Selfhosted

a wiki for a fraternal organization...

MeshCentral for providing remote IT support. I run it in a lightweight VM on very modest hardware (ancient Core 2 system I had kicking around) and it works great. The sheer breadth of features is damn impressive and I'd consider it among some of the best open source projects in terms of UI. No middleman like TeamViewer or Splashtop, and it only costs me a bit of time and hardware.

Currently running OPNsense on my primary router/firewall appliance, with a WireGuard VPN so I can access my self-hosted stuff remotely without exposing more of an attack surface.

Actual things I’m hosting:

• Vaultwarden
• Nginx Proxy Manager
• Pi-hole

Those are all running on a Libre LePotato.

Currently that’s all the hardware I have, but I’m hoping to expand as time goes on. Next step is setting up a proxmox machine (I have an old desktop but it generates too much heat for where I want to store it)

My general rule is to not self host things that are good enough / free (as in $$ not FOSS). So I don't host email or music. I'm not a huge music person so spotify does the job, and gmail's been great since it started.

Things I do host

• media server (jellyfin + sonarr/radarr etc)
• stable diffusion image generation server
• games (starbound mostly, killed minecraft after microsoft takeover)
• lemmy
• comics/manga server (komga)
• yt-dl web interface

Nextcloud, Calckey, HomeAssistant, AdGuard Home, Serge, Octoprint (probably forgot something)

Some of it running in a data center. Some of it running local either on dedicated hardware or on Proxmox.

I don’t host anything public, but I’ve got two Proxmox nodes hosting various local services in virtual machines . Currently I have

• My gaming rig, running windows with a GPU passed through. With this I stream games to my laptop, steam deck, tv, etc
• My router, running Vyos with a dual port nic passed through. The configuration is all done through ansible
• TrueNAS for general network storage
• a handful of vms created on the fly for specific projects

Couple of Dell and Lenovo mini PCs

• Custom browser start page
• File server
• Media server with Tonido
• Jellyfin
• Vectorpod

The other machine just has random VMs for testing things like:

• Owncloud
• LAMP
• Whatever else I run into

Raspberry Pi 3

• Home assistant
• syncthing

I plan on getting a server this summer (building it myself), and the things I have planned this far:

• bitwarden
• monica
• minecraft
• factorio
• email server
• maybe pihole
• maybe lemmy
• jellyfin

Edit: forgot jellyfin

I have a dietPi on a RapsberryPi2 where I run a vaultwarden instance and pi-hole

i7 12700, 64GB RAM, 1TB NVME x2 mirrored for OS, 10TBx8 z1

Proxmox VMs:

TrueNAS running storage array

Home Assistant

Ubuntu VM where everything else runs in Docker:

*pfSense

*Unifi controller

*Jellyfin

*Radarr

*Sonarr

*NZBGet

*Airsonic

*Ombi

*Transmission

*Calibre

*Soulseek

*BitWarden

*Traefik

Last year I downsized from an old HP tower server with a xeon, and 8x 1tb SAS HDDs, to a single Intel NUC with i5 and 4x 4TB SATA HDDs.

I run Proxmox on it, with several VMs.

• Gerbera - DLNA/Upnp server for streaming my media
• Shinobi - monitors and records my security cameras
• Syncthing - for keeping backups of important things from my laptop and my phone and my wife's phone.
• A container with a Python script that is constantly monitoring my solar panel energy production and sends it to pvoutput.org
• Some VMs with different versions of Centos and PHP for developing and testing webapps on.

I also have a raspberry pi with home assistant and a ZigBee USB adapter, for controlling the lighting in my house.

I've been trying to get docker swarm running across my 4 rpi's, but traefik hasn't been able to discover services (can find them on the same node if the network is a bridge, can't find anything with overlay network) which has been frustrating to try to figure out the problem. That said, here is what I plan to host on the swarm:

• traefik
• grocy
• nextcloud
• vaultwarden
• plex
• nginx (portfolio website that I currently just have on GitHub pages)
• lemmy instance (for some of you beautiful bastards)
• readarr, sonarr, readarr, lidarr, prowlarr, sabnzb, and qbittorrent

Mostly WordPress sites. But do have experience with Mastodon self hosting

Plex and an FTP/Samba server on a DS418play.

Currently one server as VM host for: -Nextcloud -Mailcow -Apache/PHP/mariadb as both reverse proxy for Nextcloud and the mailcow web interface and webserver for personal and company websites -Custom backup server (wireguard connections to different sites and incremental backup routines with bash/rsync)
