Feel free to take it as a chance to present yourself to the community!

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’“

Late to the party and after reading through some of these setups I may have to expand mine soon (it never ends does it?), here is what I have right now.

Unraid (Dell R720XD, dual Xeon E5-2670 v2, 64GB RAM, 12 x 6TB in 12 disk array with 2 parity disks, 800GB SSD cache pool)

-Homebox

-Nessus

-Headscale

-Collabora

-*arrs

-Jupterlab

-Mealie

-SearXNG

-IT-Tools

-EmulatorJS

-Youtube-DL-Material

There are some other things floating around in my homelab that aren't really 'selfhosted' things, just important to the home network:

3 HP Microserver Gen8's

-x1 with ESXi hosting pfSense

-x2 with TrueNas Scale for backups

R610 with ESXi for a few remote desktops and Home Assistant (which I'm sure I'll move to docker at some point).

Oooohhh... some really interesting and new-to-me apps in your list! Thanks for sharing.

[–] raef@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Two "servers"

Pi4-8gb; 1TB SSD:

External-facing

  • Pi-hole
  • home assistant
  • web server
  • Calibre
  • Simple games like Minecraft

Dual Xeon; 96Gb Ram; 50TB; bound NICs:

Internal, mostly

  • media: Jellyfin, -arrs
  • Sabnzbd
  • Steam games server (these are external containers)
  • Looking to add cloud files access; just haven't decided what and how, yet

Do you have some massive server home or using VPS/VDS?

[–] perishthethought@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I know it's been 2 months but I just stumbled upon your question.

Here's what my massive home server looks like. : )

Have a PC in the basement acting as a server.

  • Microk8s on Ubuntu Server
  • Custom-written experimental NodeJS app to help when playing D&D
  • Keycloak to act as an IDP
  • Cloudflare tunnel to receive traffic
  • Valheim server (temporarily -- I moved this back to local)
  • Wiki.js
[–] ProfessionalHandJob@lemmy.beyondcombustion.net 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

currently, I selfhost https://beyondcombustion.net and now https://lemmy.beyondcombustion.net for /r/vaporents and hopefully others. There's other stuff I self host too, this is the fun new stuff though.

[–] Tiritibambix@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm glad to see vaporents coming here. Is this an official migration or enthusiastic former redditors?

[–] ProfessionalHandJob@lemmy.beyondcombustion.net 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

As official as it gets lol.

I'm one of the mods, have a stickied post on this with a link at the end. Just haven't made a separate official post about it yet.

BeyondCombustion.net has been our wiki, formerly at github.io, for the last few years.

Decided to point that domain at some dell R720xd/R730xd boxes I picked up and setup a whole new entry into the fediverse, along with a number of other things for our users.

[–] Tiritibambix@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

That's great having you here. I'll stick around, and maybe post something to the community soon with my modest setup to have a little talk :)

[–] ronflex@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

I run one main hypervisor with a bunch of different Ubuntu server VMs that I spin up as I mess with different things. I'm old-school so I am not a fan of cloud computing or even docker. Services I host that I use the most are NAS (samba), plex, pi-hole, dokuwiki (huge documentation nerd), and zoneminder which is a great open-source security cam software.

I see people listing things I've never heard about...I thought I had spent a considerable amount of time on the old sub and knew stuff. Guess I gotta hit the books.

Right now though I'm hosting everything on a 2012 Mac Mini that's running Proxmox.

Been using these programs for awhile now:

  • Photoprism
  • wireguard
  • web blog testing instance while the live one lives on linode
  • plex
  • filebrowser
  • pi-hole
  • homepage

Nothing crazy but cool stuff to learn in my day to day. I want more hardware but I'm about to buy a house. It's crazy how much I'm throwing at an 11 year old computer and it's handling it all quite well.

Hi

I started self hosting 3 years ago when I got wind of tailscale. I've always cared about privacy and building things so that was great.

My infrastructure consists of two machines.

One - my personal and work server A deskmini i3 12th gen

256GB Boot drive 4TB NVME data drive

-photoprism -syncthing -nextcloud -Firefox+VPN -archivebox

Two - my media server that I let 6ish other people access - PC tower i3 12th gen

512GB Boot and docker config file drive 4*4TB HDD mergerfs for raw data

-jellyfin -*arr suite -gluetun VPN -audiobookshelf (also for auto downloading podcasts) -calibre-web

[–] ThatFunnyGuyver@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Ohh, I'd love to share.

Running most services as docker/ kubernetes containers.

Currently running Plex (previously Jellyfin, maybe will switch back) for media streaming.

Grocy for food/task/family organisation (grocery list and so forth)

Piehole for home ad-blocker and proxy πŸ™ŒπŸ»πŸ™ŒπŸ»πŸ™ŒπŸ»

[–] WezXL@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Starting to fall down the rabbit hole of self hosting,

Unraid, Plex & Pihole. Next project is Opnsense, then starting to look at Home Assistant.

[–] RobotDaniel@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I host a nextcloud sever (snap) and a minecraft server on a laptop I no longer use

[–] Deemo@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I use a combination of a MacMini Oracle cloud, probably not best long term solution but it's free (while it lasts).

