Jellyfin Nextcloud Homeassistant Mattermost Gitlab Visions of Chaos Oobabooga Automatic1111

I'm just getting my server up and running! Previously it only ran Honeassistant.

Now it runs proxmox, which boots 2 vms, one for HAOS and another for Debian. On the Debian vm there is currently Plex, nextcloud, and some -arr apps.

8 also have a separate raspberry pi pihole. I've had that going for years now, I think I first made it 2019.

Using LXD:

• ddclient
• Jellyfin (2)
• Minecraft (proxy + 4 servers)
• Satisfactory server
• V Rising
• Gitea vcs
• wordpress
• rtorrent
• other web servers

Using rootless Podman + Systemd service:

• Vaultwarden
• Linkding
• Traefik
• Immich photo backup
• Nextcloud (though I hate it, probably will stop)
• Grafana
• Prometheus
• Prowlarr/Radarr/Sonarr/Lidarr/Bazarr/Recyclarr
• Rtorrent + Flood
• Jellyseerr
• Navidrome (Subsonic server)
• Miniflux (RSS)
• Woodpecker (CI integration for Gitea)
• Tubearchivist (yt-dl)
• wg-easy (wireguard)
• searxng

All services are split across 2 DIY servers (in towers). 15TB of media stored on HDD with btrfs duplicated across both servers. One server host is Alpine Linux, the other is Opensuse MicroOS. LXD containers usually are Debian 12 or Alpine. I'm beginning to migrate some things to a cluster of (12) raspberry pi 3s. Unsure what to choose for rpi's, maybe, Fedora CoreOS (ublue), although Alpine does work extremely well on them (once you get them set up with it).

+ router running fresh tomato :)

Also mailcow for email, on a VPS, although I need to switch to a new provider, having difficulty with delivery using Linode and OVHCloud.

Available from internet:

• jellyfin
• jellyseerr
• immich
• paperless-ngx
• owncloud ocis
• traefik
• homarr

Available only from local:

• the *arr stack
• qbittorrent
• jackett
• watchtower
• apprise
• netdata (kinda new, still have to fully understand how it works)
• portainer
• speedtest-tracker
• homepage

Security

All the services available from internet, just goes through traefik to terminate https, I rely on the build in authentication of each service. To add another layer of security, I have fail2ban active on all those services.

I have a public IP, and I have open on my router ports 80, 443, a random port for ssh and vpn.

Hardware:

Memory:
  System RAM: total: 8 GiB available: 7.73 GiB used: 4.46 GiB (57.7%)
  Report: arrays: 1 slots: 4 modules: 2 type: DDR3

Graphics:
  Device-1: NVIDIA GP107 [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti] driver: nvidia v: 535.98

docker compose files

All the docker compose files + how I configured everything is available at: https://github.com/simone-viozzi/my-server

Bonus:

Since I like the ability of btrfs to do snapshots, I created all important docker volumes as btrfs subvolumes. Then I created a backup script that literally sends the subvolume (encrypted) to an external cloud. This does not allow incremental backups and most likely is not the best backup solution... but it works... the repo is: https://github.com/simone-viozzi/btrfs2cloud-backup

I welcome any advice / criticism!

I have been self hosting things for over 15 years. I now host on 7 computers. I'm proud of the fact that I stay under 100W idle, including 3 Omada WLAN APs and network technology (all via PoE and all is on a UPS). For most of the services i normally used the helper scripts. i'm currently in the process of moving everything to komodo. there should be an lxc for each service or service group, komodo pulls the compose files from gitea and deploys everything.

i'm happy to have found an entry point and an alternative to reddit here, even though my second post (question about suitable hardware with 32 answers) has already been deleted. hello everyone!

I run a bunch of bots, some databases plus

• Jellyfin
• Unifi controller
• Radar
• Sonarr
• Lidarr
• Bazarr
• nzbhydra2
• Sabnzbd
• Heimdall
• Twitch points miner 2

I'm running a Kubernetes cluster on the Dell hardware, then another single node k8s cluster on the Lenovo, mostly to run Adguard home / DNS in case the big cluster goes down for whatever reason.

Hardware:

• Two Dell r610s, each with 12 cores and 96 GB of RAM, running ESXi 6.7
• Lenovo M900, 4 core, 16 GB RAM, Ubuntu and k3s
• Synology 1515 with 12 TB usable
• Synology 1517 with 32 TB usable
• Juniper SRX 220H (Firewall)
• Juniper EX 2200 48 port switch
• UnFi in-wall WiFi APs

I run the following services, all in Kubernetes, with FluxCD doing GitOps from a repo in GitHub (for now, might move to Gitea later):

• Authentik
• Bookstack
• Calibre
• Flame (Homepage)
• Frigate NVR
• Home Assistant
• Memos
• Monica
• Plex
• Prowlarr
• Radarr
• Rocket Chat
• Sonarr
• Tandoor
• Tautulli
• Unifi
• UptimeKuma
• VS Code
• Zigbee2MQTT

Just testing from selfhosted instance!

