A simple question to this community, what are you self-hosting? It’s probably fun to hear from each-other what services we are running.

Please mention at least the service (e.g. e-mail) and the software (e.g. postfix). Extra bonus points for also mentioning the OS and/or hardware (e.g. Linux Distribution, raspberry pi, etc) you are running on.

        It’s an older Panasonic ToughBook CF-C2 with an ExpressCard34 slot I’d say circa 2013. I have a gigabit Ethernet adapter jammed in there for WAN. I’ve been using the setup for maybe 8 years and it’s been ultra reliable for me.

        I’m not sure what kind of link would be best, but sure. It’s a Dell PowerConnect-5524. Picked it up from eBay I believe maybe 6 or 7 years ago. Not a particularly great switch, but it was cheap, had plenty of expansion, and some management capabilities. Consumes more power than I’d like though (~20-25w), and doesn’t have some of the advanced capabilities of some newer switches.

        For power consumption, yes. I prefer to use power efficient devices. The big standout in my lab is the NAS and Dell switch. The NAS is running very little, but still idles at ~100-110w so I’m looking at lowering that usage with a motherboard / processor swap in the future. It’s using a server board and xenon processor which aren’t really built for power efficiency. Swapping this to a recent consumer-grade board with an i3 would likely address this, but depending on chipset I’ll probably loose ECC ram compatibility. I’d like to swap the switch to a more modern microtik 10g unit I think, with a large dumb swich; but I haven’t settled on the idea for sure.

      I’m not sure the list is really that big of a deal for a home gamer. They’re probably more in danger from their choice of home audio appliances and that microwave that has been sitting on their network for 10 years which no longer gets updates. Or that 2019 Plex server they have put forwarded straight outside.

      It’s actually one of my beefs with containers, You can’t keep track of The versions for everything and you’re at the mercy of the maintainers to keep individual packages updated.

          I’ll have to disagree with you there. SSH is super well maintained and understood, and massively useful for the risk you do run. Who knows what’s going on with all the random projects people are hosting. I’d rather have SSH exposed than almost anything else.

          What would you do to provide access to some less tech savvy friends. I’m thinking of dropping a SBC with wireguard and a proxy onto a friend’s network, that way everything is under my control, and I can lock down the wireguard connection however I want, but I haven’t gone down that route yet.

            I was thinking more along the lines of simply thowing up a port to SSH into. No Fail2Ban and no keys, just a password.

            I would just containerize and reverse proxy, but I understand the hesitation, wireguard would be preferable.

        It was meant more as a joke than criticizing hosting your own services. I personally have a VPN with MFA, and services that I host for my self that are segmented to a paranoid level (home camera system on own vlan, restricted from being able to reach any other vlan or the Internet, etc) with a deny all and explicit allows on per host and traffic type. The amount of work that went into building the network is probably overkill, and it is still susceptible to nation state and supply chain compromise but hopefully whoever gets in will curse me if they try to move around the network.

        Realistically, every added service and host is added attack surface and chances for misconfiguration \ supply chain attack, but being alive is a risk too…

        I’m guessing system admins and dev op is over represented here so some of our home networks may be targeted as a path into a corporate environment, but I’m guessing the chances are low. Sadly even the most secure networks are not an impossible target. The attackers are well ahead of defenders of networks. Attackers need exceptions, while defenders need everything perfect. Much harder to accomplish.

            For best practice, my personal recommendation would be to not have any service public facing besides a VPN that requires MFA. segment self hosted services into separate VLANs based on how sensitive the content is. Disallow all traffic between VLANs unless required and only allow based on port number, specific resources needed. Don’t forgot to disable outgoing Internet access unless required. Devices like Chinese made video cameras should never have an Internet connection.

            My network looks something like: home vlan, work vlan, Netflix \ hulu streaming devices, cctv, wireless work, wireless home, wireless guest, iot, servers, network management. Would be way overkill for vast majority of people, but I would be hypocritical not to considering what I do and I do have a different threat profile than most.

            Another thought: self hosted through VPN with MFA and nothing public facing is probably safer than cloud as long as you have cold backups.

    This assortment is run under a combination of Proxmox LXC containers, docker containers, and Yunohost. Mostly I use it to play around, but most are heavily used by my wife and I. I’m planning to rebuild everything and making things more “official”. Looking to convert from a “lab” to actually making it “production” with solid failure routes and backups. I am looking to move anything currently under Yunohost to docker/lxc and to start making use of podman. Recently saw CosmOS and think it might be a good alternative to portainer.

