Presently I'm self hosting:

  • NextCloud
  • ArchiveBox
  • Lemmy
  • Ntfy
  • Calibre Web
  • ByteStash
  • Etherpad
  • RustDesk
  • GitLab Community
  • Peertube
  • Matrix
  • Minecraft Java Server (I mean, it is self hosted)

I think sometimes my servers complain about what I'm hosting. lol

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

  • Proxmox to manage several containers/VMs:
    • OPNsense Firewall
    • HomeAssistant
    • Pihole
    • Gitlab
    • Jellyfin

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.

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!

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

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.

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!

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