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.

        It’s an older Panasonic ToughBook CF-C2 with an ExpressCard34 slot I’d say circa 2013. I have a gigabit Ethernet adapter jammed in there for WAN. I’ve been using the setup for maybe 8 years and it’s been ultra reliable for me.

        I’m not sure what kind of link would be best, but sure. It’s a Dell PowerConnect-5524. Picked it up from eBay I believe maybe 6 or 7 years ago. Not a particularly great switch, but it was cheap, had plenty of expansion, and some management capabilities. Consumes more power than I’d like though (~20-25w), and doesn’t have some of the advanced capabilities of some newer switches.

        For power consumption, yes. I prefer to use power efficient devices. The big standout in my lab is the NAS and Dell switch. The NAS is running very little, but still idles at ~100-110w so I’m looking at lowering that usage with a motherboard / processor swap in the future. It’s using a server board and xenon processor which aren’t really built for power efficiency. Swapping this to a recent consumer-grade board with an i3 would likely address this, but depending on chipset I’ll probably loose ECC ram compatibility. I’d like to swap the switch to a more modern microtik 10g unit I think, with a large dumb swich; but I haven’t settled on the idea for sure.

      I’m not sure the list is really that big of a deal for a home gamer. They’re probably more in danger from their choice of home audio appliances and that microwave that has been sitting on their network for 10 years which no longer gets updates. Or that 2019 Plex server they have put forwarded straight outside.

      It’s actually one of my beefs with containers, You can’t keep track of The versions for everything and you’re at the mercy of the maintainers to keep individual packages updated.

    This assortment is run under a combination of Proxmox LXC containers, docker containers, and Yunohost. Mostly I use it to play around, but most are heavily used by my wife and I. I’m planning to rebuild everything and making things more “official”. Looking to convert from a “lab” to actually making it “production” with solid failure routes and backups. I am looking to move anything currently under Yunohost to docker/lxc and to start making use of podman. Recently saw CosmOS and think it might be a good alternative to portainer.

    Hardware:

    • Node 1: Lenovo m93p tiny with 16GB RAM and 250GB SSD - Proxmox
    • Node 2: Lenovo m93p tiny with 16GB RAM and 250GB SSD - Proxmox

    • Node 4: Trigkey Green G3 with 16GB RAM and 1TB Sata SSD - Proxmox
    • TPLink managed switch
    • TerraMaster 2-bay NAS with 2x 2TB HD (NFS host for containers)

        LOL

        No, just a hobby. Been playing around for about a year. It started small with an old mac mini and Yunohost. Then I decided to play with Proxmox and bought a used m93p. Then I read about Proxmox clusters, so I got another m93p. I was going to use the mac mini in the cluster, but it was getting too slow, so I bought the Brix. Then I decided to migrate the Yunohost setup over to a VM in Proxmox. Then I figured I should learn a bit about docker. And it spiraled.

        I spend maybe 10-12 hours a month on installation and configuration. I spend way more time using it. A couple of weeks ago I spent about 15 hours over the weekend importing/uploading my audiobooks into AudioBookShelf. Last year I spent several weekends getting my Calibre library in shape and moving it to the web.

        I figure this is a much cheaper and safer hobby than drinking.

        I would go back if it was easy. The speed difference from just getting a listing of contents in a large directory over SMB is insane. It used to be instant and it takes like 10-15 seconds now. I’m not even using their app setup anymore, I gave up on it after a while because of a bunch of random issues with updates over time and switched to a dedicated box with Portainer installed. I really wish I could go back to core.

        I’m sure they’ll iron everything out but BSD is still king at the moment.

    Most of this stuff runs on my server at home (ASRock J4105-ITX, 8 GB RAM , 250 GB SSD, 18 TB HDD). The mail server and the blog run on a cheap VPS (1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 20 GB SSD). Both servers run NixOS.

      • Nextcloud, mainly for calendars and contacts; occasionally for sharing files with others.
      • Syncthing for syncing files.

      Quick question: have you thought about hosting Radicale and filebrowser instead of NextCloud? I think that would be definetly lighter on your system.

      Also: I have read lots of mixed opinions whether mailservers should be selfhosted - what is your take on this? Do you know about problems reaching the big player mailservers?

        When I looked around for CalDAV solutions the last time Nextcloud was the only one that allowed me to share calendars with my SO. Nextcloud isn‘t very taxing on my system because it doesn‘t do anything most of the time.

        Do you know about problems reaching the big player mailservers?

        Honestly, I don‘t know. I have never had a confirmed case of an email being rejected or classified as spam. There were some cases of not getting an answer to an email. But that could also be explained by shitty customer service.

        It is tricky to setup everything correctly if you are trying to do it all on your own but SNM holds your hand for setting up DKIM, SPF and DMARC. That‘s where some people may have problems. Also, forget about setting up a mail server at home with any IP address you get from your internet provider.

    Oh jeez… there’s quite the list. I have a Ceph cluster of 3 nodes with 15x HDD’s and 3 SSD’s… on that cluster I run some VM’s that in turn run a Docker swarm. All Ubuntu 22.04, all commodity hardware. Currently I’m running;

    • Portainer to help manage this beast
    • NGINX which proxies all my web facing services on multiple websites.
    • Wordpress for my personal site which sync my Instagram pictures to it as well
    • MariaDB Galera cluster
    • Nextcloud for file sharing but also provides lots of plugin services like a password manager, email client and so on
    • Photoprism for my photos… I use the Nextcloud client to automatically upload new pics from my phone to Nextcloud then Photoprism is attached to that same library
    • OnlyOffice as a plugin to Nextcloud to allow O365-like functionality
    • ElasticSearch plugged into Nextcloud for full-text searching
    • OpenProject for project management in my own businesses
    • Jellyfin and Plex both attached to the same media library
    • E-Mail using Docker-Mailserver… so Postfix with a bunch of ancillary tools for 3 domains
    • Droppy as a quick-and-dirty file repo for when I need to get files to people easily
    • FreePBX (Asterisk) with 4 extensions around the house
    • MeshCentral for managing my family’s PC’s and also doing remote tech support for family, friends and customers as necessary
    • FOGProject for imaging PC’s and VM’s as necessary
    • ReactiveResume
    • Docker Registry set up as a caching proxy
    • YoutubeDL-Material
    • Karaoke Eternal for those nights when you just get drunk enough to karaoke

    Then there’s a whole host of ancillary services; BackupPC, Unifi controller container, piHole on a couple of Raspberry Pi’s, ts-dnsserver for internal DNS management… probably a dozen other containers and tools I’m forgetting.

    Oh yeah, and a Synology NAS as a backup target :)

    • Grafana with some prometheuses to monitor all the infra
    • Some operators to monitor the external storage in backblaze
    • A mastodon instance on Hetzner
    • A lemmy instance on Hetzner too
    • My blog in Netlify. A static site made with Hugo
    • ArgoCD. Every app has its own repo with its descriptors.
    • Backups for Hetzner services

    I used to have an irc bouncer too but I didn’t use it enough.

    My short term plans are adding tdarr and transmission.

    I’m actually not that into actual self-hosting (it feels too close to my day job). But i love the idea of it, and actually do host my own RSS Reader: It’s selfoss (PHP + SQLite, so, very simple) and i have been using ever since google reader shut down. It runs on my uberspace.de instance.
