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).

  6. No trolling.

I am finally making the push to self host everything I possibly can and leave as many cloud services as I can.

I have years of linux server admin experience so this is not a technical post, more of an attempt to get some crowd wisdom on a complex migration.

I have a plan and have identified services i would like to implement. Take it as given that the hardware I have can handle all this. But it is a lot so it won’t happen at once.

I would appreciate thoughts about the order in which to implement services. Install is only phase one, migration of existing data and shaking everything down to test stability is also time consuming. So any insights, especially on services that might present extra challenges when I start to add my own data, or dependencies I haven’t thought of.

The list order is not significant yet, but I would like to have an incremental plan. Those marked with * are already running and hosting my data locally with no issues.

Thanks in advance.

Base system

  • Proxmox VE 8.3
    • ZFS for a time-machine like backup to a local hdd
    • Docker VM with containers
      • Home Assistant *
      • Esphome *
      • Paperless-ngx *
      • Photo Prism
      • Firefly III
      • Jellyfin
      • Gitea
      • Authelia
      • Vaultwarden
      • Radicale
      • Prometheus
      • Grafana

You are correct that I will be using it only for internal authentication. I want to get away from my bad habit of reusing passwords on internal services to reduce pwnage if mr robot gets access ;)

Any experience on how authelia interacts with vaultwarden? They seem sympatico but should I install them in tandem? Would that make anything easier?

No, but Vaultwarden is the one thing I don't even try to connect to authentik so a breach of the auth password won't give away everything else
