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:
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
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.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.

Currently one server as VM host for:
I have a few Raspberry Pis hosting
Server 1 OS: Debian Nextcloud Plex
Server 2 (raspberry pi) OS: Raspbian Lite PiHole PiVPN
Unifi controller is the only 'real' service I actually keep running. I have various VMs running on Proxmox that I mostly use for testing. Even though I have two physical servers with plenty of compute and memory available, backed by a large NAS and all of hanging off a UPS, I just don't feel comfortable in self-hosting things I deem critical.
On my Debian server I'm hosting Nextcloud, Miniflux and Pihole.
Backup via Borgmatic.
As of right now
It is all running via NixOS on an old Chromebook Acer CB3-431.
Works like charm though!
I use the following a lot:
Tandoor is imho somewhat overlooked and really nice.
PiHole, Owncast, weechat, Bookwyrm
Maybe I should set up my own matrix instance 🤔
Right now only Syncthing on a Raspi. I'm lazy 😆
All services are configured and deployed using saltstack and monitored with sensu. I do not use containers but I have all services hardened by hardening the systemd service and/or apparmor profiles.
Backups are done using btrbk.
I don't self-host much at the moment
Couple of Dell and Lenovo mini PCs
The other machine just has random VMs for testing things like:
dumped docker ps and cleaned it up a bit
authelia/authelia:latest
containrrr/watchtower:latest
directus/directus:v9.0.0-rc.75
drone
ghcr.io/muchobien/pocketbase:latest
linuxserver/jackett:latest
linuxserver/radarr:latest
linuxserver/sonarr:latest
minio/minio:latest
nextcloud:latest
photoprism/photoprism:latest
pihole/pihole:latest
plexinc/pms-docker:latest
portainer/agent:latest
rclone/rclone:latest
custom projects
portfolio
staticdeploy/staticdeploy:latest
traefik:v2.5
This is my little setup at work
Kubernetes cluster (created by kubespray)
I host a minecraft server for my family
Intel nuc (dont know which one exactly) running MineOS.
How about what I'm not self-hosting? Lemmy. If anyone has an up to date guide on self-hosting a single user instance of lemmy that is actually easy to follow, that would be great. I just want to control my user account.
I have a slightly different setup personally! I am actually happily running a Windows Pro server.
For my Drivepool redundant storage, I am utilizing a cool tool I came across years ago called https://stablebit.com/DrivePool and I've been really happy with it!
I RDP into my server a lot for coding projects, and misc things, almost like a secondary computer. Additionally, I enjoy being able to Steam stream several games from it to my phone or laptop on the go. A surprising number of games are playable in this fashion.
Outside of that, I do selfhost multiple serices:
Oracle Database and Apex for a shopping list application for my family.
