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.

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.

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 :)

I have a used Lenovo Thinkcentre mini with an i3-7100T and 16gb RAM. I have Ubuntu server LTS installed on it and I run everything in docker containers.

I host:

• jellyfin server for my friends and family
• qbittorrent to download for the JF server(behind a VPN)
• Jellyseerr for requests
• Jackett, Sonarr, and Radarr for downloads
• a Minecraft server

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

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

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

• Tiny Tiny RSS: 13 year old php version (webhosting) 😆
• Home Assistant (NUC DN2820FYK) Not much, but it’s a start 😜

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

Small Datacenter…

Hardware: 3x Dell R630’s, 256G (in 2) 512G (in 1) (Proxmox, Vmware ESX, NutanixCE) 1x Dell R730XD, 240TB, 256G-Ram (Truenas) 1x Dell R730XD, 50TB, 128GB Ram (Proxmox Backup Server)

In truenas containers I’m running my entire *Arr stack, cloudflare, Paperless, Ollama, Immich, etc.

In Proxmox I’m running a few Linux VM’s (mail gateway, Desktop VM’s for work, etc). VMWare and Nutanix are disposable hypervisors I use for deployment testing for work stuff.

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.
