currently, I selfhost https://beyondcombustion.net and now https://lemmy.beyondcombustion.net for /r/vaporents and hopefully others. There's other stuff I self host too, this is the fun new stuff though.

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.

Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

I'm glad to see vaporents coming here. Is this an official migration or enthusiastic former redditors?
As official as it gets lol.
I'm one of the mods, have a stickied post on this with a link at the end. Just haven't made a separate official post about it yet.
BeyondCombustion.net has been our wiki, formerly at github.io, for the last few years.
Decided to point that domain at some dell R720xd/R730xd boxes I picked up and setup a whole new entry into the fediverse, along with a number of other things for our users.
That's great having you here. I'll stick around, and maybe post something to the community soon with my modest setup to have a little talk :)

I run everything I can out of containers. It makes remembering all the changes I made easy, and reverting them even easier. My hardware is a generic PC in my closet.
I'm running:
- Jelly Fin
- Transmission Torrent
- Next Cloud (I have mounted Jellyfin and Torrent's volumes within the Next Cloud instance so I can access them from there, very convenient)
- Home Assistant
- Wire Guard
- A printer daemon so my old printer from 2008 can do wifi printing (I refuse to upgrade)
- A scanner daemon so I can wifi scan too (scanservjs)
- A tool to expose my UPS as a battery Home Assistant can monitor
- Traefik (big pain but great payoff)
- Watch Tower to keep the public facing stuff automatically updated
- Automatic Ripping Machine which... is almost good but I'm generally disappointed with. It's still worth using though.
- ESPHome which lets me make my own smart home devices with ESP family microcontrollers. I've made my own smart window blinds and smartified an air conditioner.
- Minecraft/Factorio depending on the mood of my friends and I.
But that's not all, I also installed OpenWRT on my router, more out of necessity because it didn't have features my ISP required. That's running:
- ... actually everything else about it is pretty standard.
I have a Raspberry Pi running OctoPrint for a 3D printer in the corner. I would have preferred to have ran that on my server to save on power and save a Raspberry Pi but I don't have a long enough USB cable.
I run one main hypervisor with a bunch of different Ubuntu server VMs that I spin up as I mess with different things. I'm old-school so I am not a fan of cloud computing or even docker. Services I host that I use the most are NAS (samba), plex, pi-hole, dokuwiki (huge documentation nerd), and zoneminder which is a great open-source security cam software.
Since I haven't seen it commented yet, I host a kiwix backup of stackoverflow and it has already saved me a couple times during outages.
This is interesting! I will be checking this out! Thank you for sharing!

I self-host in a rented server. I wrote about my adventures here: https://github.com/bruj0/ProxmoxIPv6
I used to host a ton of stuff, now I just host my WordPress site on Linode.
I have toyed with the idea of selfhosting a Lemmy server, but that's a project for another day.
I host a nextcloud sever (snap) and a minecraft server on a laptop I no longer use
Hi, I have an Unraid server (currently offline due to moving :'-/ ) running
VMs:
- 2 full flat Windows and Pop_OS! VMs with GPU passed through
- 2 low resource Windows and Pop_OS! VMs accessible by VNC
- Home assistant OS
Docker containers:
- Calibre + Calibre-web: apart from managing my ebook library, calibre goes through my RSS feed and generates daily epub newspaper/magazines that are send by Syncthing to my eink tablet
- Syncthing: apart from that it also synchronizes my handwritten notes from my eink tablet between my devices
- Nextcloud: intended to replace Google/Microsoft cloud, but, due to previous apartment's internet connection with PIA triple-ish NAT situation, is only used to backup photo/video from my phone (might change later)
- EMBY: media streaming
- Gitea: WIP, not currently used
- dokuwiki: WIP, intended to acumulate manuals to home appliances and stramlined directions on how to use and maintain them
- influxDB and Grafana: values and graphs from Home Assistant
The server was born when I merged my desktop PC, that was off and not utilized most of the time anyway, and my off the shelf NAS with 4 drives in raid5, that was slow, loud and could only run built-in garbage services. I ran Emby on Windows on my desktop, meaning I would have to manully turn it on every time I wanted to watch something.
Now my server runs on Ryzen 5 1600 with 48GB of RAM, GTX 1060 salvaged from a minig rig and total of 7 drives - 4 HDDs, 2 Sata SSD mirrored for cache and containers and 1 NVME SSD for VMs.
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

I've been working on expanding my homelab recently. I have a physical box at home serving as an LXC host along with a few VPSes. I'm now up to:
- Some static web sites
- Nextcloud
- Jellyfin
- Forgejo
- NTFY
- A reverse proxy
- An IRC server
- A Gemini server
- A VPN
- DNS servers
I think I read an old blog post once that said "Servers tend to multiply like rabbits" and it's 100% true.
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 π
