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.

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.

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.

  • 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.

[–] gabek@fedia.io 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] juni@skein.city 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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!

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 :')

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)
[–] JTR@lemmings.basic-domain.com 1 points 2 years ago

Lemmy (since why not), portainer, Plex & Jellyfin (I mostly use Jellyfin), vaultwarden, qbittorrent, autobrr, virtualmin, couple of ircd servers, nginx proxy manager, couple of websites and considering actually selfhosting email even with all that crap that comes with it. Probably a few I've forgotten about

I'm only self-hosting a PLEX server and an SFTP server, for now. I have many other interests but not enough time to actually set everything up and manage it

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

[–] owatnext@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Plex and an FTP/Samba server on a DS418play.

[–] Budman@fedia.io 1 points 2 years ago

I self host the work software,

Ansible host,
Kubernetes Cluster
Elasticsearch cluster
Game servers
Piholes,
AgentGPT,
Various other things when needed.

[–] dragnel@lemmy.maisputain.ovh 1 points 2 years ago

I have a dedicated server where I run multiple service with podman.

  • Funkwhale (we share musics with a friend)
  • Mobilizon
  • Lemmy
  • Pleroma

All those instance are close for inscriptions they are just for me or friends. I use posftix to relay mail. I have on postgresql instance shared across the services. I use traefik for ssl, I wanted traefik to auto discover the container but it didn't work when I tried maybe it works now.

[–] Karo@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Just a Local Language Model for tinkering with, planning to expand it with internet access and instruct modes to hopefully build a bargain bin Jarvis. Running it on a windows pc with i7 (using a ggml version so it runs on cpu, my GPU isn’t worth talking about)

[–] Q320@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Mostly stuff I made. And Home Assistant.

[–] freedomenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Pi4 with an usb->m.2 1TB drive with nextcloud. Has been working like a charm so far
