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).

  • 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.

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!

Thanks for you detailing your experience.I am very interested in CapRover! I do not quite understand databases and Docker containers though. The one click WordPress deployment has a db version. What of Moodle, Nextcloud or Invoice Ninja though? Do they need their own containerised databases or can I just use MyPHPadmin to import all my current Mysql databases from my current shared hosting in the same db once the WP one click install is done? Also, would it be possible to setup a cron job to backup to a storage drive plugged into a home router? Thanks!

Late to the party and after reading through some of these setups I may have to expand mine soon (it never ends does it?), here is what I have right now.

Unraid (Dell R720XD, dual Xeon E5-2670 v2, 64GB RAM, 12 x 6TB in 12 disk array with 2 parity disks, 800GB SSD cache pool)

-NextCloud

-Plex

-Emby

-Gitea

-Backrest

-MariaDB

-Netbootxyz

-Trillium

-Traccar

-Vaultwarden

-Adguard-Home

-Unifi

-Homebox

-Nessus

-Headscale

-Collabora

-*arrs

-Jupterlab

-Mealie

-SearXNG

-IT-Tools

-EmulatorJS

-Youtube-DL-Material

Proxmox (old Intel server S2600WT2, dual Xeon E5-2620 V2, 768GB RAM, 5 x 2TB disks):

-Zap2XML

-Immich

-Mumble

-NextPVR

-Stirling-PDF

There are some other things floating around in my homelab that aren't really 'selfhosted' things, just important to the home network:

3 HP Microserver Gen8's

-x1 with ESXi hosting pfSense

-x2 with TrueNas Scale for backups

R610 with ESXi for a few remote desktops and Home Assistant (which I'm sure I'll move to docker at some point).

Presently, my Fediverse presence is mostly self-hosted by one definition or another. This Lemmy instance lives on my server, and my Masto is hosted by a company dedicated to exactly that because it's dirty cheap and one fewer thing for me to worry about.

Looking to add to the list.

[–] bakarel@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] dreamfinder@dis.ney.ink 2 points 2 years ago

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)

I might be the only person self hosting a gopher server. Its running on a Raspi 4 on my home network, using Flask Gopher.

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.

[–] Nilz@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago

Hi there. My first post in this community.

I'm currently running:

  • Pi-hole
  • Plex Media Server
  • Grafana
  • Torrent server
  • Monica
  • Shaarli
  • Matrix instance
  • Arch package cache
  • Several game servers such as Minecraft and Terraria
  • VM running Volvo software to troubleshoot my cars.

My hardware: I used to run it all on a Supermicro x9drd-7ln4f-jbod with dual Xeon E5-2670 v2 with 16x16GB ECC ram and 6x 3TB disks in raidz2 for storage and 2x 60gb Intel SSDs for OS. I started with less and upgraded towards this configuration but it was consuming 300 watt idle which was just unacceptable.

So earlier this year I upgraded to an ASRock Rack x470D4U with Ryzen 7 5700x and 4x32GB ECC (non-registered) ram and 6x 2TB SSDs in raidz2. 1 ssd is in the nvme slot on the motherboard, 4 are in a 4x4 bifurcation card in the 16x slot and 1 more in a 4x riser. All PCIe lanes of the CPU are used. This setup is not possible with an AMD CPU with integrated GPU since it will take up 4 PCIe lanes (you can guess how I know). It uses about 20 watt idle without any containers and VMs running. I initially didn't want to move away from Supermicro but the ASRock Rack motherboard has IPMI so I'm not missing out on much.

Hardware and software suggestions are welcome :D

[–] flexnsniff@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 years ago

I selfhost a lot of the normal stuff everyone else does. Plex, AdguardHome, etc...

I also have a 96+ port dial-up server system: https://2600.network

[–] bigDottee@geekroom.tech 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I cover most of what services I’m running in my own post looking for assistance recently.

[–] ProfessionalHandJob@lemmy.beyondcombustion.net 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

currently, I selfhost https://beyondcombustion.net and now https://lemmy.beyondcombustion.net for /r/vaporents and hopefully others. There's other stuff I self host too, this is the fun new stuff though.

I host a nextcloud sever (snap) and a minecraft server on a laptop I no longer use

[–] Hyunta@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 7 months ago

Thank you for all for sharing 🀩 I still havent determine if I'm going self hosting at home or with a VPS, but I discovered cool projects!

[–] tinysalamander@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I see people listing things I've never heard about...I thought I had spent a considerable amount of time on the old sub and knew stuff. Guess I gotta hit the books.

Right now though I'm hosting everything on a 2012 Mac Mini that's running Proxmox.

Been using these programs for awhile now:

  • Photoprism
  • wireguard
  • web blog testing instance while the live one lives on linode
  • plex
  • filebrowser
  • pi-hole
  • homepage

Nothing crazy but cool stuff to learn in my day to day. I want more hardware but I'm about to buy a house. It's crazy how much I'm throwing at an 11 year old computer and it's handling it all quite well.

