Selfhosted

I self-host the test servers for some projects I have been working for and an awesome private GitLab instance. Besides that I also host some minecraft servers, lemmy, a samba share, two openvpn servers and an nginx proxy. Awesome and educational so far!

Dell Optiplex SFF ex office machine..

SearxNG Passbolt Nextcloud Airsonic Wordpress PrivateBin SHLink FreshRSS Gitea Shaarli

All subdomains on apache proxies.. its a bit of a mess though. Whenever it comes to update something I can never remember how I installed it. Theres a heady mix of script installs, deb installs, source installs. I've got Gitea ready to update but I have no idea what method I used to install it :')

Manjaro Linux with ZFS on some old gaming PC.

Home Automation and IoT with HomeAssistant in a virtual box. Database for storing some IoT history (not hooked up to Home Assistant yet but recording from MQTT) with MariaDB. Media Server with Emby. Photograph Backups with Immich; just playing with this for now. Constantly have problems running it to do with not connecting to Redis or PostGres :/ MQTT Server with Mosquitto for some custom IoT devices. VPN with WireGuard. File Syncronization with Syncthing; to/from phone and other computers. Torrenting with Deluge and Deluge Web.

Right now I am just running Jellyfin. I had been running AdGuard Home, TTRSS, and WordPress on a Yunohost server (in a VM on my Ubuntu 22.10 desktop PC), but it inexplicably ran out of space in /var, so I shut it down. I intent to try again, but this time with a personal Lemmy instance.

Local server running my NAS, Technitium DNS, Jenkins + build nodes, OpenVPN, Forgejo, my Debian package mirror, the central LDAP server for auth, Lemmy, and a couple straggler services. Still working on setting up some more stuff for me and my housemates.

Running everything on an old dual Xeon box running TrueNAS, works wonders with no downtime so far!

Right now I self-host )

• Nextcloud
• Syncthing
• Freshrss
• Changedetection
• Huginn
• Archivebox
• Thelounge (IRC)

At Home :

• Unraid NAS (on an old HP proliant microserver)

Unraid (3700X, 16GB 3200 Mhz RAM, NVIDIA Quadro P2000 Graphics Card, 7x14TB Hard Drives):

• Organizer (Loads each service in a tab for easy access)
• Overseer (Allows you to add popular trending movies/tv shows to sonarr/radarr)

• Adminer (Manages the mysql databases running in the background)

Locally tailscale/home network only, intel NUC with a big honking thunderbolt drive bay:

• caddyserver
• homeassistant + z2m
• plex
• several arrs
• paperless
• photoprism (for now, will probably move to immich)
• immich (testing for now)
• miniflux (rss reader)
• navidrome
• calibre web
• radicale (ical)

Linode VPS, world accessible:

• caddyserver
• vaultwarden

Plex. Sonarr/radarrr/lidarr/nzbget, home assistant (mainly to centralize smart home apps into one), miniflux for rss, teamspeak, a couple vpns, a blog I write nonsense on. Now a lemmy instance.

Pihole Keycloak Lemmy

The "usual" Plex stack:

Plex Sonarr Radarr Readarr Calibre & Calibre-Web Sabnzbd Nzbhydra

I want to throw Nextcloud into the mix, but I haven't gotten the motivation to do that yet. I have 102TB of disk on a 4 node kubernetes cluster just for fun

Pleroma, Owncast, Nextcloud, an internet radio station, and a couple web sites.

• Home Assistant
• Pi hole
• Plex
• NAS storage
• Sonarr/Radarr/etc
• Calibre

Indigo Home automation software

HomeBridge

Time Machine

Plex Media Server

I run a Hubzilla instance on my hosting provider, but that’s probably coming down shortly. Hubzilla is weird, the community is full of grumpy old men, and engagement is low.

I want to get photoprism set up on my Pi but not got around to it yet

I'm running truenas scale as hypervisor (migrated from proxmox to try to save electricity costs)

• Opnsense as Firewall
• Ansible (debian)for Patching and infrastructure management
• zabbix (debian) for monitoring
• plex (debian) media server
• Omada controller (access points) (ubuntu)
• homeassistant (hass OVA) for home automation
• nginx (debian) as reverse proxy

• Heimdall
• Home Assistant
• Plex
• Nginx Proxy Manager - ram hog
• Adguard
• NodeRed
• ZWaveJS
• Zigbee2Mqtt
• Portainer
• qBittorent
• Ring-MQTT

Running on a minisofurm mini pc with 5600h, paid $219 and used spare drives and ram lying around. Used to run 2 raspberry pi 4s but retired those due to updating home assistant via docker getting really old. Proxmox handles things great, like the flexibility and performance boost too, especially just pulling docker images lol, unarchiving was so painful on pi 4.

I don't have anything crazy setup. I'm always trying to think of some additional stuff I can setup, but only if it's really going to be useful to me.

I have an Unraid box with some containers and a few VMs

• Home Assistant OS (VM)
• small linux vm for hosting a personally built discord bot and twitter bot
• Plex
• *arr stack
• Jellyfin
• qbitorrent
• Plex Meta Manager
• tautulli

The thing I use most that I self host is Home Assistant

• Red Discord bot
• Synapse (Matrix)
• Syncthing
• Private git repo
• My website (static files + nginx)

I used to self-host Jellyfin but gave up because most of my files are H265 so other devices (like smartphones and televisions) struggle without transcoding.

I also host game servers for my friends when we're in the mood to play games like ARK, Valheim, or Minecraft.

Almost everything has been mentioned already so I just stick with the unusual: I host a private MediaWiki instance for note taking in my pen and paper rounds. It's amazing once the other players got a bit more comfortable how to use it well regarding templates, categories and articles. My only regret is that I didn't set up new instances per gaming group.

• Proxmox (VM host)
• Minecraft server
• Jellyfin
• ZeroTier network controller
• Homeassistant
• Blue Iris (commercial self-hosted home security, unfortunately Windows VM only)
• Ghost blog (hosted directly from home)

OS and hardware:

• Main homelab machine:
  • Debian 11
  • Asrock X300 Mini (I love small form-factor, it is like Mini PC)
  • Ryzen 7 5700G
  • 32 GB RAM
  • NVMe storage for OS and small apps
  • Raid1 (2x 2 TB HDD drives) for data used (especially with Nextcloud)
• Additional hardware (with software):
  • ASUS RT-53U running OpenWrt (with adblocking)
  • Orange Pi running Ghostscript Printing Server and mongodb (both installed via Snap) and VPN
  • Raspberry Pi 3B+ (finding new place for it after switching to OpenWrt)

Software:

• YunoHost
• NextCloud (especially for RSS, Deck, Photos, Tasks, calendars, contacts)
• Home Assistant
• HedgeDoc
• Jellyfin
• Simple webpage for hosting my about-me page
• Trillium Notes for drawing graphs
• Wallabag
• Uptime Kuma

I also host second Uptime Kuma on DigitalOcean for checking my home server. I also backup my server on S3 storage with Rclone and my custom bash script.
