These services are the result of years of development and administrating my lab and while there is still some cruft, it's mostly services that I think have real utility.

As far as hardware:

• Running pfsense on a toughbook laptop as a router-firewall.

• A SuperMicro 24 bay disk-shelf with Proxmox and ZFS for NAS duties and a couple services.

• Lenovo Tiny boxes with a Proxmox cluster for the majority of my local services.

• Dell managed switch

• A few Raspberry-pi's with Raspbian for various things.

• Linksys AP for wifi

Edit: Spelling is hard.

Oh my jesus, does this thread really have 400+ comments

Edit: respectfully as an atheist

As an offensive security worker.... I can't help but read people listing out their attack surface 😂

PLANNING TO ADD
Reverse-proxying (likely NPM) + Security (Fail2Ban, Autheilia?)
Audiobooks
Comic book management
Translation service
Document manager
Home Assistant on its own Pi4 when I can get hold of one

I have a VPS (netcup) with 8 cores, 12GB RAM and 320GB SSD. Hosting there on Ubuntu 22.04:

• Matrix
• Mastodon
• Nextcloud
• Wordpress
• Adguard
• Stirling PDF
• Gotify
• Bitwarden

At home I have a Ryzen 5 5600G with 16GB RAM on a B550 aorus elite v2 with 2TB nvme SSD and 2x 6TB seagate HDDs.

Hosting there on Fedora 38 KDE:

• Immich
• Jellyfin
• Lemmy
• Photoview
• ArozOS
• Paperless
• Dashdot
• Codeserver
• LXD Dashboard
• Scrutiny
• Cloudbeaver
• jDownloader
• Kavita
• Podgrab

Currently a new instance of Lemmy, other than that I have a Synology NAS where I host:

• Plex
• Synology Drive (alternative to Dropbox etc.)
• Synology Office (alternative to Google Docs)
• VPN server

There's also docker where I host:

• Gitlab
• AdGuard Home

• Lemmy Instance
• VaultWarden - Password manager
• Jellyfin - Movies/TV Shows
• Roon / Roon ARC - Music
• OneDev - Used to use Gitlab but couldn't afford the self-hosted instance anymore and want the paid features, which this mostly has.
• Dokuwiki - Used to use as a wiki, switched to...
• Trilium - Similar to Obsidian but open source.
• Kavita - Comics/books
• TubeArchivist - YouTube video downloader/viewer
• PodGrab - Podcast manager
• Wallabag - Website article saver/bookmarker etc. If anyone has a better suggestion for FOSS bookmark management please let me know!
• Mealie - Recipe manager (grabs recipes from a ton of different sites)

I use TrueNAS Scale for my NAS and Ubuntu server for my VM's/home server. I probably am forgetting something, but, that's what's listed in my Portainer :).

• Plex and Jellyfin for movies and TV shows. I want to switch from Plex to Jellyfin but it is not quite there yet. It‘s very little effort to keep Jellyfin running in parallel though. I am keeping it around to regularly compare the two and re-evaluate.
• Tube Archivist for archiving and watching YouTube videos.
• Miniflux for reading feeds.
• Nextcloud, mainly for calendars and contacts; occasionally for sharing files with others.
• Syncthing for syncing files.
• Financier for budgeting.
• Paperless-ngx for managing documents.
• Qbittorrent for downloading and sharing Linux ISOs.
• Prowlarr for searching Linux ISOs.
• Copyparty for sharing Linux ISOs with friends.
• Shaarli for saving bookmarks.
• Jekyll for statically generating my personal blog.
• Caddy as HTTP server / reverse proxy for all of the above. Automatically provisions certificates from Let‘s Encrypt.
• PostgreSQL as database for Nextcloud and Miniflux.
• Simple Nixos Mailserver for emails with Postfix, Dovecot and rspamd.
• Dehydrated for getting certificates from Let‘s Encrypt for the mail server.
• Btrbk and Restic for backups.

