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!
🦎
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:
Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
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.
Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.

I don’t selfhost very much compared to other people and my hardware’s pretty much either all literally found in the garbage or 2nd hand, but here it is
The system is mostly a NAS that I also run the occasinal general purpose VM off of, here are the specs for the 3 ppl that care:
CPU: AMD FX-8320E
RAM: 16GB
Storage: 5x2TB Seagate something something 7200RPM in RAIDz1, 128 GB random chinese SSD (mostly for VMs and apps) the, OS runs off of a flash drive
OS: TrueNAS scale
Starting to fall down the rabbit hole of self hosting,
Unraid, Plex & Pihole. Next project is Opnsense, then starting to look at Home Assistant.
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:
Been self hosting for over a decade at this point. Mix of custom built servers and surplus hardware over the years.
To name a few of my daily servers.
With docker being so easy I have kind of lost track how much stuff i am hosting. A problem i never thought i would have :)
If there is RAM to spare… one more selfhosted service can’t be bad hahaha
Plex+arrs etc Nextcloud Komga SWAG Photoprism HA
128TB.
My main hypervisor is proxmox which runs an unraid vm with the iGPU passed through to accelerate PLEX and disk controllers to manage the storage. I also have 2 Endeavour OS VMs, one that runs Thunderbird and Insync. Another that has a quadro p2000 passed through to tinker with. I also have a homeassistant vm and a proxmox CT running docker.
I’m working up to transitioning the dockers on unraid to a proxmox container but at the same time if it’s not broke why fix it.
I also want to mess with networking by putting in OPNsense or pfsense and routing some traffic through a vps.
I did this with a VPS pfsense instance linked to my local pfsense via site to site VPN, and haproxy for email to get a static IP. Worked very well.
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?
Have a PC in the basement acting as a server.
Hello
Let’s have a look at the inventory
RPI 4B
HP EliteDesk 800 G2 i5-6500T, 8GiB RAM - this one is currently the mainstay of my lab, running containers with docker-compose
Dell OptiPlex 7060 Micro i7-8700T 32GiB RAM
How does mapcrafter run for you now? I’m hosting a vanilla server and that’s exactly what I need to see our map. I’m just concerned that it doesn’t function properly now due to recent updates.
Thanks!
A Lack Rack with VMWare and TrueNAS servers, pfsense, Jellyfin, Zoneminder, web/email, Nextcloud, Minecraft, LineageOS build machine, …other stuff
Currently self-hosting on an old HP Z600 I bought second hand with the following specs:
For services, I’m currently running the following:
Docker
For public access dockers
For ubuntu, I’m running a few services and apps like:
Cloud Flare tunnel? If so, Could you point me in the direction of some resources for cloudflare tunnels! I always feel like i’m stumbling around in the dark when i’m trying to configure a cloudflare tunnel! :P
Hey, I don’t really have any resource, I also stumble and mess with it myself until I got the hang of it. I guess I can write a blogpost on how Cloudflare Tunnel actually works and how to configure it easily.
I’ll update you once I do.
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.
Just in case it’s helpful, here’s my docker-compose file for Wallabag behind traefik: https://pastebin.com/b2VEbxae
Also have a look at omnivore as a pocket alternative!
I’ve got a couple VPSes, hosting
Self hosting email is obnoxious, but it’s also one of the only remnants of the traditional distributed internet that’s still broadly accepted.
Have you tried FreshRSS for feeds ? I’m pretty happy with it.
Hi, could you detail how you utilise Asterisk?
Hi everyone! I’m a big fan of self hosting :)
I have a dedicated server in Hetzner
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:
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!
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.
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.
I strive to be this level of…
Whatever this is
Running Tipi on a five year old chrome box with tailscale as the VPN. Has been running great! Now I’m self hosting
Tipi is pretty awesome. If you haven’t already, check it out!