Plex and a web app I wrote for a Twitch community I moderate.

Plex is on a server in the Netherlands and the web app is just AWS. I would've hosted on some spare hardware but my internet is notoriously trash and I didn't want to risk it going down while people are playing in the app.

Plex I might move onto a NAS at some point but I'm just too lazy lol.

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.

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.

Ceph (rbd,s3) on 4 poweredges.

Nomad, Consul servers running in a 3 node raft on some ARM SBCs.

Nomad clients on 2 poweredges and 3 arm SBCs running:

• s3 CSI (media and large file storage is all on s3)
• rbd CSI (all the stateful jobs have rbd block devices)
• NATS cluster with Jetstream to enable MQTT support
• mosquito mqtt (had to run mosquito for mqtt v5)
• mosquito<->nats bridge (via benthos)
• nodered (just for easy Google home integration)
• zwavejs2mqtt
• zigbee2mqtt
• frigate (can only talk mqtt v5 so had to run mosquito just for this)
• grafana
• gotify
• gitea
• drone CI
• postgresql
• BitTorrent client
• ceph rgw s3 gateways
• NATS based home automation lambdas - I wrote these in go
• Adguard home
• traefik as main ingress
• Prometheus
• prom node exporter
• jellyfin
• jackett
• a program I wrote that manages torznab->acquisiton->s3 lifecycle
• a website
• wireguard servers

And that is just in the server room - I also have more like the 3d printer and CNC machine controllers etc.

Currently self-hosting on an old HP Z600 I bought second hand with the following specs:

• CPU — 2x Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5660 @ 2.80GHz
• RAM — 96GB ECC DDR3 (6*16GB)
• Disks — 4TB HDD for Ubuntu, 10TB HDD for NextCloud and 2TB Sata SSD for Docker

For services, I'm currently running the following:

Docker

• Portainer — CF Tunnel
• FreshRSS — CF Tunnel
• ArchiveBox — CF Tunnel
• Adguard Home — Local
• 2x Uptime Kuma — CF Tunnel
• LinkAce — CF Tunnel
• TheLounge — CF Tunnel
• Watchtower — Local

For public access dockers

• Feedropolis
• Mirotalk SFU
• FiveFilters RSS
• Taiga
• 2x Mattermost Servers
• 8x Wordpress Staging Sites
• 1x Wordpress Dev Sites

For ubuntu, I'm running a few services and apps like:

• ScreamingFrog -9 sites using LAMP stack
• Aria2c with AriaNG
• NextCloud
• Plex
• 4x WebHooks server for communities
• Couple of API end points using Apache reverse proxy
• OpenVPN
• CrowdSec

Virtualized with libvirt:

• Nomad (3 nodes)
• Consul (3 nodes)
• Vault (3 nodes)
• Gitlab + CI
• Nextcloud
• Sonarr, radarr, bazarr, jackett, deluge
• Prometheus
• opensearch
• puppet
• powerdns (international authoritive main + replica), unbound (internal recursor), ntp (2 nodes)
• powerdns (public authoritive replica)
• haproxy (2 nodes)
• nfs, samba
• Seaweedfs (S3) (3 nodes)
• rsnapshot
• package repositories (deb, rpm - plain dirs/files served by apache, with some scripts to manage repo metadata)
• postgresql + patroni (2 nodes)
• container registry (to investigate replacing with zot)
• openldap, keycloak (2 nodes)
• unifi controller

In nomad:

• Grafana
• Vaultwarden
• Tandoor
• Matrix
• Puppetboard
• Prometheus exporters for various things

Offsite rpi @ parents

• Rsnapshot, samba

Rpi doing router duties, to be replaced with rb3011 when I finalize it's config in terraform

VPS:

• Powerdns (public authoritive primary), haproxy, postfix (secondary MX)
• Postfix (primary MX), dovecot, spamassassin, opendmarc, opendkim

Old laptop: k8s playground for learning

Short-term todo:

• Homeassistant

Public dns names have A records pointing to haproxy vps, which proxies to home over tunnel, and AAAA records pointing straight to home (I have static ipv6 prefix, but no static ipv4 address)

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.

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

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

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

• HomeAssistant
• Frigate NVR
• PiHole
• Wireguard VPN

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.

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.

I host one of the worlds last gopher sites. And some Telegram bots, on Raspberry Pi's.

Personally, I host Sandstorm, and Discord music bot, and Minecraft.

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

Navidrome

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.

• 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.

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.

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)

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. 💓
