[–] owatnext@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I have a meager ds418play with 2x4tb drives set up with RAID. I forget what it's called, but it is one drive redundancy, 1:1. I run Plex and an FTP server on it for file storage.

[–] Audalin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have a MediaWiki instance on my laptop (I've found the features of all other wikis/mindmaps/knowledge databases decisively insufficient after having a taste of MW templates, Semantic MediaWiki and Scribunto).

Also some smaller things like pihole-standalone, Jellyfin and dictd.

Curious what you use a local version of MediaWiki for?

[–] Bharatkalluri@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Running Tipi on a five year old chrome box with tailscale as the VPN. Has been running great! Now I'm self hosting

  1. Adguard: adblocking inside tailnet & for DNS rewrites
  2. Barrage: Nice deluge UI
  3. Beszel: Clean & simple server monitoring. I monitor two of my instances & the self hosted setup on this.
  4. Beszel Agent: Agent for collecting data for Baszel
  5. Deluge: Torrenting
  6. Duplicati: Backups with a great UI
  7. File Browser: for quick ops
  8. Flowise AI: Great drag and drop LLM chat apps builder
  9. Immich: The absolute best way to manage pictures
  10. Jackett: For the arr stack
  11. Jellyfin: Media streaming solution with apps on my phone, TV & laptops
  12. Open WebUI: My default LLM chat client now, I no longer pay 20$ for chatGPT but just pay as I go with open webui and chatgpt api key
  13. Radarr
  14. Sonarr
  15. Uptime Kuma: Uptime monitoring for everything
  16. Wallos: Subscription management

Tipi is pretty awesome. If you haven't already, check it out!

[–] tired_n_bored@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Can't ask too much off my little laptop, but here it is

  • HomeAssistant
  • Frigate NVR
  • PiHole
  • Wireguard VPN
[–] Presi300@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

I don't selfhost very much compared to other people and my hardware's pretty much either all literally found in the garbage or 2nd hand, but here it is

PiHole

WireGuard server that passes trough pihole adblocking

Homarr (lol)

Deluge

The system is mostly a NAS that I also run the occasinal general purpose VM off of, here are the specs for the 3 ppl that care:

CPU: AMD FX-8320E

RAM: 16GB

Storage: 5x2TB Seagate something something 7200RPM in RAIDz1, 128 GB random chinese SSD (mostly for VMs and apps) the, OS runs off of a flash drive

OS: TrueNAS scale

[–] Omega_Jimes@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

A cobbled together Ryzen 2400g with 16GB of ram. Open Media Vault/Docker: Plex Nextcloud stack with dns refresh/ssl/nginx Sonarr/transmission stack with VPN PiHole Octoprint

Occasionally I run a game server or two when the need comes up, mostly Valheim lately.

[–] KelsonV@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

On my own hardware: At home I have a Raspberry Pi 4 running JellyFin as a local media server, also experimenting with PiHole. One of these days I'd like to pull my NextCloud server in-house.

VPS: Nextcloud (including calendar, notes, contacts & RSS/Atom), GoToSocial, WordPress, Gemini, and personal website with a mix of home-grown parts and sections managed through Eleventy.

I've also experimented with self-hosting Calckey , Snac2 and Mastodon, but Mastodon's too heavy for a single user and Snac2 is lighter than I want to go with for now. I may try Calckey again at some point, though.

Eventually I'd like to set up Wallabag and migrate from Pocket.

[–] monotux@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Also have a look at omnivore as a pocket alternative!

[–] kalpol@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

A Lack Rack with VMWare and TrueNAS servers, pfsense, Jellyfin, Zoneminder, web/email, Nextcloud, Minecraft, LineageOS build machine, .....other stuff

[–] blotz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

CF Tunnel

Cloud Flare tunnel? If so, Could you point me in the direction of some resources for cloudflare tunnels! I always feel like i'm stumbling around in the dark when i'm trying to configure a cloudflare tunnel! :P

[–] maya329@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Hey, I don't really have any resource, I also stumble and mess with it myself until I got the hang of it. I guess I can write a blogpost on how Cloudflare Tunnel actually works and how to configure it easily.

I'll update you once I do.

[–] CodeGameEat@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Since I'm moving very soon I'm also redoing everything, so this more of a "soon-to-be" than a current, but I will have:

3x ryzen 5600 w/ 32gb of ECC ram, 10gb network and some enterprise disks 1x mikrotik switch 1x mikrotik router

And I will host, using Kubernetes (Talos OS):

  • ceph
  • owncloud infinite scale
  • Immich
  • Jellyfin
  • Homeassistant
  • Hashicorp vault
  • Oneuptime
  • gitea
  • plane
  • actual (finance software)
  • probably forgetting some stuff
[–] capacitor@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How do you find actual? I couldn't really get to grips with it. Although it certainly seemed sleeker than Firefly III.

[–] KeepFlying@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Always looking for more, but so far it's pretty minimal.

  • Pi.hole with Gravity Sync
  • openhabian for smarthome hub

Looking to add Jellyfin and a sonarr radarr setup, but my QNAP doesn't like doing actual work so I've been struggling. Planning to add a mini PC soon as a more stable server and to centralize things a bit.

