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.

To answer my own question:

  • E-mail (postfix, dovecot, rspamd, clamav)
  • Web (nginx), various small websites including my homepage
  • Fediverse Microblogging (Mastodon)
  • Matrix Chat (synapse)
  • XMPP Chat (prosody)
  • Music streaming (mpd, snapcast)
  • Home automation (home assistant and my own lighthome stuff, mqtt)
  • IRC bouncer (znc)

And the basics of course:

  • SSH (openssh)
  • NFS

All running on an Ubuntu Linux server, but everything is containerised into mostly Alpine Linux podman (rootless) containers (and a few lxc containers which I'm phasing out).

I'm self-hosting a bunch of stuff all over the place. I've a pi-hole, NAS and a bunch of Discord bots on an e-waste rescue nettop. Then I have a linux server running Ubuntu Server with more Discord bots, Nextcloud, syncplay, some basic websites, including an Element-im stickerpicker. I used to run a Matrix homeserver too, but I got fed up with maintaining that. It has been quite the learning experience and it has been absolutely worth it.

I've been having a fuck of a time getting IIS to work properly as a Reverse Proxy but I'm hosting an Emby Media Server on a Windows 10 desktop and a Foundry VTT Server on a Windows 10 laptop

[–] mondoman712@iusearchlinux.fyi 3 points 2 years ago

Currently just running an SMB share and paperless on my Turing Pi v2, which only has one 8gb Pi at the moment. Hoping to get more Pis and run more things soon.

[–] Nikokin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Mostly matrix client/server + bots, etherpad & mumble (until matrix can replace it on desktop, PTT-wise)

Wayyy too much for my lil old PC server. Its pegged at 40% swap usage, that's after a RAM upgrade.

Alpine Linux running services in podman. Deployments use ansible.

Got a few disks fused together + snapraid redundancy.

All services go through Nginx, plus a couple static sites generated with hugo.

Authentik for single sign on everywhere I can.

Matrix: Synapse + mautrix WhatsApp, Signal bridges for private chats. A public Conduit server for big online chats. Element and Cinny clients, I can't pick a fave.

Nextcloud because I have to.

Jellyfin for movies, shows and music. The Arr suite for managing my media. Transmission openvpn container for getting Linux ISOs and other legal media.

Vaultwarden super light betwarden server - I love this.

Forgejo git server is fantastic.

Monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana.

Umami for web stats.

Pihole for filtered DNS.

A tiny minetest server for the LAN.

That's pretty much it. I love this thing.

[–] kresten@feddit.dk 3 points 2 years ago

...and other legal media...

Lol

[–] Bright5park@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

On my "home server" (an old office PC we were about to throw into the junk at work that I installed OpenMediaVault on):

  • Portainer (Docker container manager)
  • AdGuard Home (DNS-based ad blocker)
  • Audiobookshelf (Audiobook library)
  • Bitwarden (Password manager)
  • Jellyfin (Media server)
  • Kavita (eBook library)
  • LetsEncrypt + NGINX (SSL cert + reverse proxy)
  • Nextcloud (cloud storage, notes, calendar, contact and browser bookmark sync)

And on my Pi 4:

  • Home Assistant (smart home management and orchestration)

(EDIT: Apologies for the double post, the post button kept showing the loading throbber, so I thought I may have had connection issues and submitted it again after refreshing the page)

[–] knova@links.dartboard.social 3 points 2 years ago

So much stuff.

  • Unraid for NAS
  • next cloud to connect to the NAS and as a personal drop box
  • all of the *arr services (sonarr, radarr etc)
  • Plex
  • I was doing dizqueTV for a personal “tv station” on my Plex server but I disabled it for now due to low use
  • a bunch of VMs for infosec related tinkering (couple of Win 10, Ubuntu server, and one ParrotOS install)

On the cloud side, I host two things in production:

[–] giddy@lemmy.perthchat.org 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I run Nextcloud for myself and extended family plus a wireguard vpn, airsonic music streaming, calibre web for books and pi-hole for killing ads.

