Selfhosted

59779 readers

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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Hello, how do you document your home lab? Whether it's a small server or a big one with firewall and more nodes. I have a small pc with Proxmox and there I have a VM with OpnSense. After I've entered my VPN as a interface in OpenSense, I noticed that I slowly lose the overview with the different rules that I have built in my firewall. And I know that my setup is relatively easy in comparison to others here in this community. I want to have a quick Overview at the various VMs, like the Lxc container, Docker containers that I have in this and the IP addresses that I have assigned to them. I search for a simple an intuitiv way for beginners.

Now firs of all sorry for necroposting, but i found this while searching. I use claude amd markdown/yaml and serena mcp. We use tmux and shard browser to gather facts. As a bonus i can explain my setup and choices and it will format out nicely

Jokes aside, I do keep some harder to remember stuff written down in a README.md in my repo, but mainly most things are undocumented

My wife was mentioning the other day that if something happened to me she'd have absolutely no idea how to work any of this shit and that convinced me to actually start documenting it LMAO

Good time to start doing it too. Aside from setting up a NAS this weekend and figuring out an audiobook solution (not something I've ever dabbled with but I really should start reading some communist theory), I've got this project right where I want it for a long while.

I download the YouTube tutorials I followed, upload them to my UAT Jellyfin server, and then when my server is having issues I can't get to the videos!

A flawless system really

I don't, and I know that I'm fucked one day.