Stuff that runs on Oracle:

  • caddy proxy (mostly used for Mac reverse proxy)
  • couch db (obsidian live sync plugin)

Stuff on Mac:

  • blue bubbles (iMessage relay for Android)
  • Plex (for photo backup)

Aside from that not much else 😊

[–] estevez@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

So... ODroid N2+ is hosting a Home Assistant. Nothing to add.

I have an old Intel Nuc nuc5cpyh that is currently hosting my WordPress blog at https://some-techy-tinkering.com/. Made it self-hosted a month ago and can't be happier.

The last machine is Intel Nuc nuc7i7bnh with 2 TBs of internal and 4.5 TBs of external drives. This is my main server with:

  • Nginx Proxy Manager
  • Nextcloud
  • Various *arr services
  • qBittorrent
  • Plex
[–] falcon15500@lemmy.nine-hells.net 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

A bunch (47 containers at present)... Won't list them here as its kind of redundant with what a lot of other people are running. My latest is Lemmy (lemmy.nine-hells.net).

[–] innercitadel@lemmy.nz 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

VPS (Ubuntu on 4 virtual cores, 10GB ram, 100GB NVME)

  • Mediawiki with semantic mediawiki and various plug-ins and 650 pages
  • Orthantic and OHIF (radiology images)
  • Moodle (docker)

Cloud container provider (different to above VPS provider)

  • 3 x mediawiki sites

Homelab (Unraid on i7 4790, 16gb RAM, 3 x 10TB HDD, 4TB external disk, no cache disk yet, RTX 3070, fractal define 7 mid tower)

  • Plex
  • Komga (comics)
  • Audiobookshelf
  • Kavita and Calibre (books)
  • Photoview (family photos)
  • Filebrowser (work)
  • Cloudflared (zero trust tunnels)
  • Heimdall (dashboard)
  • Krusader
  • Plugins: docker compose manager, docker patch, unassigned devices

Have ordered an N100 mini PC from aliexpress with plans of installing OPNsense and running a couple VMs on it.

My gaming computer for interest, not currently hosting anything: 5800X3D, 7900XTX, 32GB ram, 2TB NVME, 2TB SSD, 4TB HDD, fractal meshify midbtower case.

I also have a Pi 4 and a Pi 3 that I don't have any use for currently. Open to ideas. I already run Adguard on phone and Ublock origin on desktop browser, and don't see any current use for Pihole.

[–] Nilz@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 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

[–] Ascrod@midwest.social 1 points 9 months ago

I've been working on expanding my homelab recently. I have a physical box at home serving as an LXC host along with a few VPSes. I'm now up to:

  • Some static web sites
  • Nextcloud
  • Jellyfin
  • Forgejo
  • NTFY
  • A reverse proxy
  • An IRC server
  • A Gemini server
  • A VPN
  • DNS servers

I think I read an old blog post once that said "Servers tend to multiply like rabbits" and it's 100% true.

[–] snaf@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

Since I haven't seen it commented yet, I host a kiwix backup of stackoverflow and it has already saved me a couple times during outages.

[–] mrclark@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

First post in the world of Lemmy! Woot! Another Reddit escapee. I can't for the life of me understand the management team at Reddit. I get that they need to make money and that they're pissed off at the AI guys for pilfering their data but the people who contribute to the subreddits and moderate them for free are why Reddit is such a success. Why would you screw them over? It's so short sited. If you're pissed at OpenAI then talk to them and figure out how they can pay for your API access but don't screw the people that made you a success. They can afford to spend a little of the VC/Microsoft money. Okay...off the soap box now.....

Up until very recently I was running all my services on a HP DL380 Gen9 server. Beautiful server but sucks back electricity like a drunk on New Years Eve and is way too noisy for my office. Purchased 4 different Tiny PCs (3 Lenovos and 1 Dell).

One Lenovo (AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 2200GE with 32GB RAM) is running RockyLinux with Docker with 20+ containers currently running.

  • "Sweden Services" - SABnzbd, Sonarr, Radarr and Lidarr
  • Tools - IT-Tools, Pairdrop, CyberChef and Paperless NGX
  • Homelab services - Portainer, Dozzle and Nginx Proxy Manager
  • Info - FreshRSS
  • Media - Plex, Audiobookshelf and Navidrome

I'm constantly playing with different containers - adding, removing, etc. I did try making the switch to Podman as I like the idea of rootless containers but could not for the life of me get things like NFS shares and Portainer integration working and was spending way too much time fighting with it. Will probably try again in the near future.

Then the other 3 Tiny PCs are running XCP-NG with various VMs including my Xen Orchestra, Kali, a couple Windows machines (usually off), Tailscale gateway box and a few others. Again, mostly for testing things out.

Using OpnSense as my firewall. Have a TrueNAS system sharing files and another small Rockstor NAS also.

Looking forward to the community here. Thanks.

I host a bitcoin node, and some video

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)
    • 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
[–] CCatMan@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

My biggest issue with Dell is the inability to upgrade the power supply 😭

[–] flexnsniff@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 2 years ago

I selfhost a lot of the normal stuff everyone else does. Plex, AdguardHome, etc...

I also have a 96+ port dial-up server system: https://2600.network