EDIT - pi-hole and wireguard are running on a raspberry pi and the rest on an Ubuntu NUC.

[–] ziriuz84@feddit.it 3 points 2 years ago

I have a Proxmox on and old laptop with Nextcloud, Etherpad, OpenmediaVault and some random test. I have also a Raspberry Pi2 with Dashy and HomeAssistant

[–] Distributed@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago
[–] blayde@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago

I only host one service for myself: Navidrome on a raspberry pi zero. Lets me stream my full music library from anywhere. Been using it ever since GPM shut down

As of right now

  • Vikunja (nice todo app w/ kanban board)
  • Kestra (data orchestration tool/alternative to n8n, huginn, node-red)
  • Bookstack (note taking app)
  • Memos (simpler notes)
  • Home Assistant (for simple home automation)

It is all running via NixOS on an old Chromebook Acer CB3-431.

Works like charm though!

We self-host a Jellyfin instance in our local network for our household.

Our server box is an old workstation machine with 4 TiB of storage and runs Debian.

[–] slothbear@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I am running a Ryzen 5700x with 48GB of RAM. I use it as my always on desktop/gaming computer/server running Gentoo Linux. The few services I use are:

Pihole NFS (File sharing between my *nix computers) Netatalk (AFP File sharing between my PowerPC macs) Samba (Media sharing to an old laptop running LibreElec)

It's not a lot but it makes everything so much easier.

[–] Scrappy@feddit.nl 3 points 2 years ago
  • Home Assistant (running on RPi, proxied to VPS)
  • Zigbee2MQTT (running on RPi)
  • NodeRed (running on RPi)
  • Joplin (VPS, opensource note taking app)
  • Minecraft modded modpack (VPS, statech 1.0.3) Probably a couple more I'm forgetting.

This is all in docker containers behind a reverse proxy using Traefik. Im happy with the setup as it's really versatile and so far hasn't failed me. Biggest upgrade I've done is replacing the SD card of the RPi with an SSD

[–] WithaC@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Across four Raspberry Pi 4's, a Synolgoy DS918+, and a Protecli Vault 4 (formerly my pfSense firewall) I currently have the following running:

  • Pi-hole - Two instances providing DNS for the household
  • PiVPN - Primary way I VPN into the house when I'm out
  • Portainer - Quick way to check on the status of my Docker containers
  • Homebridge - Bring the various IoT's into the Appleverse
  • PiAware - I'm a plane geek
  • Minecraft - Game server for the kids
  • Veloren - Game server for me
  • Plex - Movies!
  • Pi-Star - I'm also a amateur radio geek
  • And a test Lemmy instance to play around with - why not
[–] jkjustjoshing@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi

I really want to get something like a Synology NAS to run a media server / VPN server / PiHole / NAS server on, but I don't have $500-$1000 to drop on new hardware right now.

[–] Inamin@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (6 children)
  • plex (on its way out) (media)

  • jellyfin (not yet migrated across) (media)

  • vault warden (password manager)

  • nextcloud (photo storage, secondary to one drive)

  • home assistant (smart home hub controller thing) vault warden is actually hosted in a container in home assistant.

  • nginx pm (proxy manager)

  • octoprint also sits on the server (3d print server)

all run under proxmox in a variety of containers and vms. hardware is a ryzen 5 something mini PC from aliexpress with 32gb ram, 2 * 1tb nvme hdd in zfs raid for vms. It's fast, and silent, and cheap to run.

on an old hp n40l microserver I run unraid with a deluge container for torrents. the unraid hosts the storage for plex/jellyfin/nextcloud.

am amazed at the stability of it all. it just works!

Classic useless answer but nothing ATM 🙃. I've been travelling for a few months and won't be able to host anything til I get home mid July. However, I do have plans to host a website or two, maybe even a Bookwyrm, Lemmy or Mastodon instance.