Most of this stuff runs on my server at home (ASRock J4105-ITX, 8 GB RAM , 250 GB SSD, 18 TB HDD). The mail server and the blog run on a cheap VPS (1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 20 GB SSD). Both servers run NixOS.

I run my own kubernetes cluster in 3 thinkcentres I bougth for cheap. Each of them has a proxmox and an ubuntu with k3s on top of it. The storage is an NFS I run from a good old qnap.

https://files.catbox.moe/8w2e7y.png

• I run my dashy (screenshot above) as homepage.
• Plex for media consumption
• Chat-with-gpt because it is far cheaper than an openai subscription
• Self hosted vaultwarden for the family
• Home assistant for home automation
• Klipper for the 3d printer
• Pi hole in a raspberry pi next to my router to kill ads at home
• Grafana with some prometheuses to monitor all the infra
• Some operators to monitor the external storage in backblaze
• A mastodon instance on Hetzner
• A lemmy instance on Hetzner too
• My blog in Netlify. A static site made with Hugo
• ArgoCD. Every app has its own repo with its descriptors.
• Backups for Hetzner services

I used to have an irc bouncer too but I didn't use it enough.

My short term plans are adding tdarr and transmission.

Pihole Keycloak Lemmy

The "usual" Plex stack:

Plex Sonarr Radarr Readarr Calibre & Calibre-Web Sabnzbd Nzbhydra

I want to throw Nextcloud into the mix, but I haven't gotten the motivation to do that yet. I have 102TB of disk on a 4 node kubernetes cluster just for fun

On 3 Rpis and a NAS around my home:

• Nextcloud - Google replacement

• Actual Budget - YNAB type server that's super simple and meets my needs

• Apache web server - portal to my projects

• PiHole - DNS pass/allow list

• PiVPN - Allows me to connect to my home VPN when abroad

• 2009Scape - A little RuneScape Private Server I turn on and off on my desktop when I'd like to afk at work

• Docker - A couple docker instances - one on my test pi I use to roll out onto my "prod" servers

• Backup server - 14TB backup with an offsite copy :D

• Joplin - Note-taking app - barely a server connected through Nextcloud

• Plex - Everyone knows about Plex - I'm thinking of switching to JellyFin

• rtorrent - kinda old-school compared to the *arr programs but I enjoy manually downloading all my media :)

Hope I'm not forgetting any!

These days I just got a plex server and a project zomboid server running.

• Matrix Synapse
• Paperless-ngx
• MediaTracker
• Lychee
• Immich
• AudioBookShelf
• Baikal
• Monica
• Nextcloud
• Calibre-web
• Piwigo
• Pinry
• Prosody
• Shaarli
• Wallabag
• mygpodder
• Peertube
• Mealie
• Mastodon
• Firefox sync
• Seafile
• Dokuwiki
• The Lounge
• Redmine
• Gitea
• Castopod
• Portainer

This assortment is run under a combination of Proxmox LXC containers, docker containers, and Yunohost. Mostly I use it to play around, but most are heavily used by my wife and I. I'm planning to rebuild everything and making things more "official". Looking to convert from a "lab" to actually making it "production" with solid failure routes and backups. I am looking to move anything currently under Yunohost to docker/lxc and to start making use of podman. Recently saw CosmOS and think it might be a good alternative to portainer.

Hardware:

• Node 1: Lenovo m93p tiny with 16GB RAM and 250GB SSD - Proxmox
• Node 2: Lenovo m93p tiny with 16GB RAM and 250GB SSD - Proxmox
• Node 3: Gigabyte Brix with 16GB RAM and 500GB Sata SSD, 128GB m.2 SSD - Proxmox
• Node 4: Trigkey Green G3 with 16GB RAM and 1TB Sata SSD - Proxmox
• TPLink managed switch
• TerraMaster 2-bay NAS with 2x 2TB HD (NFS host for containers)
• Synology ds220j NAS with 2x 8TB HD (backup of home desktops, laptops, cell phones, and lab systems)

I'm actually not that into actual self-hosting (it feels too close to my day job). But i love the idea of it, and actually do host my own RSS Reader: It's selfoss (PHP + SQLite, so, very simple) and i have been using ever since google reader shut down. It runs on my uberspace.de instance.

