Hey I'm kinda struggling to get my stuff self hosted. I set proxmox up and now I don't know what to do with it :D. Any suggestions?

[–] EpicFailGuy@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Soooo, proxmox is just the base of the ecosystem, it allows you to load a bunch of containers and virtual machines.

If you're not sure what you want yo host check this page out.

They have a bunch of container templates that are ready to host.

I've been trying to replace could services with self hosted ones for me and my loved ones; these are some of my favorites:

  • Nextcloud: replaces onedrive and dropbox
  • Pangolin: Replaces Cloudflared (a little technical)
  • Jellifin: Locally hosted netflix clone
  • Game server: Awesome multi game server host, I use it to play minecraft with my nephews, has a ton of games you can host
  • Joomla: (or any other CMS) when you mix it with Pangolin, it's an easy way to host a website
  • Netbird: overlay network manager that allows you to join multiple sites/networks as one LAN, it's great for off site backups and to play with friends and family without having to host anything
  • Grafana: Monitoring, data analytics and alerts. It's like task manager but a thousand times better.
  • Yunohost: It's a one click install user friendly interface to manage web apps.

Wasn't there some drama recently about Turnkey? I vaguely remember some kind of kerfuffle.

Haven't heard the gossip, please pray tell.

I may be hallucinating. It's kind of hard to keep up with everything sometimes. I'll see if I can dig up something. I wasn't throwing shade on your suggestion, or trying to inject doubt. It just triggered a light in my brain, but unfortunately, my brain has no recollection except that there was something. Thanks pos brain!

+1 for the helper scripts

P.s. Vault warden is an EXCELLENT self hosted password manager, highly recommend that as well.

P.P.S Do not make a self-hosted password manager your first project. You should expect one of these first projects to absolutely eat shit for reasons you don't fully understand yet, and having it be your daily-driver password manager would be a hell of a shitty weekend.

Very good advice, also backup daily and test for backups often !!!!
