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.
As an offensive security worker… I can’t help but read people listing out their attack surface 😂
My long and mostly complete list:
- Audiobookshelf (GH)
- Using for audiobooks. Ebooks, comics, and podcast support in early stages.
- Authelia (GH)
- Using for two-factor authentication in front of all of my services. Critical infrastructure.
- Bazarr (GH)
- Using for automated subtitle management. Have not needed to rely on it much.
- Code-Server (GH)
- Using for a plethora of things. I could write an entire post on this alone.
- Courier
- Using (occasionally) for package-tracking from various carriers.
- EmulatorJS
- Using for retro-emulation.
- Gitea (GH) x2
- Using as a git repo server, package repository, and for CI/CD automation. Is critical infrastructure in my lab. Could also write an entire post on this one.
- Headscale with Headscale-UI. Tailscale clients on various VMs LXCs, etc.
- Using to securely network with my remote servers.
- Homepage
- Using as a “single-pane-of-glass” to get an overview of service health with links to the various services.
- Invidious
- Using in-place of YouTube.
- IT-Tools (GH)
- Using for the myriad of various useful tools it offers.
- Jellyfin (GH)
- My media player of choice. Using for movies and television, but supports music, ebooks, and photos in addition.
- Kopia Server (GH)
- Using for data backups to my Minio instance on local NAS and Wasabi. Simple, fast, and reliable.
- Librespeed (GH)
- Using for the occasional speedtest to my remote servers.
- Matrix stack using Conduit back end and Element-Web front end
- Federated Discord essentially. Using as a private instance for friends and family.
- Minio
- Using primarily as a gateway to storing backups, also serves git-lfs for Gitea.
- N8N (GH)
- Using for home-automation, backing up my Reddit saved posts to a database, deal-alerts, and part of a CI/CD pipeline.
- NTFY (GH)
- Using for infrastructure notifications mostly. Very simple and versatile alerting solution.
- NZBGet
- Using for getting “usenet articles”.
- Paperless-NGX
- Using for document archival. Important receipts, documentation, letters, etc. live here.
- Portainer (GH) with multiple agents on VM’s LXCs and VPSs
- High level management of my various docker containers.
- Prowlarr
- Using to provide torznab API to websites that dont natively have it. Integrates with Radarr and Sonarr
- Radarr (GH)
- Using for movie management.
- Radicale
- Using for contacts and calendar server.
- Raneto (GH)
- Using as a knowledge base. Lab documentation, lists, recipes, lots of things live here. Using with with code-server and Gitea.
- Readarr (GH)
- Using for book management
- Recyclarr (GH)
- Using for Radar and Sonarr to sync search terms for their automations. Very useful, hard to summarize.
- Requestrr
- Using (very rarely) as a requests bot for Radarr and Sonarr.
- SFTP-Go
- Using mostly in-place of Nextcloud. Used to back up phones mostly.
- Shaarli (GH)
- Using as a read-it-later service. Went through lots of these, and Shaarli has been good enough.
- Singlefile-Archive
- A hacky way of presenting pages saved with the singlefile browser extension. Not exactly happy with the solution, but for my ocasional use it does work.
- Sonarr (GH)
- Using as TV series manager
- Speedtest-Tracker (GH)
- Using to get periodic speedtests. Plan to automate results to blast my ISP if my service speed gets too low.
- Traefik (GH) on each seperate host
- Using as a web proxy in front of my various services. Critical infrastructure.
- Transmission (GH)
- Using to get “Linux ISOs”
- Uptime Kuma (GH)
- Using to monitor site and services status along with a few others. Integrated with NTFY for alerts.
- Vaultwarden
- Using as my password manager. Have been using for years, cannot recommend enough.
- A handful of static websites served with NGINX
- The old standby, its been reliable as a webserver.
These services are the result of years of development and administrating my lab and while there is still some cruft, it’s mostly services that I think have real utility.
As far as hardware:
-
Running pfsense on a toughbook laptop as a router-firewall.
-
A SuperMicro 24 bay disk-shelf with Proxmox and ZFS for NAS duties and a couple services.
-
Lenovo Tiny boxes with a Proxmox cluster for the majority of my local services.
-
Dell managed switch
-
A few Raspberry-pi’s with Raspbian for various things.
-
Linksys AP for wifi
Edit: Spelling is hard.
That is impressive. For the sake of curiosity, do you have any photos or diagrams you could share?
Hmmm. I don’t have a network/infrastructure diagram or anything yet, but I’ve been meaning to create one. I’ll probably put one together and post more about my setup if there’s any interest. I’ll be sure to tag you when I do. Thanks for the interest!
- Audiobookshelf (GH)
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.
Oh yeah, and a Synology NAS as a backup target :)
I respect the enterprise-level IT operation you run for your family lol
