Ohh, I'd love to share.

Running most services as docker/ kubernetes containers.

Currently running Plex (previously Jellyfin, maybe will switch back) for media streaming.

Grocy for food/task/family organisation (grocery list and so forth)

Piehole for home ad-blocker and proxy 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

I use a combination of a MacMini Oracle cloud, probably not best long term solution but it's free (while it lasts).

Stuff that runs on Oracle:

• caddy proxy (mostly used for Mac reverse proxy)
• couch db (obsidian live sync plugin)

Stuff on Mac:

• blue bubbles (iMessage relay for Android)
• Plex (for photo backup)

Aside from that not much else 😊

Starting to fall down the rabbit hole of self hosting,

Unraid, Plex & Pihole. Next project is Opnsense, then starting to look at Home Assistant.

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

Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I've seen in this thread:

Hey all, I've been slowly building services on my server over many many years, starting with running a minecraft ftb server, to where I am now, which is 1 primary system(providing the network filesystem) and 2 auxiliary minipc systems my brother in law recently donated. I moved from Docker to Docker Swarm after getting those MiniPC's and enjoying the added compute. Currently my swarm is running:

• PiHole x2 - AdBlocking and Local DNS Management
• Wg-easy - for Wireguard VPN Management
• nginx - for reverse proxy servicing
• authentik - for Authentication and SSO
• Duplicati - for cloud backups(pointing at backblaze buckets)
• Guacamole - for RDP services
• Grafana+Prometheus+Node-Exporter+Cadvisor+AlertManager - for aggregation and system monitoring
• Gatus - single pane of glass monitoring of services(might remove it now that I've started using Grafana)
• diun - monitoring docker image versions and notification
• Bookstack - Personal Knowledge Base system
• Linkwarden - Collaborative Link Sharing and archiving
• Fasten Health - Local Health Records Storage
• SnipeIT - personal asset management
• Affine - self hosted cloud notebook
• Actual - Budgeting Software
• it-tools - for swiss army knife utilities
• kitchenowl - recipes and grocery lists
• Reactive resume - for resume building with AI empowered editing
• Onetimesecret - for burn after reading secret sharing(using it for distributing credentials to my family)
• Searxng - Local Search Aggregation
• Homarr - Personal Dashboarding
• Home Assistant - Smart Home Management
• N8n - Automating codeless workflows
• Ollama and Open-WebUI - personal Agentic AI
• AudioBookshelf - Audiobook streaming and Management
• OwnCloud - local file sharing and storage
• Plex - Video Streaming
• BitMagnet - DHT network sniffer
• syncthing - for transporting data between local and remote systems
• the *Arrs - for acquiring content
• Docspell - for digitizing and storing important documents
• picsur - for local meme storage
• Calibre+Calibre-web - for Ebook management
• Crafty Controller - for Minecraft Server Management
• RomM - For Emulation and ROM Management.

As I go about my day I'm always looking for new and interesting containers to run, and then scrutinizing if they fill a need, replace an existing service with a better version of the same service, or if it's better off not implementing, then I pull them down. this has been a great experience in devops learning and the longer I work on the server the more best practices I put in place and the more I understand why corporate clouds have some of the practices they have. I look forward to poking around in this community looking to help and to find new containers to accrete into my platform.

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)
  • 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

I selfhost a lot of the normal stuff everyone else does. Plex, AdguardHome, etc...

I also have a 96+ port dial-up server system: https://2600.network

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
• Jellyfin
• Watchtower
• 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.

I got

• A RAID NAS for general
• A Firefly-iii instance for expense analysis and stuff
• And MQTT broker for my ESP32 projects
• A webdav server for calendar and address book syncing and general file syncing for some things like joplin

There are probably other things that I don't remember right now.

In terms of hardware I got a 6 core AMD 5600X machine with a 5700XT GPU and 16GB of ram for almost all my services and personal use.

I also have an AMD 3600 machine with 3x8TB harddrives for network storage.
