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.

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.

Manjaro Linux with ZFS on some old gaming PC.

Home Automation and IoT with HomeAssistant in a virtual box. Database for storing some IoT history (not hooked up to Home Assistant yet but recording from MQTT) with MariaDB. Media Server with Emby. Photograph Backups with Immich; just playing with this for now. Constantly have problems running it to do with not connecting to Redis or PostGres :/ MQTT Server with Mosquitto for some custom IoT devices. VPN with WireGuard. File Syncronization with Syncthing; to/from phone and other computers. Torrenting with Deluge and Deluge Web.

I've got a Nextcloud instance that I've run for a few years. Love it. At home I have an Odroid H3+ with 64GB of ram running Openmediavault. Got about a dozen containers running on that. I need to play with it more and use that ram. I did try to get Boinc running on it but it, sadly, kept shutting down. I'll have to find a another way to contribute to science.

At home on multiple Pis: OpenMediaVault HomeAssistant Raspbee (Zigbee module) Unifi controller

Server 1 (Ubuntu): Wireguard

Server 2 (Ubuntu): Nextcloud Trillium Gitea Vaultwarden Calibre Web Vikunja Photoprism Paperless

All services only run on the Wireguard interface.

And I am looking into some billing tools for my side-gig.

[–] Peef_Rimgar@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Currently: RPi4 with CasaOS, running Pihole and Home Assistant, which I honestly rarely use, unfortunately.

Potentially planned: -Jellyfin -Rustdesk server -Some samba solution on RPi4 for my hdd I currently have hooked to my router, any advice on what I should look into for that would be appreciated.

VFIO KVM/ QEMU GPU passthrough for Windows VM for Solidworks. A forked program that I've turned into something completely different, I took some random http server from github and made it convert PDFs to Excel, linked it to my website so it can be used. Got a small network share for all the movies I've got which is kinda a lot Made a VM with a dedicated nic for managing my websites

Everything is on One PC, got 4 more systems that have no purpose and are there if this one dies so I have reserve. Any ideas on how to repurpose them? Also on todo list is an self hosted mail server that I'm yet to do because of domain issues. They are expensive lol

[–] nieceandtows@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I have a jellyfin server on a pi4. I recently bought a dell micro pc, but haven't had the motivation to move the jellyfin server over to it yet.

[–] mintopiasystem@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago

We have experimented with using a home media server through Plex. We got it to work, but we generally do not keep it running all the time.

I'm self-hosting some stuff on a yunohost server but i plan to switch to start9 once they add support for clearnet.

  • Nextcloud
  • Jellyfin
  • Calibreweb
  • Email (though I don't really use it)

I would be hosting more but our internet is too slow for anything else to really be effective.

the following in digitalocean cause uptime is super important -mastodon -lemmy -matrix -url shortener for fediverse

All are running ubuntu server
