hi there, comrades! just curious, what do you all actually host for yourselves?

i currently run a two old PCs refurbished as Ubuntu servers and am looking at adding a Raspberry Pi 400 that i was gifted and don’t know what to do with. i have ideas though!

anyway, i’d love to hear what you’ve found useful, helpful, and/or fun to run. my own answer will be in the comments.

    • Openhab (smarthome controller)
    • Zigbee2mqtt (converts zigbee devices to talk mqtt)
    • Mosquitto (Mqtt server)
    • frigate
    • Jellyfin
    • Jellyseerr
    • Radarr, sonarr, lidarr, bazarr, prowlarr
    • transmission + a VPN tunnel
    • Uptime Kuma
    • Prometheus, Telegraf
    • Grafana
    • Influxdb, chronograf
    • Three PiHole instances, synced with Orbital Sync
    • Unifi Controller

    And some small services to pipe metrics into Grafana dashboards for apps that don’t have native support for metrics. Most of this is managed through Docker with a Traefik reverse proxy with letsencrypt certs for https.

    My most useful so far has to be openhab. I’m barely using it to it’s full potential but it’s so freeing to be able to buy (nearly) any smart device and know I can integrate it with the rest of my system. It also allows me to block Internet access to most of my smart devices completely for added privacy.

    Second most useful is probably the Jellyfin/*arr stack to manage and view my collection. Soon I’m planning on adding either Calibre or something similar for books to sort my ebooks and old digital textbooks.

    And once you have two or three services, monitoring obviously helps. I honestly wish I had set it up earlier, in particular Uptime Kuma for general uptime tracking. It would have saved me so much time pinging all my services to try to diagnose issues.

    Vaultwarden, forgejo and nextcloud. I tried matrix and email, but couldn’t get them to work, comrade.

    I actually use a real owned server, and host all kinds of my own stuff, along with

    Matrix (synapse + element web)

    Nextcloud

    Etherpad lite

    Gitea (have yet to switch to Forgejo)

    And gaming servers. AssaultCube was very successful, as it has incredibly low pings, it was full multiple times, and it was incredible fun.

    On an old raspberry pi 3b, a copy of a blog by one of my favorite writers (the original is long gone and was never archived, I happened to grab a copy with wget when it came back up briefly) so I can read it when I’m on my home network. And a pi hole dns adblocker.

    I’m hoping to set up some kind of media system for streaming eventually, but we currently use a PS4 as our media center and it doesn’t look like our options for compatibe apps are great.

    I’d definitely like to get a local Mealie instance going in the next year

    NixOS on an AMD mini itx board.

    • NGINX for reverse proxy
    • Jellyfin
    • Syncthing node
    • Homeassistant OS on a VM (QEMU/KVM)

    OpenWRT on a Raspberry Pi4

    i have two old PCs refurbished as Ubuntu servers running the latest LTS version.

    machine the first: - Taskwarrior - Taskserver - Docker and Docker Compose - local media and stuff on a 2TB NAS

    machine the second: - Docker and Docker compose - Jitsi Meet server - Rustdesk server

    coming soon: - PiHole - Unbound DNS - Plex (maybe) - Mealie (possibly with a dedicated ancient iPad that will live in the kitchen) - BirdNET-Pi

    also possibly a home weather station built out of a Raspberry Pi 4B that is on order; i love the idea of having one of these in my backyard to track our microclimate.

    Nextcloud, Synapse + bridges, Adguard Home, Uptime Kuma, Home Assistant. Thinking about spinning up Gitea, Forgejo or Gitlab again.

      GitLab is really nice, just needs like 6-8gb of ram, vs 1 for GitTea. Are you working with other folks, or is it just for personal stuff? I run a small GitTea server myself for super private stuff. The rest I just put on GH.

        At this stage I’ll probably just mirror my stuff from GH. I have a feeling they’ll be doing something stupid soon, forcing people to look for alternatives.

        Would be nice to collaborate with others, but getting started is hard when you don’t have enough free time.

        It seems Gitea has basic CI + package registries now, that will be plenty for my needs.

          Yeah, their runners are GH Actions compatible, which is great. I think GH is too smart these days to mess with devs. MS has too much skin in the cloud and OSS game these days to pull shit like they did in the 90s. Do wish they didn’t bork Windows 11 so bad, made me switch to Ubuntu. They don’t really care about desktop anymore TBH. Very happy Steam works great on Linux.
