Title. Proxy managers and dashboards for me. The first one because “I’m not working on NASA lmao” and the second one, “It’s not minimal enough”.

So many things !

  • torrent tracker (to serve what?)
  • IRC server (I’m alone!)
  • Matrix server (ok, I tried this one… But I’m alone)
  • An SSO server (definitely overkill)
  • CI/CD system with vmd(1) (even more overkill!)
  • A package repository for binaries I build
  • A distributed package building system

The list goes on and grows everyday haha

  • Irc server - …you can create your own bot net!
  • sso - single set of credentials for all your apps it’s pretty nice, especially if you have even one more user
  • package repository - also useful for caching yum/apt/docker repos for a bunch of vms to use

To be fair I do have an IRC server, but it’s just to goof around with the protocol.

SSO is nice I’m theory, but I’m the only user and I don’t have much authenticated services.

And package repo, I wanted to build one for my own package manager, but I don’t use it much in the end.

I always want to self host my own search engine, but alas, I’m not a billionaire.

SearXNG might be worth a look

This. Install nginx proxy manager and it’s so incredibly easy to get started.

Proxy, Authentique (or what’s it called - Authentication on all stuff) and Dashy. In both cases it’s like: I want easy self hosted at home, I’m not at work. Tbh, I don’t even care for Passwords in my home net. If anyone is already inside my net, I either trust them or if not, things have gone wrong very much and that’s probably my last concern. I also don’t expose anything to the outside…Zero Tier ftw.

my dude thanks for your statement, but you’ve reposted it like 5 times. could you delete the dupes?

I’ve seen this happening a lot, so I would assume there are some issues federating comments.

There are - especially from lemmy.world as it seems.

Nothing is really too much.

I have too much hardware to swap out to go 10G networking or I totally would.

The point of my homelab is for me to learn and break stuff in a safe environment, so if that leads me down a Kubernetes rabbit hole at some point so be it.

Email. I want a local email server where I can move old emails off the internet for archiving.

But the number of components going into email servers made me stop… I already have caddy reverse proxy, but finding out how to use it for a email server… I didn’t even get properly started

If you need it for this, and only this, the setup is actually very simple, you just need an IMAP server like dovecot https://github.com/nodiscc/xsrv/tree/master/roles/mail_dovecot

Tailscale completely negated and desire I’ve ever had to run any kind of proxy or VPN. The setup tool all of 30 seconds to make an account, and then like 15-20 seconds per client. I set it up once several months ago and I completely forgot about it…it’s just quietly working in the background, completely transparent to me.

I only rolled my own Wireguard VPN because I wanted to learn how things worked on the backend - I’ve suggested Tailscale to many other people, its just a really well designed product.

It’s astonishing to me how much they’re giving away for free.
