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:
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
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.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

I have a few Raspberry Pis hosting
Server 1 OS: Debian Nextcloud Plex
Server 2 (raspberry pi) OS: Raspbian Lite PiHole PiVPN
Unifi controller is the only 'real' service I actually keep running. I have various VMs running on Proxmox that I mostly use for testing. Even though I have two physical servers with plenty of compute and memory available, backed by a large NAS and all of hanging off a UPS, I just don't feel comfortable in self-hosting things I deem critical.
I don't self-host much at the moment
Pi4 with an usb->m.2 1TB drive with nextcloud. Has been working like a charm so far
Running Unraid. Adding more slowly. Moved over from an old windows PC hosting a bunch to Unraid last year. Keep adding more Dockers.
Planning on doing Nextcloud for a NAS feel for non media sharing with Friends
And probably a Calibre or something for eBooks and something for Audiobooks eventually
I use the following a lot:
Tandoor is imho somewhat overlooked and really nice.
Tell me more about this tandoor please
First here is the official website https://docs.tandoor.dev/ . Basically it is a cookbook combined with a grocery list, and a meal manager. I personally only use the cookbook and grocery list. A very nice feature is that i can add all the ingredients of a recipe to the shopping list instead of having to do it manually.
Intel nuc10i7FNH on Ubuntu Pro running Plex, Tautulli, and a Fabric Minecraft server.
RPi3b+ running pihole/unbound and PiVPN
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... )
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.
I've got 3 "servers" at the moment running lots of fun services.
Dell Optiplex Tower
Old Laptop
Raspi4
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.
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.
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:
dumped docker ps and cleaned it up a bit

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.
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
are used daily, also lots of other services.
Did Immich work out-of-the-box for you? I had it working a few months ago but when I tried more recently I was greeted with errors about connecting to the database. The docker-compose setup is what I'm looking for.
I self host the work software,
Ansible host,
Kubernetes Cluster
Elasticsearch cluster
Game servers
Piholes,
AgentGPT,
Various other things when needed.
OpenWRT on Netgear for DNS and DHCP
pfSense on CP2200 for VPN, packet filtering, SSL inspection, and unbound
TrueNAS on TerraMaster for NFS and iocage running Jellyfin
Raspbian on RasPi4 for ICA, LDAP, SNMP, Syslogs, etc
Im currently new to self hosting, however I've started running my own website using NGINX (pronounced en-ginks of course) on a raspberry pi. It's handling quite well, the most activity I've known of is my friend trying to DoS it by opening a bunch of tabs on it. Next steps: Keeping track of connections and DDoS protection (w/o cloudfare. Any suggestions?)
