Main Server - 37 Containers, 4 VMs

  • Media: Plex, Audiobookshelf, along with everything for a complete *arr stack
  • Network: Cloudflared, NginxProxyManager, Tailscale, Gluetun (for *arrs)
  • Other: Authelia, OpenVSCode, Filebrowser, SFTPGo, Bitcoin Node to support the network
  • VMs: Parrot, Windows 11 for local and remote gaming, Windows 3.11 (because why not), currently spun up myNode to see if I want to explore hosting a Bitcoin Ligtning Node

Smarthome Server - OptiPlex 3050

  • Containers: mqtt, NodeRed, zigbee2mqtt, homebridge, tailscale, pihole (paired with my phone usually)
  • VM: HomeAssistant

Testing Server - OptiPlex 7060
Lately been testing and making stuff using linuxserver/docker-baseimage-kasmvnc.

  • Arduino-IDE running in a container - with USB hotswap.
  • Featherwallet and Electrumwallet (I use a HW-Wallet for HODL).
  • Lutris, got it working with Hearthstone, but didn't really have a use for it.
  • Nomachine in kasmvnc, to (somewhat) smoothly access my VMs through the webbrowser when I just need something fast.
    Linuxserver Firefox.

XMR Mining Server - Old tired HP SFF
Basicly everything from this guide by seth for privacy; monerod, p2pool, tor, watchtower, and a python-webserver to expose metrics/api.

One of my favourite is Immich, to replace Google Photos: https://immich.app/

[–] Omega_Jimes@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 years ago

A cobbled together Ryzen 2400g with 16GB of ram. Open Media Vault/Docker: Plex Nextcloud stack with dns refresh/ssl/nginx Sonarr/transmission stack with VPN PiHole Octoprint

Occasionally I run a game server or two when the need comes up, mostly Valheim lately.

Hello, my name is Zingo and I have a selfhosting addition going back to 2016 when I bought my first NAS with docker capabilities.

Community: Hi Zingo! Welcome!

Thank you.

Currently struggling more than even as it starts to take over my life. I have tried over hundreds of services.

I'll try to find strength to list some at a later stage in this healing process. Sorry no bonus points. Maybe in the next session.

Thank you all for this awesome support. I would be lost without you. πŸ’“

Wait why is r self hosted soon to be dead?

[–] bahayo@ani.social 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I want to setup opencloud. . .nextcloud are getting too bloated

[–] glitchcake@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago

Main one I use right now is a media center running FreeBSD and XFCE, and KDE Connect for remote-like functionality.

I just play files with mpv manually, but might write a front-end for it one day.

[–] Nilz@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 3 years ago

Hi there. My first post in this community.

I'm currently running:

  • Pi-hole
  • Plex Media Server
  • Grafana
  • Torrent server
  • Monica
  • Shaarli
  • Matrix instance
  • Arch package cache
  • Several game servers such as Minecraft and Terraria
  • VM running Volvo software to troubleshoot my cars.

My hardware: I used to run it all on a Supermicro x9drd-7ln4f-jbod with dual Xeon E5-2670 v2 with 16x16GB ECC ram and 6x 3TB disks in raidz2 for storage and 2x 60gb Intel SSDs for OS. I started with less and upgraded towards this configuration but it was consuming 300 watt idle which was just unacceptable.

So earlier this year I upgraded to an ASRock Rack x470D4U with Ryzen 7 5700x and 4x32GB ECC (non-registered) ram and 6x 2TB SSDs in raidz2. 1 ssd is in the nvme slot on the motherboard, 4 are in a 4x4 bifurcation card in the 16x slot and 1 more in a 4x riser. All PCIe lanes of the CPU are used. This setup is not possible with an AMD CPU with integrated GPU since it will take up 4 PCIe lanes (you can guess how I know). It uses about 20 watt idle without any containers and VMs running. I initially didn't want to move away from Supermicro but the ASRock Rack motherboard has IPMI so I'm not missing out on much.

