Selfhosted

I'm loking more than anything, I have a legacy ( 50 or 100 user free) google workspaces account for my families email. I'd like to move some stuff off, unfortunately it's also used for android and chromebook stuff so no way to completely withdraw, but moving as much as possible out of googles grasp off would make me happy.

I have a single Dell R210ii running proxmox and a bunch of VM's and containers.

Opnsense (VM) Home assistant (VM) Technitium DNS (LXC) Ubuntu/OpenVPN (VM) Ubuntu/docker (VM)

Then a splattering of containers in docker. Using portioner as a UI and Authentik for Single sign on.

Plenty of docker containers but these change over time as I try things out. General setup of firewall/DNS/vpn/home assistant & docker host is how it's been for ~2 years now and its done me well.

currently using a old Dell PowerEdge r610 as my homelab.

• 2x Xeon X5680 CPUS
• 192GB DDR3 ECC ram
• 5x 1.2TB 10k rpm drives in RAID 5 / boot SSD 220GB
• Quadro P2000 for Jellyfin Transcoding

now for the things i host!

• Jellyfin
• HomeBridge
• PiHole
• 2x WireGuard VPN instances (one for each VLAN)
• Unifi Controller
• VaultWarden
• 5x other VMs for game servers that i host for friends

i would move my lemmy instance to my own selfhosted setup, however i just don't want to go through with setting up NGINX proxy manager. also, my internet is a bit slower at home than what i'm getting with this hetzner VPS.

I’m a simple man. All I’m running is Gitlab, Plex, and Artifactory CE. I used to have Libreddit and Invidious, but those died during a server migration and was too lazy to bring them back. I guess libreddit wouldn’t work anymore?

i USED to host a mc server, now i dont host anything as i cant get jellyfish automatic pirating to work...

• E-Mail (postfix + dovecot)
• Nextcloud
• Mastodon
• Gitea
• Jellyfin
• Paperless-NGX
• Homeassistant
• Octoprint
• rmfakecloud

Syncthing, Plex, and DokuWiki.

My needs are small but Syncthing is for standard file sync and DokuWiki is for a repository for my family. It's been surprisingly useful to be able to spin and delete up a syncthing folder for some specific thing.

Plex is for my ripped DVDs and also a great way to consume my photos archive without keeping a copy locally on my phone.

Stable Diffusion (Stability AI version), text-generation-webui (WizardLM), a text embedder service with Spacy, Bert and a bunch of sentence-transformer models, PiHole, Octoprint, Elasticsearch/Kibana for my IoT stuff, Jellyfin, Sonarr, FTB Minecraft (customized pack), a few personal apps I wrote myself (todo lists), SMB file shares, qBittorrent and Transmission (one dedicated to Sonarr)... Probably a ton of other stuff I'm forgetting.

I have an Intel NUC running debian stable (well, old stable now I guess). I store some files via sshfs and run some containers like plex, qbvpn, and Heimdall.

Jellyfin on a RPi3, PiHole on a PiZero, and more in the near future after getting some great ideas from you all!

My current homelab build is a 5950X w/128GB and... well it's more complicated than that.

Currently running in Proxmox (in no particular order!):

• LinuxGSM - game servers
• Multicraft - Minecraft servers
• Zammad helpdesk (for a non-critical service, hosting at home as failover)
• Plex - using Nvidia T600 for transcoding
• PopOS compute VMs x2 - one of which currently running InvokeAI with 2xGPU, 40GB VRAM total
• Windows 10 gaming VM (was for passthrough, hardly used now!)
• Docker, including:

1. Channels DVR - live TV streaming/recording
2. Deemix - music downloader
3. Flame - homepage
4. Gogs x2 - Git repositories
5. Nginx Proxy Manager
6. Nzbget - Usenet downloader
7. Prowlarr - indexer
8. Qbittorrentvpn - VPN and torrent downloader
9. Radarr - movies
10. Requestrr - Discord -arr request bot
11. Sonarr - TV
12. Uptime-Kuma x2 - uptime bots
13. Wallabag - bookmarks

I've been running the following in docker on a thinkpad t510 running ubuntu server, performance isn't bad for a 10+ year old laptop.

• radarr/sonarr/jackett for finding movies and shows.

• Jellyfin for local streaming.

• transmission-openvpn for torrents over a VPN without routing other apps traffic.

• syncthing, for file sync between my desktop, laptop and phone (means one node is always on to get latest changes).

• wireguard VPN server to connect from outside home.

• nginx as a reverse proxy for all applications. Currently configured by hand, plan to find a way to automate at some point.

First, how do I self host:

• Proxmox on custom PC hardware
• Kubernetes for containerization (via Microk8s, but I really hate it, will move to k3s at some point)
  • Just about everything I can runs as a K8s deployment

What I self-host:

• Seafile: Does all my file storage, NAS, and sync duties. No, I haven't found a better alternative yet.
• PiHole
• Home Assistant
• Subspace wireguard
• VictoriaMetrics
• Grafana
• Also a TP-Link Omada controller on a Rock64 lying around

That's actually about it at the moment.

Unfortunately much less and much less efficiently than I'd like; atm it's Plex on an old Windows 7 laptop, and an SMB/NFS server on a Rock64 with an 8TB external hard drive.

Quassal Core on a linode, but that's cloud VPS, not my hardware, so not really self-hosting, even if I'm directly handling the OS and configuration.

I'd like to set up more. Ideally I'd like to set up two RAID backup servers, at seperate buildings, and have everything within the building back up to the local server multiple times per day, then have the servers perform incremental backups to each other once a day. ideally running on something small and cheap that I can leave in my dad's basment next to his router; "I got backups set up dad, it's this machine, you can pretty much ignore it, but let me know if you happen to notice it not running."

Figuring out Borg would be nice; dad's laptop is of course Windows, which Borg doesn't play nice with, but from the server on his end on, it'd all be linux. I just need to get a couple low-power high-storage boxen built.

On my little server i have:

2 pihole VM for DNS and redundancy 1 opnsense router VM 1 owncloud VM

duplicate post removed

Have a rather underpowered mini PC (Gigabyte BRIX BACE-3000 with 8GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD) running Nextcloud, Photoprism, Home Assistant, Zigbee2MQTT and CouchDB for a small task tracking app I built. All of this is running on Docker with Portainer on Debian.

I also run Kodi on it a couple of times a day - it doesn't have hardware acceleration for HEVC due to its age but it does have hardware acceleration for 1080p H264 which is sufficient for me.

Kinda surprised that all of this runs sort of decently. CPU hits 100% whenever a single application is actively being used but since I am the only user using a single application at a time, it is kinda alright.

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.

Mail server, pi-hole, mediawiki, kanboard, Tiny Tiny RSS, Baïkal, Minetest, Transmission, Jellyfin, Filestash and some homebrew.

I use Wireguard to access all that from outside my network. This way, my mail server only exposes smtp.

Unraid

• Plex
• Radarr
• Sonarr
• Modded Minecraft Server
• Modded WoW private server
• Work only Windows VM

Hoping to host more eventually, just need more ideas.

Currently: RPi4 with CasaOS, running Pihole and Home Assistant, which I honestly rarely use, unfortunately.

Potentially planned: -Jellyfin -Rustdesk server -Some samba solution on RPi4 for my hdd I currently have hooked to my router, any advice on what I should look into for that would be appreciated.
