used to selfhost a gitlab instance, nextcloud and some other things, but I'm between houses so it has to wait.
Lots of good inspiration here!
Hopefully you got a good internet upgrade, also just moved and upgraded to a 5gig symmetric line!
Dayum
All the services available from internet, just goes through traefik to terminate https, I rely on the build in authentication of each service. To add another layer of security, I have fail2ban active on all those services.
I have a public IP, and I have open on my router ports 80, 443, a random port for ssh and vpn.

Since I like the ability of btrfs to do snapshots, I created all important docker volumes as btrfs subvolumes. Then I created a backup script that literally sends the subvolume (encrypted) to an external cloud. This does not allow incremental backups and most likely is not the best backup solution... but it works... the repo is: https://github.com/simone-viozzi/btrfs2cloud-backup

128TB.
My main hypervisor is proxmox which runs an unraid vm with the iGPU passed through to accelerate PLEX and disk controllers to manage the storage. I also have 2 Endeavour OS VMs, one that runs Thunderbird and Insync. Another that has a quadro p2000 passed through to tinker with. I also have a homeassistant vm and a proxmox CT running docker.
I'm working up to transitioning the dockers on unraid to a proxmox container but at the same time if it's not broke why fix it.
I also want to mess with networking by putting in OPNsense or pfsense and routing some traffic through a vps.
I did this with a VPS pfsense instance linked to my local pfsense via site to site VPN, and haproxy for email to get a static IP. Worked very well.
I have been self hosting things for over 15 years. I now host on 7 computers. I'm proud of the fact that I stay under 100W idle, including 3 Omada WLAN APs and network technology (all via PoE and all is on a UPS). For most of the services i normally used the helper scripts. i'm currently in the process of moving everything to komodo. there should be an lxc for each service or service group, komodo pulls the compose files from gitea and deploys everything.
