A simple question to this community, what are you self-hosting? It’s probably fun to hear from each-other what services we are running.
Please mention at least the service (e.g. e-mail) and the software (e.g. postfix). Extra bonus points for also mentioning the OS and/or hardware (e.g. Linux Distribution, raspberry pi, etc) you are running on.
My long and mostly complete list:
- Audiobookshelf (GH)
- Using for audiobooks. Ebooks, comics, and podcast support in early stages.
- Authelia (GH)
- Using for two-factor authentication in front of all of my services. Critical infrastructure.
- Bazarr (GH)
- Using for automated subtitle management. Have not needed to rely on it much.
- Code-Server (GH)
- Using for a plethora of things. I could write an entire post on this alone.
- Courier
- Using (occasionally) for package-tracking from various carriers.
- EmulatorJS
- Using for retro-emulation.
- Gitea (GH) x2
- Using as a git repo server, package repository, and for CI/CD automation. Is critical infrastructure in my lab. Could also write an entire post on this one.
- Headscale with Headscale-UI. Tailscale clients on various VMs LXCs, etc.
- Using to securely network with my remote servers.
- Homepage
- Using as a “single-pane-of-glass” to get an overview of service health with links to the various services.
- Invidious
- Using in-place of YouTube.
- IT-Tools (GH)
- Using for the myriad of various useful tools it offers.
- Jellyfin (GH)
- My media player of choice. Using for movies and television, but supports music, ebooks, and photos in addition.
- Kopia Server (GH)
- Using for data backups to my Minio instance on local NAS and Wasabi. Simple, fast, and reliable.
- Librespeed (GH)
- Using for the occasional speedtest to my remote servers.
- Matrix stack using Conduit back end and Element-Web front end
- Federated Discord essentially. Using as a private instance for friends and family.
- Minio
- Using primarily as a gateway to storing backups, also serves git-lfs for Gitea.
- N8N (GH)
- Using for home-automation, backing up my Reddit saved posts to a database, deal-alerts, and part of a CI/CD pipeline.
- NTFY (GH)
- Using for infrastructure notifications mostly. Very simple and versatile alerting solution.
- NZBGet
- Using for getting “usenet articles”.
- Paperless-NGX
- Using for document archival. Important receipts, documentation, letters, etc. live here.
- Portainer (GH) with multiple agents on VM’s LXCs and VPSs
- High level management of my various docker containers.
- Prowlarr
- Using to provide torznab API to websites that dont natively have it. Integrates with Radarr and Sonarr
- Radarr (GH)
- Using for movie management.
- Radicale
- Using for contacts and calendar server.
- Raneto (GH)
- Using as a knowledge base. Lab documentation, lists, recipes, lots of things live here. Using with with code-server and Gitea.
- Readarr (GH)
- Using for book management
- Recyclarr (GH)
- Using for Radar and Sonarr to sync search terms for their automations. Very useful, hard to summarize.
- Requestrr
- Using (very rarely) as a requests bot for Radarr and Sonarr.
- SFTP-Go
- Using mostly in-place of Nextcloud. Used to back up phones mostly.
- Shaarli (GH)
- Using as a read-it-later service. Went through lots of these, and Shaarli has been good enough.
- Singlefile-Archive
- A hacky way of presenting pages saved with the singlefile browser extension. Not exactly happy with the solution, but for my ocasional use it does work.
- Sonarr (GH)
- Using as TV series manager
- Speedtest-Tracker (GH)
- Using to get periodic speedtests. Plan to automate results to blast my ISP if my service speed gets too low.
- Traefik (GH) on each seperate host
- Using as a web proxy in front of my various services. Critical infrastructure.
- Transmission (GH)
- Using to get “Linux ISOs”
- Uptime Kuma (GH)
- Using to monitor site and services status along with a few others. Integrated with NTFY for alerts.
- Vaultwarden
- Using as my password manager. Have been using for years, cannot recommend enough.
- A handful of static websites served with NGINX
- The old standby, its been reliable as a webserver.
These services are the result of years of development and administrating my lab and while there is still some cruft, it’s mostly services that I think have real utility.
As far as hardware:
-
Running pfsense on a toughbook laptop as a router-firewall.
-
A SuperMicro 24 bay disk-shelf with Proxmox and ZFS for NAS duties and a couple services.
-
Lenovo Tiny boxes with a Proxmox cluster for the majority of my local services.
-
Dell managed switch
-
A few Raspberry-pi’s with Raspbian for various things.
-
Linksys AP for wifi
Edit: Spelling is hard.
Did you get a dual nic in the laptop router, or how did you work it?

As an offensive security worker… I can’t help but read people listing out their attack surface 😂

- Plex and Jellyfin for movies and TV shows. I want to switch from Plex to Jellyfin but it is not quite there yet. It‘s very little effort to keep Jellyfin running in parallel though. I am keeping it around to regularly compare the two and re-evaluate.
- Tube Archivist for archiving and watching YouTube videos.
- Miniflux for reading feeds.
- Nextcloud, mainly for calendars and contacts; occasionally for sharing files with others.
- Syncthing for syncing files.
- Financier for budgeting.
- Paperless-ngx for managing documents.
- Qbittorrent for downloading and sharing Linux ISOs.
- Prowlarr for searching Linux ISOs.
- Copyparty for sharing Linux ISOs with friends.
- Shaarli for saving bookmarks.
- Jekyll for statically generating my personal blog.
- Caddy as HTTP server / reverse proxy for all of the above. Automatically provisions certificates from Let‘s Encrypt.
- PostgreSQL as database for Nextcloud and Miniflux.
- Simple Nixos Mailserver for emails with Postfix, Dovecot and rspamd.
- Dehydrated for getting certificates from Let‘s Encrypt for the mail server.
- Btrbk and Restic for backups.
Most of this stuff runs on my server at home (ASRock J4105-ITX, 8 GB RAM , 250 GB SSD, 18 TB HDD). The mail server and the blog run on a cheap VPS (1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 20 GB SSD). Both servers run NixOS.
