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.

  • Plex and Jellyfin for movies and TV shows. I want to switch from Plex to Jellyfin but it is not quite there yet. It‘s very little effort to keep Jellyfin running in parallel though. I am keeping it around to regularly compare the two and re-evaluate.
  • Tube Archivist for archiving and watching YouTube videos.
  • Miniflux for reading feeds.
  • Nextcloud, mainly for calendars and contacts; occasionally for sharing files with others.
  • Syncthing for syncing files.
  • Financier for budgeting.
  • Paperless-ngx for managing documents.
  • Qbittorrent for downloading and sharing Linux ISOs.
  • Prowlarr for searching Linux ISOs.
  • Copyparty for sharing Linux ISOs with friends.
  • Shaarli for saving bookmarks.
  • Jekyll for statically generating my personal blog.
  • Caddy as HTTP server / reverse proxy for all of the above. Automatically provisions certificates from Let‘s Encrypt.
  • PostgreSQL as database for Nextcloud and Miniflux.
  • Simple Nixos Mailserver for emails with Postfix, Dovecot and rspamd.
  • Dehydrated for getting certificates from Let‘s Encrypt for the mail server.
  • Btrbk and Restic for backups.

Most of this stuff runs on my server at home (ASRock J4105-ITX, 8 GB RAM , 250 GB SSD, 18 TB HDD). The mail server and the blog run on a cheap VPS (1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 20 GB SSD). Both servers run NixOS.

Quick question: have you thought about hosting Radicale and filebrowser instead of NextCloud? I think that would be definetly lighter on your system.

Also: I have read lots of mixed opinions whether mailservers should be selfhosted - what is your take on this? Do you know about problems reaching the big player mailservers?