36 TB server:

• Nextcloud (a little heavier than I'd like considering something that's just filesharing)
• Jellyfin
• Audiobookshelf
• Kavita
• Authentik
• N.eko with protection via authentik (rabbit clone so I can watch things with friends even if it's not on jellyfin)
• Homepage so I can remember everything -_-

Raspberry pi:

• Adguard home, which router pushes all traffic dns through
• Mopidy - hooked the pi to my speakers, can start playing via web interface. Don't love it, but it's working.

Got 2 24/7 runners in my home:

1. Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Server on a tiny Dell Optiplex 7000 server (Intel 12700T), strapped under my desk, hosting everything in docker:

• Plex
• *arrs, on top of a Gluetun container for privacy
• QBittorrent, to download big files, like ... eh ... linux distributions
• NginX Proxy Manager
• PhotoPrism (I subscribe, it's awesome, cannot recommend it enough)
• Portainer, as a management interface
• Wireguard VPN server, to enable me to get into my LAN and prevent having to expose anything to the public internet.
• Watchtower, for keeping things up to date.

2. A Synology 718+ with 10 TB in a a dual SHR RAID.

• PhotoPrism storage
• Plex media storage

In addition, I'm hosting a couple of Wireguard VPS in the US and a Nordic country to give me access to regional content (I pay for a few regional services through friends living there - i.e. they pay monthly and I pay them yearly for an account on a region-locked service) - not sure if that counts as "self-hosting" :)

Oh jeez... there's quite the list. I have a Ceph cluster of 3 nodes with 15x HDD's and 3 SSD's... on that cluster I run some VM's that in turn run a Docker swarm. All Ubuntu 22.04, all commodity hardware. Currently I'm running;

• Portainer to help manage this beast
• NGINX which proxies all my web facing services on multiple websites.
• Wordpress for my personal site which sync my Instagram pictures to it as well
• MariaDB Galera cluster
• Nextcloud for file sharing but also provides lots of plugin services like a password manager, email client and so on
• Photoprism for my photos... I use the Nextcloud client to automatically upload new pics from my phone to Nextcloud then Photoprism is attached to that same library
• OnlyOffice as a plugin to Nextcloud to allow O365-like functionality
• ElasticSearch plugged into Nextcloud for full-text searching
• OpenProject for project management in my own businesses
• Jellyfin and Plex both attached to the same media library
• E-Mail using Docker-Mailserver... so Postfix with a bunch of ancillary tools for 3 domains
• Droppy as a quick-and-dirty file repo for when I need to get files to people easily
• FreePBX (Asterisk) with 4 extensions around the house
• MeshCentral for managing my family's PC's and also doing remote tech support for family, friends and customers as necessary
• FOGProject for imaging PC's and VM's as necessary
• ReactiveResume
• Docker Registry set up as a caching proxy
• YoutubeDL-Material
• Karaoke Eternal for those nights when you just get drunk enough to karaoke

Then there's a whole host of ancillary services; BackupPC, Unifi controller container, piHole on a couple of Raspberry Pi's, ts-dnsserver for internal DNS management... probably a dozen other containers and tools I'm forgetting.

Oh yeah, and a Synology NAS as a backup target :)

I run:

• Matrix
• Mastodon
• Pixelfed

I host these:

• Vaultwarden(saves my life almost everyday)
• Jellyfin (makes my life fun)
• Sonarr & Radarr
• Home assistant(the best thing I've done in a while)
• freshRSS( none of that curated for you bullshit)
• Whoogle.(like google search but not the tracking)
• Flatnotes, Qbittorrent, Metube, Databag, Photoprism, kavita, NExtcloud, Guacomole(A few services I use rarely.)