Hardware and software suggestions are welcome :D

[–] Bharatkalluri@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

Running Tipi on a five year old chrome box with tailscale as the VPN. Has been running great! Now I'm self hosting

  1. Adguard: adblocking inside tailnet & for DNS rewrites
  2. Barrage: Nice deluge UI
  3. Beszel: Clean & simple server monitoring. I monitor two of my instances & the self hosted setup on this.
  4. Beszel Agent: Agent for collecting data for Baszel
  5. Deluge: Torrenting
  6. Duplicati: Backups with a great UI
  7. File Browser: for quick ops
  8. Flowise AI: Great drag and drop LLM chat apps builder
  9. Immich: The absolute best way to manage pictures
  10. Jackett: For the arr stack
  11. Jellyfin: Media streaming solution with apps on my phone, TV & laptops
  12. Open WebUI: My default LLM chat client now, I no longer pay 20$ for chatGPT but just pay as I go with open webui and chatgpt api key
  13. Radarr
  14. Sonarr
  15. Uptime Kuma: Uptime monitoring for everything
  16. Wallos: Subscription management

Tipi is pretty awesome. If you haven't already, check it out!

Hello selfhosters.

Here's my list of stuff:

On a VPS hosted in Germany:

On my home server (my old gaming PC, repurposed)

  • Proxmox to manage several containers/VMs:
    • OPNsense Firewall
    • HomeAssistant
    • Pihole
    • Gitlab
    • Jellyfin
[–] MigratingtoLemmy@lemmy.world 0 points 3 years ago (1 children)

Hi, thanks for your comment! I just visited your blog and noticed that it loads fairly quickly: I assume you must have some sort of CDN set up. Could you point me to how you went about setting up the CDN for your domain/website? Thanks!

[–] Anarch157a@lemmy.world 0 points 3 years ago (1 children)

No CDN. The secret is way simpler: It's a static site. Just a bunch of files served directly by Nginx. I use Pelican to generate the site from Markdown files.

What was super fast indeed!

[–] Mchl@lemmy.world 0 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) (1 children)

Hello

Let's have a look at the inventory

  • RPI 4B

    • OpenHab (Openhabian actually, so some additional services like Zigbee2MQTT or Grafana)

  • HP EliteDesk 800 G2 i5-6500T, 8GiB RAM - this one is currently the mainstay of my lab, running containers with docker-compose

    • Nginx as reverse proxy (+ fail2ban, letsencrypt)
    • Paperless-ngx (+ Redis, Tika, Gotenberg)
    • Jellyfin
    • Minecraft server (+ Mapcrafter)
    • ddclient
    • Heimdall

  • Dell OptiPlex 7060 Micro i7-8700T 32GiB RAM

    • I've gotten this one fairly recently. A real bargain - costed as much as the CPU alone and was in pristine condition. I will be migrating the workload from EliteDesk to this one. I decided to try ProxMox this time though, so I need to learn a bit first. Also perhaps add a second SSD
[–] 7u5k3n@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago

How does mapcrafter run for you now? I'm hosting a vanilla server and that's exactly what I need to see our map. I'm just concerned that it doesn't function properly now due to recent updates.

Thanks!

[–] Vilian@lemmy.ca 0 points 3 years ago (1 children)

i don't self-host yet, but i have an old pc in my house, i just need to bring it with me to colege, so i can learn and start self-hosting

[–] captcha_incorrect@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Set it up at home, open port 22 for SSH and configure some dynamic DNS service to auto update your IP to point at the IP of your home. No need to bring it with you!

[–] beigegull@lemmy.world 0 points 3 years ago (1 children)

I've got a couple VPSes, hosting

  • Mailcow, because email is identity.
  • Asterisk, because phone #s are also identity.
  • Matrix-Synapse, for personal messaging even though XMPP is probably better.
  • ttrss, even though it's junk software with a jerk developer.
  • A bunch of self-developed web apps

Self hosting email is obnoxious, but it's also one of the only remnants of the traditional distributed internet that's still broadly accepted.

I cover most of what services I’m running in my own post looking for assistance recently.