[–] estevez@lemmy.one 1 points 2 years ago

So... ODroid N2+ is hosting a Home Assistant. Nothing to add.

I have an old Intel Nuc nuc5cpyh that is currently hosting my WordPress blog at https://some-techy-tinkering.com/. Made it self-hosted a month ago and can't be happier.

The last machine is Intel Nuc nuc7i7bnh with 2 TBs of internal and 4.5 TBs of external drives. This is my main server with:

  • Nginx Proxy Manager
  • Nextcloud
  • Various *arr services
  • qBittorrent
  • Plex
[–] falcon15500@lemmy.nine-hells.net 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

A bunch (47 containers at present)... Won't list them here as its kind of redundant with what a lot of other people are running. My latest is Lemmy (lemmy.nine-hells.net).

[–] innercitadel@lemmy.nz 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

VPS (Ubuntu on 4 virtual cores, 10GB ram, 100GB NVME)

  • Mediawiki with semantic mediawiki and various plug-ins and 650 pages
  • Orthantic and OHIF (radiology images)
  • Moodle (docker)

Cloud container provider (different to above VPS provider)

  • 3 x mediawiki sites

Homelab (Unraid on i7 4790, 16gb RAM, 3 x 10TB HDD, 4TB external disk, no cache disk yet, RTX 3070, fractal define 7 mid tower)

  • Plex
  • Komga (comics)
  • Audiobookshelf
  • Kavita and Calibre (books)
  • Photoview (family photos)
  • Filebrowser (work)
  • Cloudflared (zero trust tunnels)
  • Heimdall (dashboard)
  • Krusader
  • Plugins: docker compose manager, docker patch, unassigned devices

Have ordered an N100 mini PC from aliexpress with plans of installing OPNsense and running a couple VMs on it.

My gaming computer for interest, not currently hosting anything: 5800X3D, 7900XTX, 32GB ram, 2TB NVME, 2TB SSD, 4TB HDD, fractal meshify midbtower case.

I also have a Pi 4 and a Pi 3 that I don't have any use for currently. Open to ideas. I already run Adguard on phone and Ublock origin on desktop browser, and don't see any current use for Pihole.

[–] ThatFunnyGuyver@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Ohh, I'd love to share.

Running most services as docker/ kubernetes containers.

Currently running Plex (previously Jellyfin, maybe will switch back) for media streaming.

Grocy for food/task/family organisation (grocery list and so forth)

Piehole for home ad-blocker and proxy πŸ™ŒπŸ»πŸ™ŒπŸ»πŸ™ŒπŸ»

[–] lapping147@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

Got a proxmox node with a couple of vm's, mostly for hosting docker.

I'm considering switching proxmox for kubevirt, but I'd have to deploy all my container as either k8s deployments or create new vm for docker...

Been using prometheus at work lately and I want to create a push setup with thanos backend, but for now it's just an idea

[–] Deemo@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

I use a combination of a MacMini Oracle cloud, probably not best long term solution but it's free (while it lasts).

Stuff that runs on Oracle:

  • caddy proxy (mostly used for Mac reverse proxy)
  • couch db (obsidian live sync plugin)

Stuff on Mac:

  • blue bubbles (iMessage relay for Android)
  • Plex (for photo backup)

Aside from that not much else 😊

[–] Ascrod@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago

I've been working on expanding my homelab recently. I have a physical box at home serving as an LXC host along with a few VPSes. I'm now up to:

  • Some static web sites
  • Nextcloud
  • Jellyfin
  • Forgejo
  • NTFY
  • A reverse proxy
  • An IRC server
  • A Gemini server
  • A VPN
  • DNS servers

I think I read an old blog post once that said "Servers tend to multiply like rabbits" and it's 100% true.

[–] Teng@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Do you have some massive server home or using VPS/VDS?

I've been getting deeper in to how this can go over the summer. I've done plex for a good few years at this point, but i've got this now: -Ubuntu bionic -Dockge (for easy rebooting when i'm just not feeling the CLI) -Arr stack -Gluetun (VPN for stack) -Firefox (LAN access only, no other access from gluetun) -Radarr -Sonarr -qbittorrent -prowlarr -Immich -Plex

A few I've tried but can't get to work on docker-compose yet: -searxNG -Heimdall (just can't get the graphs I wanna see for the systems processes) -homarr (not bad, just same as heimdall)

I wanted to cut over to proxmox from ubuntu just to have more server efficient since i'm not running ubuntu server. However I'm still fairly new to this and the cut over from docker desktop and docker run to docker-compose was a lot for a bit, so it'll still be on the list, but probably when I upgrade this old cpu (i5 6500) to something newer since this is an old thinkcenter. I'm hella open to any suggestions anyone's got
