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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I have an HP DL380 Gen8 and then a PC I bought from the local university and use as a server.
My DL380 runs ESXi. My PC runs Ubuntu on bare metal.
All of my apps are either fully VM-based (Home Assistant OS) or run in containers. Containers are far easier to build, upgrade, and migrate, and also make file management a lot easier.
I use Docker Compose. No Swarm or Kubernetes at this point.
Hopefully this is at least a good start! Let me know if you have any questions.
Yeah, that's great! I've got an old HP desktop that a family member discarded that will be the start of mine.
Do you use a single docker-compose.yaml file for an entire machine, or docker-compose files per-app?
A combo of both. I group all my media apps like Sonarr, Radarr, SABnzbd, etc together in one compose since I consider each of them to be a part of the same “machine”, but most of my apps have their own compose.
