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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Currently all containerised running on a debian VM on a Rockylinux Qemu/KVM hypervisor. Initially I was using rocky+podman but inevitably hit something I wanted to run that just straight up needed docker and was too much effort to try and get working. 🤷

Hardware is an circa 2012 gaming machine with a few ZFS raids for all of my Linux ISOs. It lives an extremely tortured existence and longs for the sweet release of death.

Toying with the idea of migrating it all to on-prem virtualised kubernetes cluster using helm charts to manage the stacks and using NFS mounts for persistent storage because I hate myself (and to upskill I guess)

What about you?

Everything is running on a Synology NAS. Media lives on a 16TB raid array of HDD, and the containers themselves on a RAID 1 of two NVMe SSDs. This helps with spinning down the HDD when not in use and overall power consumption is very reasonable.

On the host:

  • Tailscale to connect remotely
  • Synology Photo as a great photo library

Then everything in Docker containers, deployed via compose stacks from Git and Portainer, very easy to update! Also using Watchtower to automatically updates containers that are using the “latest” tag.

  • arr stack. With notably Recyclarr that allows to sync from TrashGuides the recommended media quality profiles
  • Jellyfin
  • Miniflux for RSS. Recently switched from Feedly… it’s so much better. Allows full text extraction when the feed isn’t.
  • Calibre + Calibre Web for the interface, ebooks management
  • Home Assistant + Zigbee2mqtt for home automation
  • Nginx proxy manager to reverse proxy a handful of services (those with shared logins, e.g. Jellyfin…)
  • Paperless-Ngx for documents management
  • Change detection for websites monitoring (e.g. price changes…)
  • Flame for a simple “dashboard” with all these links
