Selfhosted

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.

Just joined a couple of days ago so only fair to sum up the things I host myself.

I have 2 locations I host my personal stuff.

  • Datacenter:

    • Websites
    • DNS servers
    • Lemmy
    • Friendica
    • Mail servers
  • Home:

    • Home Assistant
    • Frigate
    • Jellyfin (incl Sonarr, Radarr etc)
    • Immich
    • Fileserver
    • Nextcloud

In the Datacenter I still run a VMware ESXi server that needs to be replaced (this winter) and at home I have a Truenas server and 4 Proxmox nodes cluster.

Thanks for the response. I really should just dive in, but I’ve got this nagging fear that I’m going to forget about some DNS record that will bork my entire mail service. It good to hear about some working instances that people are happy with.

After you setup the mail gateway you can telnet to port 25 and do the command line mail test and see if mail is delivered to your mail server. After that is confirmed you change your dns mx records.

That’s a great tip. I’d completely forgot you can use telnet for that. Thanks!
