Hey fellow self-hosters! I’m just starting but I’m now running my own instances of Jellyfin, Nextcloud, Readeck and Kitchen Owl. It’s really a great feeling to know the data is safe with me!

Very impressive. I gotta ask, how is this feasible cost-wise? Mostly as in licensing for vshpere. I know you can get pretty far in windows server with evaluation keys, butI run an ESXi server on eval mode cuz I’m cheap and have to reset the license every 90 days with some commands and reboot 😅
What is the scale of your network, like is this all just in your house?
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.
That’s a respectable list of apps. Looks almost like what I run sans the *arr stack. Good work!
I have been self hosting things for over 15 years. I now host on 7 computers. I’m proud of the fact that I stay under 100W idle, including 3 Omada WLAN APs and network technology (all via PoE and all is on a UPS). For most of the services i normally used the helper scripts. i’m currently in the process of moving everything to komodo. there should be an lxc for each service or service group, komodo pulls the compose files from gitea and deploys everything.

I joined to learn, still not self-hosting anything, but I intend to use an 11yo Compaq laptop (i5, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD) as a server while I’m still practicing. I intend to self-host a lemmy instance and a nextcloud server.
Thanks for everything you guys have been sharing I’ve already got some good leads, gonna try out YunoHost for starters
Got a proxmox node with a couple of vm’s, mostly for hosting docker.
I’m considering switching proxmox for kubevirt, but I’d have to deploy all my container as either k8s deployments or create new vm for docker…
Been using prometheus at work lately and I want to create a push setup with thanos backend, but for now it’s just an idea
I will go first 😌
I selfhost codimd, vaultwarden, kuma, immich, home assistant, trilium, hugo, gotify, wakapi and umami. I have one VPS and one custom built NAS at home.
I read you 👀🦎
Hugo? As in your generated site or you have some sort of service that costs hugo that generates and deploys your site or something else?
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.Hi there. My first post in this community.
I’m currently running:
- Pi-hole
- Plex Media Server
- Grafana
- Torrent server
- Monica
- Shaarli
- Matrix instance
- Arch package cache
- Several game servers such as Minecraft and Terraria
- VM running Volvo software to troubleshoot my cars.
My hardware: I used to run it all on a Supermicro x9drd-7ln4f-jbod with dual Xeon E5-2670 v2 with 16x16GB ECC ram and 6x 3TB disks in raidz2 for storage and 2x 60gb Intel SSDs for OS. I started with less and upgraded towards this configuration but it was consuming 300 watt idle which was just unacceptable.
So earlier this year I upgraded to an ASRock Rack x470D4U with Ryzen 7 5700x and 4x32GB ECC (non-registered) ram and 6x 2TB SSDs in raidz2. 1 ssd is in the nvme slot on the motherboard, 4 are in a 4x4 bifurcation card in the 16x slot and 1 more in a 4x riser. All PCIe lanes of the CPU are used. This setup is not possible with an AMD CPU with integrated GPU since it will take up 4 PCIe lanes (you can guess how I know). It uses about 20 watt idle without any containers and VMs running. I initially didn’t want to move away from Supermicro but the ASRock Rack motherboard has IPMI so I’m not missing out on much.
Hardware and software suggestions are welcome :D