Pretty much anything I can. Host OS is mostly Debian with Docker, only the Git Server is running on Alpine. Hardware-wise everything is running on Proxmox with an FreeBSD NAS for backup and data storing

• Logging/Monitoring Stack (Grafana, Loki, Prometheus, InfluxDB)
• Step-CA for custom internal CA
• Firefly III as budgeting tool
• Kimai for work-time tracking
• Vikunja for Project Management
• Keycloak as OIDC server
• Grocy for inventory management
• Bookstack as personal Wiki
• The lemmy instance i'm posting from
• Mastodon
• Nextcloud with Collabora Office
• Bitwarden as Password Manager
• Miniflux for RSS Feeds
• Some websites
• Gitea
• Wireguard
• Jellyfin
• Metube
• Mail server running docker-mailserver (only as fallback due to sending problems to Microsoft)
• Uptime-Kuma
• Home-Assistant

Jellyfin for media
Miniflux RSS reader
Home assistant
Pihole
OpenMediaVault for NAS
Kavita for ebooks
Portainer
NginxProxyManager

It's all kind of a mess, but I like it

PiHole on Pi
Tiny Tiny RSS on Docker behind NGINX reverse proxy on Ubuntu Hosted VPS - Accessed through Tailscale
LinkAce on Docker NGINX reverse proxy on Ubuntu Hosted VPS, Accessed through Tailscale
NextCloud on Pi - Accessed through Tailscale
HomeAssistant on Ubuntu
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

At home:

• HomeAssistant OS in a Raspberry PI. Runs all the lights, curtains, heating, air-conditioning and media at home. (Linux)
• Hifiberry with a good DAC connected to it, runs mpv, airplay and chromecast audio. (RPI, Linux)
• TrueNAS together with over 40 terabytes of space (FreeBSD)
• Plex and Plexamp for music (FreeBSD)
• OPNsense router runs the whole home network (FreeBSD)
• A private git server for stuff I don't want to push to a public server (FreeBSD)
• Jellyfin server for movies and television (FreeBSD), client on an NVIDIA Shield (Android)
• Unifi controller to handle the home WiFi (FreeBSD)

Remote:

• Akkoma for Twitter-like communication on the Fediverse (Linux)
• Lemmy to talk with y'all in here (Linux)
• PostgreSQL as the central database for all my remote services (Linux)
• Elasticsearch for searching the Fediverse (Linux)
• SearXNG as my private search engine (Linux)

I have a dedicated server where I run multiple service with podman.

• Funkwhale (we share musics with a friend)
• Mobilizon
• Lemmy
• Pleroma

All those instance are close for inscriptions they are just for me or friends. I use posftix to relay mail. I have on postgresql instance shared across the services. I use traefik for ssl, I wanted traefik to auto discover the container but it didn't work when I tried maybe it works now.

Feels like literally everything...

LXC:
NginxProxyManager
Kasm
Several instances of GameServer
openemr (testing for viability for a client)
3 instances of TechnitiumDNS
Nextcloud
Graylog
UptimeKuma
ChangeDetection
Zwave-js
MeshCentral
Homepage
Canvas (yes a full instance of canvas. I used to be a college instructor, I have a copy of all my courses)
InvoiceNinja
Matrix
Lemmy
UnifiController
Gameyfin (I don't like this that much... it'll likely get killed)

6 instances of generic docker on LXC running portainer for other services:
diagrams.net (specifically tied into my nextcloud instance)
ghostfolio
it-tools
librespeed
libretranslate
quakejs
rickroll
rxresume
searxng
Ascii starwars
wxrdle
gramps.js

And a watchtower instance on each.

VMs:
Proxmox Backup Server
Mailcow
Librenms
freepbx
HomeAssistant
Windows Domain Server (no GUI)
"Media Server" which is a plex stack with all the *arr fixings.
And a vpn bound qbitorrent instance.

Edit:

I missed an old VM that I'm in the process of deprecating out to lxc... Docker01:
Archivebox
Ghost
Bookstack
LibreCaptcha
Wordpress (for a client)
parsedmarc
gitea
grocy
YOURLS
minecraft
opennox
vaultwarden
racktables
tubearchivist

I run an I2P instance and I'm starting to look at Plex. I wonder if those can be combined.

