    Hardware:

    • hp EliteDesk 800 G4 SFF
    • i5-8500
    • 32 GB RAM
    • 250 ssd boot disk
    • 1TB nvme
    • 2 x 4 TB SSD

    I run most of my services via Docker but also in their own LXCs on Proxmox:

    • adguard
    • borg-backup
    • caddy
    • forgejo
    • filebrowser-quantum
    • rackpeek
    • opencloud, Baikal, obsidian-live sync
    • immich
    • paperless
    • vikunja
    • navidrome, octo-fiesta
    • karakeep
    • proxmox-backup-server

    Next thing I want to set up would be arcane and maybe ansible, audio-bookshelf, and someday some monitoring.

    I access my services only via NetBird when I am out and about.

    The biggest flaw in my setup as for now is that I only have one device that’s a single point of failure. Since I have remote backups that’s okayish atm. In the future I would try to get ahold of more hardware and separate things out. For someone who just wanted to try things out a little I got my self kind of deep into it haha Performance vice its enough for me as a single user

    Also: If anyone has any suggestions what I could do with my Oracle free tier VPS, besides running a Minecraft server, I would be happy to hear ideas :)

      Umami analytics looks exactly like what I was looking for. Thanks! ntfy looks very useful as well.

    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.

        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.

    Main Server - 37 Containers, 4 VMs

    • Media: Plex, Audiobookshelf, along with everything for a complete *arr stack
    • Network: Cloudflared, NginxProxyManager, Tailscale, Gluetun (for *arrs)
    • Other: Authelia, OpenVSCode, Filebrowser, SFTPGo, Bitcoin Node to support the network
    • VMs: Parrot, Windows 11 for local and remote gaming, Windows 3.11 (because why not), currently spun up myNode to see if I want to explore hosting a Bitcoin Ligtning Node

    Smarthome Server - OptiPlex 3050

    • Containers: mqtt, NodeRed, zigbee2mqtt, homebridge, tailscale, pihole (paired with my phone usually)
    • VM: HomeAssistant

    Testing Server - OptiPlex 7060
    Lately been testing and making stuff using linuxserver/docker-baseimage-kasmvnc.

    • Arduino-IDE running in a container - with USB hotswap.
    • Featherwallet and Electrumwallet (I use a HW-Wallet for HODL).
    • Lutris, got it working with Hearthstone, but didn’t really have a use for it.
    • Nomachine in kasmvnc, to (somewhat) smoothly access my VMs through the webbrowser when I just need something fast.
      Linuxserver Firefox.

    XMR Mining Server - Old tired HP SFF
    Basicly everything from this guide by seth for privacy; monerod, p2pool, tor, watchtower, and a python-webserver to expose metrics/api.

    I had a small X.25 network as combination coffee-table and space-heater at one point; this was before most homes had internet. It almost cost me a divorce.

      Great way to start! My first server was an “old” 2010 server I left at home when I went to college 😄

    Hello

    Let’s have a look at the inventory

    • RPI 4B

      • OpenHab (Openhabian actually, so some additional services like Zigbee2MQTT or Grafana)

    • HP EliteDesk 800 G2 i5-6500T, 8GiB RAM - this one is currently the mainstay of my lab, running containers with docker-compose

      • Nginx as reverse proxy (+ fail2ban, letsencrypt)
      • Paperless-ngx (+ Redis, Tika, Gotenberg)
      • Jellyfin
      • Minecraft server (+ Mapcrafter)
      • ddclient
      • Heimdall

    • Dell OptiPlex 7060 Micro i7-8700T 32GiB RAM

      • I’ve gotten this one fairly recently. A real bargain - costed as much as the CPU alone and was in pristine condition. I will be migrating the workload from EliteDesk to this one. I decided to try ProxMox this time though, so I need to learn a bit first. Also perhaps add a second SSD

    My Self-Hosting Journey

    I began my self-hosting journey in 2021 with the goal of hosting a game server for friends so they would not need to pay for external hosting. Through onsite IT work, I acquired several 6th and 8th generation i7 systems from companies that were downsizing or upgrading. After adding inexpensive NVMe storage and APC battery backups, the environment grew quickly.

    What started as a single server eventually expanded to three dedicated game servers running 27/4, supporting up to 270 concurrent players at peak. These servers have been up for almost 4 years now.

    Internet Connection

    • ISP: Optimum Fiber (1 Gbps / 1 Gbps symmetrical) – $65/month
    • ISP router configured in bridge mode if I return it they take away a discount.

    Network Infrastructure

    • Router: UDM Pro
    • Switch: USW 16-Port PoE
    • Access Point: AC Pro

    Infrastructure Services

    DNS Server

    • Raspberry Pi 4 (4 GB RAM)
    • DietPi OS
    • Running Pi-hole for DNS filtering

    Game Server Infrastructure

    All game servers are connected to APC battery backups and maintain approximately 99% uptime, with downtime only occurring during scheduled maintenance. A custom watchdog script automatically restarts servers if a crash occurs.

    • Game Server 1

      • i7 6th Gen
      • 24 GB RAM
      • 500 GB NVMe storage
      • Windows Server 2019

    • Game Server 2

      • i7 8th Gen
      • 32 GB RAM
      • 500 GB NVMe storage
      • Windows Server 2019

    • Game Server 3

      • i7 8th Gen
      • 28 GB RAM
      • 500 GB NVMe storage
      • Windows Server 2019

    Virtualization / Homelab

    Proxmox Server

    • i7 12th Gen
    • 40 GB RAM
    • 1 TB NVMe storage
    • External USB Media Drive – 22 TB (with backup)

    Current Services

    • Jellyfin – Replacing all commercial streaming services (currently LAN only, working on secure remote access)

    Planned Additions

    • NGINX – Reverse proxy for secure external access
    • Apache Guacamole – Replace RemotePC for remote access
    • Tailscale – Replace Surfshark for private networking
    • Vaultwarden – Replace RoboForm for password management

    If you think there are better options please let me know so I can do my research!

    I have vaultwarden, navidrome, uptime kuma (on a vps, because it doesn’t make sense to host it on my pi, because if it goes down, I’m not gonna know), pihole (though it’s not currently working with Mullvad), dokuwiki, freshrss, searxng, ntfy, and tugtainer (replacement for watchtower since that’s now abandoned).

    I’m new to self-hosting world, for starting I subscribed to a VPS with 240GB of storage with Debian installed on so I could run my Yunohost server

    I’m trying it out mostly for streaming music with Navidrome and run Fresh RSS. Also I use RSS Bridge so I can stay updated with some Instagram accounts

    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

      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!

      • Anarch157a@lemmy.worldEnglish

        No CDN. The secret is way simpler: It’s a static site. Just a bunch of files served directly by Nginx. I use Pelican to generate the site from Markdown files.

    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.