    Hardware:

    • Node 1: Lenovo m93p tiny with 16GB RAM and 250GB SSD - Proxmox
    • Node 2: Lenovo m93p tiny with 16GB RAM and 250GB SSD - Proxmox
    • Node 3: Gigabyte Brix with 16GB RAM and 500GB Sata SSD, 128GB m.2 SSD - Proxmox
    • Node 4: Trigkey Green G3 with 16GB RAM and 1TB Sata SSD - Proxmox

    Oh jeez… there’s quite the list. I have a Ceph cluster of 3 nodes with 15x HDD’s and 3 SSD’s… on that cluster I run some VM’s that in turn run a Docker swarm. All Ubuntu 22.04, all commodity hardware. Currently I’m running;

    • NGINX which proxies all my web facing services on multiple websites.
    • Wordpress for my personal site which sync my Instagram pictures to it as well
    • MariaDB Galera cluster
    • Nextcloud for file sharing but also provides lots of plugin services like a password manager, email client and so on
    • Photoprism for my photos… I use the Nextcloud client to automatically upload new pics from my phone to Nextcloud then Photoprism is attached to that same library
    • OnlyOffice as a plugin to Nextcloud to allow O365-like functionality
    • ElasticSearch plugged into Nextcloud for full-text searching
    • OpenProject for project management in my own businesses
    • Jellyfin and Plex both attached to the same media library
    • E-Mail using Docker-Mailserver… so Postfix with a bunch of ancillary tools for 3 domains
    • Droppy as a quick-and-dirty file repo for when I need to get files to people easily
    • FreePBX (Asterisk) with 4 extensions around the house
    • MeshCentral for managing my family’s PC’s and also doing remote tech support for family, friends and customers as necessary
    • FOGProject for imaging PC’s and VM’s as necessary
    • ReactiveResume
    • Docker Registry set up as a caching proxy
    • YoutubeDL-Material
    • Karaoke Eternal for those nights when you just get drunk enough to karaoke

    Then there’s a whole host of ancillary services; BackupPC, Unifi controller container, piHole on a couple of Raspberry Pi’s, ts-dnsserver for internal DNS management… probably a dozen other containers and tools I’m forgetting.

    Oh yeah, and a Synology NAS as a backup target :)

    I run everything in docker on Ubuntu 22.04 with the exception of Plex, which runs on bare metal on the same server. The server is a 16 core threadripper 1950, with 2 quadro gpu’s, m2000 and a p400, 128gb ram, mirrored ssd for system, platter HDD for media, CoralTPU pcie.

    I also run Home Assistant on a separate Lenovo MiniPC(forget which model), I did this so I can take down the server for various reasons without losing smart home stuff. Helps with the Partner Acceptance Factor.

    In no particular order the server runs:

    Calibre-web - Library management

    Sonarr - TV series downloads

    Radarr - Movie Downloads

    Lidarr - Music Downloads

    QbittorentVPN - Torrents over vpn, guarantees no leaks

    Jackett - tracker management and proxying

    Podgrab - downloads podcasts

    Frigate - NVR, camera recording with object detection

    DoubleTake - Facial recognition middleware, works between frigate/homeassistant and Compreface/Deepstack

    Octoprint - 3d printer spooler

    Tautulli - Plex statistics

    Portainer - Docker Management

    Ombi - Media request app, users can request shows/movies and they can be automatically added to sonarr/radarr

    MeTube - Webui for youtube-dl/dlp, useful for downloading Youtube videos for offline and ad free use

    • Jellyfin - film/tv, both locally and on a seedbox.
    • stable-diffusion-webui - self explanatory
    • Matrix/synapse - private instant messaging for myself and tech minded friends
    • MeTube - web UI for youtube-dl
    • Stash - like Jellyfin/Plex but for any adult media you may have (link is SFW).
    • Lemmy - only privately just seeing how it all works, I don’t intend to make a public instance.
    • A fairly typical LEMP (Ubuntu, Nginx, MariaDB, PHP) stack on my VPS

    Stuff I used to use or have at least tried out:

    • Plex
    • Calibre-web
    • Typical LAMP (CentOS, Apache, MySQL, PHP) stack back in the old days (PHP4/5) when I did a bit of web dev.