[–] iruga@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hi everyone! I’m a big fan of self hosting :)

I have a dedicated server in Hetzner

  • Intel Core i7-8700
  • 2x SSD M.2 NVMe 1 TB
  • 4x RAM 32768 MB DDR4

Been running it for almost a year without any issues. I host several things there. I’m using caprover.com for managing my deployments since I contributed on the project a few years ago and it’s so easy to get started.

Some of the things I host there:

  • nextcloud
  • MySQL
  • Postgres
  • privatebin
  • some Hasura instances
  • Kuma (for monitoring)
  • Browserless Chrome (which I use for web scrapping)
  • Plausible (analytics)
  • A private Ragnarok Online Server

I have setup a cron job that dumps my all of my databases (Postgres and MySQL) to my Google drive every midnight.

Hope this can help as inspiration for anyone else. Cheers!

I self host a website and email on linode. Sometimes I host game servers like minecraft at home. I'm currently trying to setup selfhosted nextcloud for a project that needs fileshare.

Minecraft server, a pingvin share site for myself, tubearchivist, pihole, pivpn, 25mb video compressor with a script and incrontab along with the same thing but for GIFs. I think that's most of the list

[–] remus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Lots of stuff! Currently running almost all of these in Docker on a Synology NAS:

  • Code Server - access my notes files remotely
  • Gitea - only used to store notes that are edited in Obsidian (or Code Server as mentioned above)
  • Home Assistant - home automation
  • Homebridge - used for one or two devices that have better integrations than natively in Home Assistant
  • Jellyfin - video streaming platform (installed because it's FOSS and seems interesting, but I rarely use it)
  • Overseerr - user-request app for video streaming platform (installed when I anticipated sharing my movies/shows before realizing that my ISP severely limits my upload speeds)
  • Pi-Hole - block all ads network-wide
  • Plex - primary video streaming platform
  • Radarr - download movies
  • Readarr - download books but have had better luck with Libgen on an ad-hoc basis
  • Sonarr - download shows
  • YTDL - download YT videos
  • Wireguard - VPN into the home network
[–] cow@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago
  • Caddy (web server)
  • Agate (gemini server)
  • FreshRSS (rss reader)
  • Yarr (rss reader)
  • ergo (irc server)
  • akkoma
  • prosody (xmpp)
  • conduit (matrix)
  • nextcloud
  • soju (irc bouncer)
  • gamja (irc web interface)
  • qbittorrent-nox
  • unbound/dnsmasq
  • isso (selfhosted comments server)
  • smbd and nfs server
  • pivpn wireguard
  • minecraft stuff in seperate ubuntu vm:
  • pterodactyl panel
  • pterodactyl daemon
  • probably something else I forget
  • currently just running a monero miner as I have not been playing minecraft recently.

Hardware: Main server Ryzen 7 3900XT with 64GB of ram, two 240GB ssds running in raid1, two 4tb hard drives running in raid1, running proxmox with mostly alpine linux VMs

Secondary Server: Intel nuc running alpinelinux, only running secondary unbound/dnsmasq server so if my main server goes down, dns still works.

Late 2013 iMac: I was using it to run an iMessage to matrix bridge but I was not able to get it to work so now I just vnc into it to text. (suggestions welcome as vnc is annoying)

I also have another intel nuc that does not do anything.

All of these servers are connected to an APC back-ups UPS.

I have a few raspberry pis, running Home Assistant, Unifi controller, PiHole... Otherwise i have DigitalOcean droplets, one hosts my Lemmy instance, and another hosts a couple of side project websites (my wife's freelance business, and some other stuff)

[–] vivia@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)
  • Two NextCloud instances, one is a RPi4 with a big external HDD which I use for backups, the other one contains everything else, including PhoneTrack. Happy to have a self-hosted privacy-friendly way to share my location with family.
  • Email using mailcow.
  • Jabber server using prosody. Using it with immediate family and two friends. Still super happy.
  • Web server including personal blogs. Currently looking to migrate away from Wordpress into something static without comments.
  • pihole
  • Half-finished home automation stuff.
[–] abs_mess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago

[–] Wintermute@lemmy.villa-straylight.social 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Lemmy, mostly :D. I also recently started up my own Matrix home server. I took a stab at email, but it was more trouble than it's worth considering my relatively newly acquired cloud hosting IP is on several blacklists. Now that I actually have a server running again Gitea might be next on the list of services that gets added.

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Currently I play around with a Raspi 4 8GB with docker-compose. Most services are accessible with VPN only:
Caddy (as easy reverse proxy)
Portainer (container dashboard)
Linkding (bookmarks)
Baikal (calendar, todo list to sync with Android by caldav)
Agendav (web calendar frontend)
Dillinger (browser markdown editor with PDF export)
Trilium (note app)
Syncthing (google drive/onedrive alternative)
Seafile (file sharing)
Jellyfin (media server)

[–] zingo@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Feel free to take it as a chance to present yourself to the community!

Hello, my name is Zingo and I have a selfhosting addition going back to 2016 when I bought my first NAS with docker capabilities.

Community: Hi Zingo! Welcome!

Thank you.

Currently struggling more than even as it starts to take over my life. I have tried over hundreds of services.

I'll try to find strength to list some at a later stage in this healing process. Sorry no bonus points. Maybe in the next session.

Thank you all for this awesome support. I would be lost without you. πŸ’“
