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).

Running xen hypervisor (Debian 12) on a HP Elitedesk 805 Gen6 (currently 10 VMs) at home, a few VPS from different hosting providers too.

[–] Landrin201@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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.

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)

[–] Anarch157a@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hello selfhosters.

Here's my list of stuff:

On a VPS hosted in Germany:

On my home server (my old gaming PC, repurposed)

  • Proxmox to manage several containers/VMs:
    • OPNsense Firewall
    • HomeAssistant
    • Pihole
    • Gitlab
    • Jellyfin
[–] MigratingtoLemmy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hi, thanks for your comment! I just visited your blog and noticed that it loads fairly quickly: I assume you must have some sort of CDN set up. Could you point me to how you went about setting up the CDN for your domain/website? Thanks!

  • Lemmy (you're looking at it)
  • Mastodon (3 instances)
  • Calckey oh sorry, now FireFish
  • Pixelfed
  • Misskey
  • Writefreely

[–] beigegull@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I've got a couple VPSes, hosting

  • Mailcow, because email is identity.
  • Asterisk, because phone #s are also identity.
  • Matrix-Synapse, for personal messaging even though XMPP is probably better.
  • ttrss, even though it's junk software with a jerk developer.
  • A bunch of self-developed web apps

Self hosting email is obnoxious, but it's also one of the only remnants of the traditional distributed internet that's still broadly accepted.

[–] Anarch157a@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Have you tried FreshRSS for feeds ? I'm pretty happy with it.

I just got going on matrix and I wish there were better XMPP iOS apps. Chat services without friends don’t work and bad iOS apps keeps people away. After all this time there isn’t a good adoption of XMPP for iOS except iMessage I guess.

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

Hi, could you detail how you utilise Asterisk?

[–] Vilian@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

i don't self-host yet, but i have an old pc in my house, i just need to bring it with me to colege, so i can learn and start self-hosting

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?

[–] Ascrod@midwest.social 1 points 1 year 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 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] perishthethought@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I know it's been 2 months but I just stumbled upon your question.

Here's what my massive home server looks like. : )

Hi

I started self hosting 3 years ago when I got wind of tailscale. I've always cared about privacy and building things so that was great.

My infrastructure consists of two machines.

One - my personal and work server A deskmini i3 12th gen

256GB Boot drive 4TB NVME data drive

-photoprism -syncthing -nextcloud -Firefox+VPN -archivebox

Two - my media server that I let 6ish other people access - PC tower i3 12th gen

512GB Boot and docker config file drive 4*4TB HDD mergerfs for raw data

-jellyfin -*arr suite -gluetun VPN -audiobookshelf (also for auto downloading podcasts) -calibre-web

I have a few things going on. I've been blogging some of my notes on how I'm getting some things going in Docker. But I only relatively recently started sharing my notes so there's not a ton yet. Hopefully there's something useful for someone here. https://magnus919.com/tags/selfhosting/

I just started months ago, but I have a yunohost server ona raspberry with nextcloud and forgejo on it :)

[–] Hyunta@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 month 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!

[–] lapping147@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks 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

[–] rs5th@lemmy.scottlabs.io 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

What are the benefits of Kubernetes in a home server?

[–] learningduck@programming.dev 0 points 2 years ago

I'm hosting Trillium Note for my personal note taking.

[–] Nerrad@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Cyber@feddit.uk 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wow, is Gopher still a thing?

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

Sure is. There is now Flask Gopher for building gopher sites in Python.

[–] spyjoshx@discuss.tchncs.de 0 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Im1Random@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I host:

  • docker-mailserver
  • code-server
  • Vaultwarden
  • Flame Dashboard
  • FreePad
  • Gotify
  • Nextcloud
  • Baikal
  • Mosquitto
  • HomeAssistant
  • Node-RED
  • InfluxDB
  • Grafana
  • piHole, Cloudflare DNS over HTTPS client
  • Uptime Kuma
  • Nginx Proxy Manager
  • wg-easy
  • Shiori
  • MeTube
  • Sonarr, Radarr, Jackett, Unpackerr,...
  • qBittorrent, Gluetun
  • Jellyfin
  • Watchtower
  • Honeygain, Pawns App, Peer2Profit, Traffmonetizer
  • 4 Websites via Nginx
  • a few services that I wrote myself

I think that should be it. I left out some less important ones and probably forgot a few that I don't use that often. All these services are spread across 2 servers at home and a small VPS mainly used for the mailserver and Uptime Kuma.

[–] athes@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Honeygain etc.... First time I hear about them. Do you mind sharing how much you get?

[–] Im1Random@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

It really depends on the type of IP you have and your location, but it's really not much for me. From Honeygain I get like 20 bucks every 6 months and when paying out the money around 4$ get lost by transaction fees, but better than nothing and those services use so few resources, you don't even notice them running in the background.

[–] hadek@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

you might want to check honeygain's network calls, because I had it running and then suddenly noticed my IP got banned on quite a few websites.

Turns out it was my honeygain traffic that caused it, I quickly uninstalled it after that.

[–] Im1Random@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Which websites are you referring to? I never noticed any problems from the sites I use. Only when I encounter any kind of captcha I always have to manually select images and it will never solve itself like some did in the past. But not sure if thats due to me not being logged in with Google in my main browser or if it's caused by Honeygain.
