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.

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 3: Gigabyte Brix with 16GB RAM and 500GB Sata SSD, 128GB m.2 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)
  • Synology ds220j NAS with 2x 8TB HD (backup of home desktops, laptops, cell phones, and lab systems)

You're doing that as a full-time job, right?

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.
