Hello everyone! Mods here 😊
Tell us, what services do you selfhost? Extra points for selfhosted hardware infrastructure.
Feel free to take it as a chance to present yourself to the community!

Very impressive. I gotta ask, how is this feasible cost-wise? Mostly as in licensing for vshpere. I know you can get pretty far in windows server with evaluation keys, butI run an ESXi server on eval mode cuz I’m cheap and have to reset the license every 90 days with some commands and reboot 😅
What is the scale of your network, like is this all just in your house?
Ok, you’ve got me curious - Why 3 different active directory domain controllers?
Just for redundancy! One DC VM per physical vSphere host. Each DC also handles internal DNS records for my network.
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 will go first 😌
I selfhost codimd, vaultwarden, kuma, immich, home assistant, trilium, hugo, gotify, wakapi and umami. I have one VPS and one custom built NAS at home.
I read you 👀🦎
Hugo? As in your generated site or you have some sort of service that costs hugo that generates and deploys your site or something else?
I have a used Lenovo Thinkcentre mini with an i3-7100T and 16gb RAM. I have Ubuntu server LTS installed on it and I run everything in docker containers.
I host:
- jellyfin server for my friends and family
- qbittorrent to download for the JF server(behind a VPN)
- Jellyseerr for requests
- Jackett, Sonarr, and Radarr for downloads
- a Minecraft server
I cover most of what services I’m running in my own post looking for assistance recently.
- website
- dns
- adblocking
- home assistent
- home gallery
- eve-ng
- check_mk
- nagios
- git
- ansible
- backuppc
- zoneminder
- unifi controller
- central syslog
- syslog2irc
- kodi
- 3x moodeaudio
I might be the only person self hosting a gopher server. Its running on a Raspi 4 on my home network, using Flask Gopher.
Aww man I remember those well. Is this for nostalgia or do you regularly use it?
I have a number of useful services on it, including stock quotes, many news sources, some games. Its been a labor of love.
Host all the things!
Wordpress, SMTP/IMAP, tor, bittorrent, Nextcloud, Plex, NTP, photo galleries, DoT…
I even started hosting the website for my local Italian restaurant and they haven’t even realised it yet.
That’s pretty aweseom. The day I discovered I could host my own websites was eye opening. lol
Wait, what? How are hosting someone else’s website?
OK, here’s how it happened.
I was hungry, and I wanted to see the menu for my local pizza joint. I couldn’t find it anywhere.
I discovered that all their socials linked to a website that wouldn’t load. When I checked, the domain had lapsed.
Out of frustration, I purchased the domain and pulled the last snapshot of their website off archive.org. It had their full menu as a PDF.
6 months later and it’s still getting visitors from their facebook page, who are viewing the menu. They haven’t even realised.
That’s dedication. lol
I strive to be this level of…
Whatever this is
Hahah yeah whatever that is
That’s funny. Imagine how confused they’ll be when/if they find out.
What a hero!
deleted by creator
Are you still hosting it? Have they realised?
The owners closed the restaurant and started a new one so I let the domain lapse.
Well… Start hosting a website for their new restaurant! 😁
😆
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!
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 CPU: Info: 6-core model: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T bits: 64 type: MCP cache: L2: 3 MiB Graphics: Device-1: NVIDIA GP107 [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti] driver: nvidia v: 535.98docker 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!
