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.
Wallabag - Website article saver/bookmarker etc. If anyone has a better suggestion for FOSS bookmark management please let me know!
Mealie - Recipe manager (grabs recipes from a ton of different sites)
I use TrueNAS Scale for my NAS and Ubuntu server for my VM’s/home server. I probably am forgetting something, but, that’s what’s listed in my Portainer :).
I would go back if it was easy. The speed difference from just getting a listing of contents in a large directory over SMB is insane. It used to be instant and it takes like 10-15 seconds now. I’m not even using their app setup anymore, I gave up on it after a while because of a bunch of random issues with updates over time and switched to a dedicated box with Portainer installed. I really wish I could go back to core.
I’m sure they’ll iron everything out but BSD is still king at the moment.
That’s disappointing, thanks for the info. I had hoped with OpenZFS things would be improved, but sounds like native Linux performance just isn’t there yet.

Part of my Reddit exodus plan was to get serious about my RSS setup.
I’ve settled on:
FreshRSS as my feed manager (supported by Reeder app in iOS and MacOS)
FiveFilters Full Text extractor
rss-proxy site scraper
I may experiment with some replacements for rss-proxy, as I’ve run into a couple sites it doesn’t scrape well, but FreshRSS and FiveFilters have been smashing successes.
Nice, RSS is great indeed. I use it extensively as well, but I didn’t even realize it was a thing people ran as a service on a server. I hadn’t heard of FreshRSS etc. I personally just run newsboat from my desktop/laptop, even my phone if need be.
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
TPLink managed switch
TerraMaster 2-bay NAS with 2x 2TB HD (NFS host for containers)
Synology ds220j NAS with 2x 8TB HD (backup of home desktops, laptops, cell phones, and lab systems)
No, just a hobby. Been playing around for about a year. It started small with an old mac mini and Yunohost. Then I decided to play with Proxmox and bought a used m93p. Then I read about Proxmox clusters, so I got another m93p. I was going to use the mac mini in the cluster, but it was getting too slow, so I bought the Brix. Then I decided to migrate the Yunohost setup over to a VM in Proxmox. Then I figured I should learn a bit about docker. And it spiraled.
I spend maybe 10-12 hours a month on installation and configuration. I spend way more time using it. A couple of weeks ago I spent about 15 hours over the weekend importing/uploading my audiobooks into AudioBookShelf. Last year I spent several weekends getting my Calibre library in shape and moving it to the web.
I figure this is a much cheaper and safer hobby than drinking.
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Server on a tiny Dell Optiplex 7000 server (Intel 12700T), strapped under my desk, hosting everything in docker:
Plex
*arrs, on top of a Gluetun container for privacy
QBittorrent, to download big files, like … eh … linux distributions
NginX Proxy Manager
PhotoPrism (I subscribe, it’s awesome, cannot recommend it enough)
Portainer, as a management interface
Wireguard VPN server, to enable me to get into my LAN and prevent having to expose anything to the public internet.
Watchtower, for keeping things up to date.
A Synology 718+ with 10 TB in a a dual SHR RAID.
PhotoPrism storage
Plex media storage
In addition, I’m hosting a couple of Wireguard VPS in the US and a Nordic country to give me access to regional content (I pay for a few regional services through friends living there - i.e. they pay monthly and I pay them yearly for an account on a region-locked service) - not sure if that counts as “self-hosting” :)
UNDECIDED (may swap for alternatives or just remove) Organizr - Homepage Jump - Homepage Homepage - Yup, another homepage! Linkding - Bookmarks Shiori - Pocket replacement Etebase - CalDAV & CardDAV Whoogle - Google without the crap Photoprism - Photo management Libreddit (not being used now!) QBittorrent - for Linux ISOs Uptime-Kuma (for when I do open a few services to family) Ryot (beta) “Roll Your Own Tracker” - Media Tracker
PLANNING TO ADD
Reverse-proxying (likely NPM) + Security (Fail2Ban, Autheilia?)
Audiobooks
Comic book management
Translation service
Document manager
Home Assistant on its own Pi4 when I can get hold of one
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;
Portainer to help manage this beast
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.
I’ve got 3 “servers” at the moment running lots of fun services.
Dell Optiplex Tower
Sevarr Suite
Audiobookshelf
Calibre/Calibre-Web
Nextcloud
FreshRSS
Paperless
Linkding
Dillinger

I also run Plex off of my Desktop, but I plan to build a new server soon to replace the Optiplex that I can migrate it to. I’m also going to be integrating Authentik. Everything is managed using Yacht and running on Ubuntu, then proxied through Cloudflare or tunnelled through Tailscale.
Home Automation and IoT with HomeAssistant in a virtual box.
Database for storing some IoT history (not hooked up to Home Assistant yet but recording from MQTT) with MariaDB.
Media Server with Emby.
Photograph Backups with Immich; just playing with this for now. Constantly have problems running it to do with not connecting to Redis or PostGres :/
MQTT Server with Mosquitto for some custom IoT devices.
VPN with WireGuard.
File Syncronization with Syncthing; to/from phone and other computers.
Torrenting with Deluge and Deluge Web.

How has Scale been on Linux vs BSD? Any complaints or plug-in compatibility issues?

Do you host on at your house, a VPS or something else?
All on Hetzner.

I respect the enterprise-level IT operation you run for your family lol
What’s it like hosting your own mail? Been considering it for a while but Gmail features/spam filter/deliverability has been tough to beat.
I’ve got 3 “servers” at the moment running lots of fun services.
