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.

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?

[–] AnagrammadiCodeina@feddit.it 2 points 2 years ago

On my little server i have:

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

[–] cichy1173@szmer.info 2 points 2 years ago

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

  • Home Assistant
  • HedgeDoc
  • Jellyfin
  • Simple webpage for hosting my about-me page
  • Trillium Notes for drawing graphs

  • 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.

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.

[–] BuffLettuce@lemmy.world 2 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

[–] ppp@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago
  • 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.

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

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.

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.

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.

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!

[–] EonNShadow@pawb.social 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I'm sitting on a hand-me-down Intel server with a 24 core CPU, 96gb of RAM, and a combined 13.5TB of storage space.

Currently hosting:

Redundant pi-holes - DNS/Adblock

Plex - Streaming service 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

Uptime Kuma - uptime tracker

Cloudflare proxy - secured external access to my environment sans VPN. It's set up with session tokens and 2fa via email. I'd like to lock this down further but I'm using the free option right now.

Ubiquiti wireless controller - I also have a hand-me-down AP, and I'm using it to improve wireless signal in my house.

I'd love some recommendations for different things to host too. I don't think a Lemmy instance is in the cards for me ATM though.

[–] pre@fedia.io 2 points 2 years ago

@proycon Mastodon, Calckey, Peertube, a few Wordpress, a bunch of static sites, my nextcloud.

I have a Proxmox server running:

  • PiHole
  • Jellyfin
  • Grocy
[–] Kurt@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.
