  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).

A bunch (47 containers at present)... Won't list them here as its kind of redundant with what a lot of other people are running. My latest is Lemmy (lemmy.nine-hells.net).

Plex and a web app I wrote for a Twitch community I moderate.

Plex is on a server in the Netherlands and the web app is just AWS. I would've hosted on some spare hardware but my internet is notoriously trash and I didn't want to risk it going down while people are playing in the app.

Plex I might move onto a NAS at some point but I'm just too lazy lol.

I run a bunch of bots, some databases plus

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 1 year 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.

So... ODroid N2+ is hosting a Home Assistant. Nothing to add.

I have an old Intel Nuc nuc5cpyh that is currently hosting my WordPress blog at https://some-techy-tinkering.com/. Made it self-hosted a month ago and can't be happier.

The last machine is Intel Nuc nuc7i7bnh with 2 TBs of internal and 4.5 TBs of external drives. This is my main server with:

  • Nginx Proxy Manager
  • Nextcloud
  • Various *arr services
  • qBittorrent
  • Plex
[–] Audalin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 8 months 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.

[–] Oida@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I have a 800W solar panel and some home automatization at home. Therefor, I use MQTT & NodeRED.

  • Adguard
  • Authelia (authentication for my services)
  • Dashy (I've become lazy collecting my own bookmarks)
  • Gotify (receive notifications on my mobile from NodeRED)
  • Grafana
  • Influxdb
  • Jellyfin
  • Mariadb
  • Nextcloud
  • NodeRED
  • phpMyAdmin
  • Portainer
  • Remmina
  • sshwifty
  • Swag (Nginx and more)
  • ubooquity (ebooks)
  • Wallabag (Bookmark collection)
  • Wordpress (want to try)

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)

[–] Landrin201@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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.

  • Two NextCloud instances, one is a RPi4 with a big external HDD which I use for backups, the other one contains everything else, including PhoneTrack. Happy to have a self-hosted privacy-friendly way to share my location with family.
  • Email using mailcow.
  • Jabber server using prosody. Using it with immediate family and two friends. Still super happy.
  • Web server including personal blogs. Currently looking to migrate away from Wordpress into something static without comments.
  • pihole
  • Half-finished home automation stuff.

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

[–] perishthethought@lemm.ee 1 points 6 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. : )

[–] spyjoshx@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

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

Late to the party and after reading through some of these setups I may have to expand mine soon (it never ends does it?), here is what I have right now.

There are some other things floating around in my homelab that aren't really 'selfhosted' things, just important to the home network:

3 HP Microserver Gen8's

-x1 with ESXi hosting pfSense

-x2 with TrueNas Scale for backups

R610 with ESXi for a few remote desktops and Home Assistant (which I'm sure I'll move to docker at some point).

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

[–] WezXL@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

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

Wow, is Gopher still a thing?

[–] Nerrad@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Im1Random@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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

  • 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 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] Im1Random@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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 1 year 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 1 year 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.
