Thinking of self-hosting some basic tools; SearxNG, Bitwarden, Lemmy.

What kind of tools are you self-hosting right now? Which ones are easy to manage, which ones are awkward? 👀

      If you share your Plex library with friends and family like I do, highly recommend looking into Overseerr! I had tried using OMBI before but it was a pain to get set up–actually I never succeeded and gave up. Overseerr was very simple, just another Docker container like so many others, really. Integration with Radarr and Sonarr was seamless for me.

        thanks. I think I tried it some time ago but we end up never using it. we only watch it at home and my mother’s and she just text me when she wants something.

    1. Home Assistant OS (in a VM)

      • MariaDB
      • Matter Server
      • Mosquitto Broker
      • Z-Wave JS
    2. AdGuard home

    3. SWAG (Ngnix proxy)

    4. Emby

    5. Airsonic Advanced

    6. Komga

    7. Immich

    8. FreshRSS

    9. Owncloud

    10. Organizr

    11. Duplicati

    12. Portainer

    13. Virtmanager
      The “arr” family

      • Gluetun (routes all the below containers through my VPN)
      • Readarr (print)
      • Readarr (audio)
      • LazyLibrarian (magazines)
      • Mylar3
      • Sonarr
      • Lidarr
      • Radarr
      • Prowlarr
      • Flaresolverr
      • SABnzbd
      • qBittorrent

    There’s a few other support containers for the above items like redis and postgres. This is all done on Ubuntu Server. But I’m slowly prepping to switch over to Unraid as I prefer the storage management on that. For me file storage and redundancy is a huge part of why I run all this.

    Not as much as I probably should be! I have a nice little Proxmox cluster, backed by a UPS and a beefy NAS, but mostly I use it for fussing around with stuff, playing with instances, nothing really mission critical.

    I believe I’m at 42 Docker containers now, lol. Some of the notable ones:

    • Plex
    • Vaultwarden
    • Home Assistant (plus Node-RED, zwave JS, and mqtt)
    • NPM
    • Pihole
    • All the “arr” stuff
    • Nextcloud
    • Portainer
    • FreshRSS

    There is a lot of support stuff too like MariaDB and orbital-sync.

    I’m going to be working on Lemmy when I get back from vacation but I leave in like 2 hours so that’s going to have to wait, lol.

    By in large, the docker makes it stupid easy for the vast majority of my containers and portainer makes it even easier since you can manage everything through a web UI.

      Chad.

      NextCloud and Pihole are definitely being added to my list. Does self-hosting NextDNS seem worthwhile to you? 👀

        I don’t know that it’s really necessary to use both nextdns and pihole. You may look at a couple of comparisons and decide what’s best for you. I just use pihole (two of them actually, one in docker and one on an actual pi).

      Can home assistant be used without the ad-ons (I want to learn some smart home stuff, but do not want the overhead of a vm)

        Yes it can, though it is easier to set some things up with the built-in addons. Most addons can be set up independently as docker containers (like z2mqtt or node-red) but may require additional configuration.

    • Nextcloud. Not too complex but I feel like it’s getting heavier month by month and I’m scared of having it turn into full-fledged bloatware. It already has an autoplaying video in the about screen so the slope is getting ever so much slippier…
    • Forgejo, swapped from Gitea just a while ago. They’re more or less identical but I have stronger trust in Codeberg
    • Nitter
    • Some half-assed nginx build with nginx-http-flv so I can stream stuff between friends. It works OK but it feels like there’s newer better options, I just haven’t cared to look into it
    • Weird half-assed email setup that does conform to all funky modern bells and whistles somehow despite being an unholy mixture of Postfix, rspamd, Dovecot and Maddy. I’m scared to touch any part of it. Not used for anything too overly serious
    • Headless qBittorrent but I don’t think I’ve actually used it in years

    Not much so far, just getting into the self hosting:

    • Home Assistant (plus zwavejs)
    • Grafana
    • Prometheus / net data
    • Pihole
    • Portainer

    Will probably be setting up syncthing soon.

    I’ve got a Synology NAS running Home Assistant and basic NAS stuff (mostly backing up NextCloud).

    I’ve got a Linode (might move if I get less lazy) running NextCloud, and a setup for a Minecraft server I haven’t run for years. That NextCloud server replaced BTSync/Syncthing and TTRSS servers, and also now does my password syncing via KeePass, and contacts through webdav.

    I run everything off a Synology NAS using Docker, except for Plex which runs directly so I can take full advantage of hardware transcoding.

    • Portainer
    • Radarr
    • Sonarr
    • NZBGet
    • NZBHydra
    • Overseerr
    • Jellyfin
    • Nextcloud (only using this for GPodder sync right now)

    I also have a separate mini-computer for Home Assistant. That runs on HA Blue, which was the limited run predecessor to Home Assistant Yellow. May seem silly to have separate hardware, but I was tired of my whole system going offline every time I needed to reboot HA (which means possibly interrupting a family or friend watching a remote Plex stream, the horror!)

    Not a ton of stuff, but I’m currently looking at some more, thanks to this thread.

    At home:

    • Open Media Vault on an RPi 4, with some containers, namely:
      • qBittorrent
      • PhotoPrism (not especially functional, more a proof-of-concept)
      • mariadb
    • PiHole on an RPi 3
    • Volumio on RPi3s + DAC (x2)

    On a Singapore-based VPS:

    haven’t been hosting super much yet, but it’s definitely growing slowly:

    • 12TB QNAP NAS
    • Plex
    • Nextcloud
    • Sonarr
    • QBittorrent

    The NAS is only really used for file storage and does no processing at all, everything else runs on a small Intel nuc. Outside of established services, I also host my own small services on the same nuc, but it’s basically only a website and a file-uploading service to use with ShareX

    I get my hosting for free from my workplace, which is cool but doesn’t give me much leeway on what I can install. It’s a plain PHP/MySQL system. Docker is out, and a lot of stuff with it. I’d run a server from apartment if I could, since I’m sitting on piles of old hardware, but I’ve yet to figure a way around my ever-changing IP address.

    Right now, I have FreshRSS and my own websites, and Rss Bridge

    I’d love to run more “Old School Tools”, I just need to find them :)

      I haven’t played with it yet, and I know some people don’t like Cloudflare, but a Cloudflare tunnel to your apartment infra might just do what you want.
