Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (donβt cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I run one main hypervisor with a bunch of different Ubuntu server VMs that I spin up as I mess with different things. I'm old-school so I am not a fan of cloud computing or even docker. Services I host that I use the most are NAS (samba), plex, pi-hole, dokuwiki (huge documentation nerd), and zoneminder which is a great open-source security cam software.
Raspberry 4 No.1 (HassOS)
- Home Assistant - smart home management
- HA extension Vaultwarden
Raspberry 4 No.2 (Ubuntu LTS)
- Pi-Hole - network ad filter
- Navidrome - music library
- Beets - music tagging
- Lidarr/Deluge/Hydra/Jackett - music collection, downloading
- Baikal - CalDAV & CardDAV
- Nginx - Reverse-proxy
- Filebrowser
- Vaultwarden - Backup of HA extension
- Raneto - Knowledge base
- Pyload - Download manager
Fileserver custom built (Ubuntu LTS, local only):
- Sonarr - Series management
- PostgreSQL - Data management for Kodi/MPD
- Snapserver
- Mopidy
Raspberry 4 No.3 (Raspian, local only)
- Kodi
All services dockerized but Kodi.
I host a nextcloud sever (snap) and a minecraft server on a laptop I no longer use
Thank you for all for sharing π€© I still havent determine if I'm going self hosting at home or with a VPS, but I discovered cool projects!
VPS (Ubuntu on 4 virtual cores, 10GB ram, 100GB NVME)
- Mediawiki with semantic mediawiki and various plug-ins and 650 pages
- Orthantic and OHIF (radiology images)
- Moodle (docker)
Cloud container provider (different to above VPS provider)
- 3 x mediawiki sites
Homelab (Unraid on i7 4790, 16gb RAM, 3 x 10TB HDD, 4TB external disk, no cache disk yet, RTX 3070, fractal define 7 mid tower)
- Plex
- Komga (comics)
- Audiobookshelf
- Kavita and Calibre (books)
- Photoview (family photos)
- Filebrowser (work)
- Cloudflared (zero trust tunnels)
- Heimdall (dashboard)
- Krusader
- Plugins: docker compose manager, docker patch, unassigned devices
Have ordered an N100 mini PC from aliexpress with plans of installing OPNsense and running a couple VMs on it.
My gaming computer for interest, not currently hosting anything: 5800X3D, 7900XTX, 32GB ram, 2TB NVME, 2TB SSD, 4TB HDD, fractal meshify midbtower case.
I also have a Pi 4 and a Pi 3 that I don't have any use for currently. Open to ideas. I already run Adguard on phone and Ublock origin on desktop browser, and don't see any current use for Pihole.
Two "servers"
Pi4-8gb; 1TB SSD:
External-facing
- Pi-hole
- home assistant
- web server
- Calibre
- Simple games like Minecraft
Dual Xeon; 96Gb Ram; 50TB; bound NICs:
Internal, mostly
- media: Jellyfin, -arrs
- Sabnzbd
- Steam games server (these are external containers)
- Looking to add cloud files access; just haven't decided what and how, yet
I've been working on expanding my homelab recently. I have a physical box at home serving as an LXC host along with a few VPSes. I'm now up to:
- Some static web sites
- Nextcloud
- Jellyfin
- Forgejo
- NTFY
- A reverse proxy
- An IRC server
- A Gemini server
- A VPN
- DNS servers
I think I read an old blog post once that said "Servers tend to multiply like rabbits" and it's 100% true.
Hi
I started self hosting 3 years ago when I got wind of tailscale. I've always cared about privacy and building things so that was great.
My infrastructure consists of two machines.
One - my personal and work server A deskmini i3 12th gen
256GB Boot drive 4TB NVME data drive
-photoprism -syncthing -nextcloud -Firefox+VPN -archivebox
Two - my media server that I let 6ish other people access - PC tower i3 12th gen
512GB Boot and docker config file drive 4*4TB HDD mergerfs for raw data
-jellyfin -*arr suite -gluetun VPN -audiobookshelf (also for auto downloading podcasts) -calibre-web

Hello :)
I'm not really a "selfhoster" but I thought I'd present myself anyway since you asked :D
I do a little bit of it but only for personal use, I don't have the skills to selfhost for public use.
I have Gitea, Planka, Dokuwiki, Apache+MariaDB, and self-compiled World of Warcraft server emulators (TrinityCore, CMangos and AzerothCore).

Running xen hypervisor (Debian 12) on a HP Elitedesk 805 Gen6 (currently 10 VMs) at home, a few VPS from different hosting providers too.