• Plesk (web stack) - almalinux 8
• Work VM - Windows LTSC
• arrstack - Docker
• Ghost - Docker
• Convos - Docker
• Unraid
• ESXi with vSphere

I'm sure I'm forgetting a few things, but that's mostly what I host here at home. My lemmy instance is on DigitalOcean.

A Groovy bot replacement for me and my friends.

Minecraft server

Too many things:

And more, but those are what I use the most.

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.

This is my little setup at work

  • nginx ingress controller (automatically sets up nginx vhosts for Kubernetes apps)
  • cert-manager (gets SSL certificates from Let's Encrypt for any apps that need them)
  • MetalLB (finds and provides an IP for Kubernetes services)
  • rook (storage provisioner--I have a few partitions & drives dedicated for rook to provide storage to the apps on the cluster)
• Apps:

• Portainer (Manages the docker containers running on the server)
• Adminer (Manages the mysql databases running in the background)

My lemmy instance :)

I used to self-host email with email and postfix, but I gave up with the amount of spam coming my way and moved to Proton

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.

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.

I'm selfhosting a Terraria server, with a medium size world

Lots. I have 2 proxmox hypervisors and 3 Raspberry Pi's; my OS of choice for servers is Ubuntu Server or Raspbian.

• ISC-DHCP-Server (DHCP)
• Bind9 (DNS)
• Pihole (pihole upstreams to bind9) (More DNS with ad and content blocking)
• OpenLDAP (Directory)
• Jellyfin (Media)
• Nextcloud (General google drive replacement)
• Vaultwarden (password Vault)
• Asterisk (Phone)
• EasyRSA Certificate Authority (Certificates)
• Minecraft (Gaming!)
• HomeAssistant (Home Automation)
• Octoprint (3D Printing)
• Shinobi (Security Cameras)
• Multiple Apache Websites (Web)
• Exim4 mail relay (Mail)

Experimental:

• Photoprism (Photo Sharing)
• tt-rss (RSS Reader)-

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

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.

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.

My main machine is running Linux Mint on a Ryzen 2700x, 32gb ram, 80TB of raw storage and a vega 64 GPU.

Running:

• Home Assistant
• Emby Server
• Photoprism
• Piwigo
• The usual NZB suite
• FTP Server for uploading cellphone pictures automatically at night time

• tinyRSS
• paperlessNGX
• homeassistent
• navidrome
• spamassassin

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.

I'm running truenas scale as hypervisor (migrated from proxmox to try to save electricity costs)

• Opnsense as Firewall
• Ansible (debian)for Patching and infrastructure management
• zabbix (debian) for monitoring
• plex (debian) media server
• Omada controller (access points) (ubuntu)
• homeassistant (hass OVA) for home automation
• nginx (debian) as reverse proxy

Paperless NGX on a Raspberry 4. No more paper documents at home... Everything that still comes by mail is instantly scanned and shredded. Emails are also scanned and attachments are added automatically, if important.

I host the following in my house:

• Nextcloud
• ManicTime (tho this isn't FOSS, but I'm a contractor consultant and love how this works) -Calibre Library/Calibre Web for books -all the *arr's w/ Plex -BaiKal for caldav to manage mine and my mom's life -vikunja for task management -grocy for home erp -bookstack for various notes

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

All are running ubuntu server

I'm a bit late to the party, here is my stack:

• Dell T310 with Xeon E3 (can't remember the particular ref), 12 gig of RAM, 2 TB single drive (because some failed and died but that's fine)
• Services:
  • A few discord bots in Docker
  • Vaultwarden for storing passwords
  • Duplicati to make backups regularly (sent to an externe drive every so often)
  • Ampache for listening to my music (a subsonic client and server)
  • Plex for media, I'm too lazy to switch to jellyfin because it works as it is
  • Netdata to have a real-time dashboard of pretty everything that my server is doing

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.

Gitea
Backups via rsync
Jellyfin
Piped for YouTube

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

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

Anyone else using n8n?

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.

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.

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

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

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

• 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 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

• 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.
