Calibre running on Ubuntu
Windows Desktops running on Hyper-V Server (Cost and extreme time constraints forced me to setup a Hyper-V server on bare metal, at the time VMWare was not playing nice with Win11 and I did not have the time to troubleshoot).

Home server is currently running;

• Firefly III (accounting software for me and the wife)
• Deemix (I can scrape all the flacs I want)
• Droopy (Fileshare (Deemix downloads save to it))
• Portainer (Docker web client)
• Firefox (Chat-GBT has blocked my VPN so I run Firefox from the server bypassing the VPN)

All the above are running in Docker.

On the to-do list;

• wiki.js ( This is a demo for work, hopefully get the go ahead to move all IT documentation away from doc and folder)
• Snip-IT (Again demo for work, so we can move away from an excel file)

I've been running Arch Linux on a Gigabyte Brix with two USB HDDs for... years now. At least 8. On and off, there were several services, but mostly, this device is meant to host

• NFS and SMB file shares
• syncthing, because I can't get my Macbook to use the network shares in a performant way
• plex media server
• nginx with mariadb for a privately hosted database of a German TV show (Tatort) and also a self-made expense tracker
• paperless-ngx for electronic document management
• traefik as a reverse proxy
• heimdall to remind me what's there :)
• a couple statically generated web sites
• changedetection.io to check some websites for changes
• watchtower to at least notify me when new docker images are available
• portainer to have kind of a dashboard for all services
• youtube-dl-material
• dokuwiki as a second brain

Since Arch Linux is rolling, it sometimes simply breaks after an update. But since the services have gotten more critical for me over time (especially plex :) ) I plan on putting some of the services to a host in the cloud behind a WireGuard VPN. Also, the Brix should be re-installed with Ubuntu or Debian some day.

A full setup around managing and download multimedia content

• Jellyfin for playing everywhere
• Sonarr and Radarr for automatically renaming and sorting
• Prowlarr and QBittorrent for downloading
• Filebrowser as a kind of light-weight cloud
• Caddy docker proxy for handling every service a subdomain
• And a bunch of other tools for sysadmin tasks

I have proxmox running on PC in my closet. So far not a ton of things hosted on it:

Current:

• Minecraft (vanilla) on debian
• Valheim on debian
• A debian VM running some tools (namely dynamic DNS)

Planned:

• Plex!
• Prolly more game servers

Currently running on an old HP Prodesk G2 with Debian 11:

• Actual Budget : personal finance & budgeting
• Dashy : dashboard
• Jupyter : web-based use of jupyter notebooks for data analysis
• Photoprism : photo library
  • I use FolderSync on mine and my wife's phones to backup photos to photoprism nightly via WebDAV
• mariadb : metadata storage for photoprism
• Pihole : for ad blocking on the network
• Traefik : proxies access to all services

Plus grafana and prometheus for monitoring, although I haven't fully configured them so they're not terribly useful at the moment.

All are running as rootless docker containers. I've considered switching back to normal rooted containers, since there are some oddities with file permissions and networking (e.g., pihole only sees one client IP address).

All data is backed up to BackBlaze B2 via restic.

my website, mail server... using free software, of course

Across my and some family members' homes:

• pihole and openvpn via pivpn(sharing a pi4 in each house)
• transmission and minidlna (another pi4 with an external hdd)
• folding@home (on a beefier Intel NUC)
• homeassistant (same NUC)
• one house has a funkier setup running on a NUC with homeassistant, appdaemon, influx, grafana and a custom django app that manages them all so they do aome fancier automation for heating/cooling and power consumption

On the internet:

• a pretty much abandoned blog in Bulgarian built with hugo and deployed on gitlab pages
• a single user akkoma instance I've migrated off of, but am still keeping for no logical reason, running in docker on a Hetzner VPS
• a calcley instance that's my current main home on the fediverse, also in docker on a separate Hetzner VPS, this one setup a bit less amateurishly, behind cloidflare and using R2 for sorage
• a nitter instance for those terrible cases when someone sends me a link to The Bad Place that I still want to see.
• I set up a bibliogram and proxytok on the same VPS as the nitter instance, but those no longer work after some agressive API changes on IG and tiktok.

Using gentoo Linux with raspberry pi 4B

• Home Assistant (running on RPi, proxied to VPS)
• Zigbee2MQTT (running on RPi)
• NodeRed (running on RPi)
• Joplin (VPS, opensource note taking app)
• Minecraft modded modpack (VPS, statech 1.0.3) Probably a couple more I'm forgetting.

This is all in docker containers behind a reverse proxy using Traefik. Im happy with the setup as it's really versatile and so far hasn't failed me. Biggest upgrade I've done is replacing the SD card of the RPi with an SSD

• Heimdall
• Home Assistant
• Plex
• Nginx Proxy Manager - ram hog
• Adguard
• NodeRed
• ZWaveJS
• Zigbee2Mqtt
• Portainer
• qBittorent
• Ring-MQTT

Running on a minisofurm mini pc with 5600h, paid $219 and used spare drives and ram lying around. Used to run 2 raspberry pi 4s but retired those due to updating home assistant via docker getting really old. Proxmox handles things great, like the flexibility and performance boost too, especially just pulling docker images lol, unarchiving was so painful on pi 4.

