Hello everyone! Mods here 😊
Tell us, what services do you selfhost? Extra points for selfhosted hardware infrastructure.
Feel free to take it as a chance to present yourself to the community!

- Tiny Tiny RSS: 13 year old php version (webhosting) 😆
- Home Assistant (NUC DN2820FYK) Not much, but it’s a start 😜
Welcome to the club my dude! Pleasure to meet your acquaintance.
Hey, I’m new here - but not new to self-hosting :-)
Self-hosting started for me via hosting a few services on my NAS - and then it escalated a bit…
At home:
- 2 Proxmox hosts (Miniforum MS-01 & GEEKOM XT12 Pro), services running mostly as Docker stacks in LXC containers, deployed via Komodo
- (several) Synology NAS (DS918+, DS1520+, DX517, RS2423+) for storage and backups
- UniFi network hardware (UDM Pro, USW Aggregation, USW Pro 48 PoE, U6-Lite APs) with a couple of VLANs. 10 GbE where possible.
- Technitium as DNS (recently replaced my old setup with AdGuard Home)
- Authentik for SSO in front of almost everything
- Nginx Proxy Manager as reverse proxy, Uptime Kuma to monitor stuff, Homepage as dashboard
- The actual fun stuff: Immich, Home Assistant, Paperless-NGX, Mealie, Bar Assistant, Stirling-PDF, Forgejo, Dawarich, LubeLogger, Umami, PBS, Grafana, AFFiNE, Actual, lifeGLANCE, Grocy, Rallly, Rackula, SnapOtter, Wallos, Homebox, RomM, Excalidraw my media stack… the list keeps growing, as I’m sure you all know.
Outside:
- a small server at a German hoster for the real public-facing stuff (WordPress blogs etc.). I just recently revived my old blog, started blogging again and - old school - created a personal website :-D
More about me can be found there. Also my new blog posts are and will be mostly about self-hosting topics after a longer blogging hiatus of about 15 years. Yes, I know, blogs aren’t exactly in fashion anymore :-)
Looking forward to discussions & fresh ideas from the community!

I’m trying to find something to create Portuguese subtitles for my kids animes, there are a lot of pt_br and I use those when avaliable but there is a lot animes that I can’t find any and I really prefer that they watch in pt_pt ( yes, I’m nagging them to get better in English but read while watching is tricky for them yet)
Dude! Welcome to the club. That’s quite a respectable stack you have there. Join in the discussions, learn, teach, help. It’s all good.
Thank you

I have an Asus NUC 12th gen with 32gb of ram and 1 TB of storage atm. I plan on expanding it with a DAS then run with that for a very long while until I can get a nice rack to play with and do some sys admin stuff down the line.
But ATM I got an arrstack going for Movies, TV, and Music. Alongside that I have Stalwart for mail, Immich for photo backup/gallery, Vaultwarden for password and auth manager, and opencloud for cloud storage.
Welcome. Nice to meet you!

I want to setup opencloud. . .nextcloud are getting too bloated
Main one I use right now is a media center running FreeBSD and XFCE, and KDE Connect for remote-like functionality.
I just play files with mpv manually, but might write a front-end for it one day.

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.
Wait, what? How are hosting someone else’s website?
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.
Hello selfhosters.
Here’s my list of stuff:
On a VPS hosted in Germany:
- Nextcloud
- Mailcow for my own domain
- A blog (https://www.ninjazumbi.com/)
- Wallabag
- FreshRSS
- WireGuard VPN
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!
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.
What was super fast indeed!
i don’t self-host yet, but i have an old pc in my house, i just need to bring it with me to colege, so i can learn and start self-hosting
Set it up at home, open port 22 for SSH and configure some dynamic DNS service to auto update your IP to point at the IP of your home. No need to bring it with you!
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
How does mapcrafter run for you now? I’m hosting a vanilla server and that’s exactly what I need to see our map. I’m just concerned that it doesn’t function properly now due to recent updates.
Thanks!
