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.

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.

[–] savoy@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 years ago
  • Nextcloud
  • Jitsi
  • Matrix
  • NAS file server
  • Media center (NAS + OSMC)
  • Seedbox
  • A couple of random sites

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

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

Running Unraid. Adding more slowly. Moved over from an old windows PC hosting a bunch to Unraid last year. Keep adding more Dockers.

  • Plex - Media
  • *Arrs, Sabnzb and QBitorrent for... Linux ISO downloading
  • Minecraft (Vanilla)
  • Minecraft Modded (AllTheMods8)
  • Foundry VTT - For my D&D game

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:

  • Nextcloud for files, calendar and contacts
  • synapse + a few brudges for IM
  • mail server
  • tandoor for recipes and grocery shopping lists
  • gitea
  • wireguard
  • miniflux
  • rmfakecloud And from time to time:
  • jellyfin
  • wallabag

Tandoor is imho somewhat overlooked and really nice.

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

Tell me more about this tandoor please

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

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

  • 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... )

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.

[–] mugmoor@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

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.

  • 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.

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.

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

[–] resurrect@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)
  • immich
  • homeassistant
  • jellyfin

are used daily, also lots of other services.

[–] eightys3v3n@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

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

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?)