I got 2 q+ tv boxes running armbian for h6

1st one runs as my dns server + sinkhole via technitium (pihole is a bit janky on them idk why) 2nd one runs as my unifi controller + samba fileserver + torrent downloader

Reason why i went with this is because they are cheaper than sbc or 2nd hand laptop

Fun part is that they are running at 20w/h in total

Part of my Reddit exodus plan was to get serious about my RSS setup.

I've settled on:

• FreshRSS as my feed manager (supported by Reeder app in iOS and MacOS)
• FiveFilters Full Text extractor
• rss-proxy site scraper

I may experiment with some replacements for rss-proxy, as I've run into a couple sites it doesn't scrape well, but FreshRSS and FiveFilters have been smashing successes.

I have DietPi running on an RPi 4 with 4GB RAM.

Everything here is hosted in docker containers:

• Portainer (docker management)
• Nginx Proxy Manager (for reverse proxy)
• Nextcloud (file storage + calendar)
• Kanboard (task management + kanban board)
• Homepage
• Transmission (behind VPN with Flood web frontend)
• Jellyfin media server
• A Discord bot for my server
• Watchman, my RSS feed to Kindle setup (https://github.com/andrwcnln/watchman)

I've probably forgotten some things but that's the main bulk of it. Can't recommend DietPi enough if you are looking for a super lightweight OS for you Pi server, has been perfect for me so far. Here are some things I am looking to host in the future too:

• ntfy (for push notifications)
• Apache server for my websites
• Pi-hole
• Plausible (a replacement for Google analytics for websites)
• Vaultwarden

My general rule is to not self host things that are good enough / free (as in $$ not FOSS). So I don't host email or music. I'm not a huge music person so spotify does the job, and gmail's been great since it started.

Things I do host

• media server (jellyfin + sonarr/radarr etc)
• stable diffusion image generation server
• games (starbound mostly, killed minecraft after microsoft takeover)
• lemmy
• comics/manga server (komga)
• yt-dl web interface

I plan on getting a server this summer (building it myself), and the things I have planned this far:

• bitwarden
• monica
• minecraft
• factorio
• email server
• maybe pihole
• maybe lemmy
• jellyfin

Edit: forgot jellyfin

Prefacing by saying my lab is severely breaking ~~some~~ a lot of best practices due to hardware availability limitations

Anyone else using n8n?

• Jellyfin - film/tv, both locally and on a seedbox.
• stable-diffusion-webui - self explanatory
• Matrix/synapse - private instant messaging for myself and tech minded friends
• MeTube - web UI for youtube-dl
• Stash - like Jellyfin/Plex but for any adult media you may have (link is SFW).
• Lemmy - only privately just seeing how it all works, I don't intend to make a public instance.
• A fairly typical LEMP (Ubuntu, Nginx, MariaDB, PHP) stack on my VPS

Stuff I used to use or have at least tried out:

• Plex
• Calibre-web
• Typical LAMP (CentOS, Apache, MySQL, PHP) stack back in the old days (PHP4/5) when I did a bit of web dev.

I've been trying to get docker swarm running across my 4 rpi's, but traefik hasn't been able to discover services (can find them on the same node if the network is a bridge, can't find anything with overlay network) which has been frustrating to try to figure out the problem. That said, here is what I plan to host on the swarm:

• traefik
• grocy
• nextcloud
• vaultwarden
• plex
• nginx (portfolio website that I currently just have on GitHub pages)
• lemmy instance (for some of you beautiful bastards)
• readarr, sonarr, readarr, lidarr, prowlarr, sabnzb, and qbittorrent

• Home Assistant - smart home management
• OMV - storage manager/docker host
• Portainer - docker manager
• Overseer - media manager/request interface
• Sonarr - tv show manager
• Radarr - movie manager
• SABNZBD - media finder
• Plex - media server
• Tautulli - plex monitor
• Kavita - book/comic manager
• Octoprint - remote 3d printer management
• Pi-Hole - network ad filter
• Uptime Kuma - uptime monitor

I use the following a lot:

• Nextcloud for files, calendar and contacts
• synapse + a few brudges for IM
• mail server
• tandoor for recipes and grocery shopping lists
• gitea
• wireguard
• miniflux
• rmfakecloud And from time to time:
• jellyfin
• wallabag

Tandoor is imho somewhat overlooked and really nice.

I've got 3 "servers" at the moment running lots of fun services.

Dell Optiplex Tower

• Sevarr Suite
• Audiobookshelf
• Calibre/Calibre-Web
• Nextcloud
• FreshRSS
• Paperless
• Linkding
• Dillinger
• HomeAssistant
• Mealie
• WikiJS
• Gitea
• PiHole
• Homepage

Old Laptop

• Project Zomboid Server
• Minecraft Server
• copyparty
• Tinfoil/NUT

Raspi4

• Klipper/Mainsail
• Obico
• VanDam

I also run Plex off of my Desktop, but I plan to build a new server soon to replace the Optiplex that I can migrate it to. I'm also going to be integrating Authentik. Everything is managed using Yacht and running on Ubuntu, then proxied through Cloudflare or tunnelled through Tailscale.
