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?

I self-host a ton of software. For context, I'm leveraging docker-compose on top of TrueNAS SCALE:

  • Monitoring
    • Prometheus
    • Grafana
    • the basic dockprom exporters: nodeexporter, cadvisor
    • NUT Exporter (UPS statistics)
    • PiHole exporter
    • UptimeKuma
  • Ad blocking
    • PiHole
    • unbound (censor-resilient DNS resolver)
    • dnsproxy (in order to use PiHole on my smartphone and laptop outside my home network)
  • Media
    • Plex
    • Transmission
    • Sonarr
    • Radarr
    • Bazarr
    • Jackett
    • Flaresolverr
  • Services exposed to the outside world
    • Bunkerweb (security-hardened nginx reverse-proxy)
    • Bird.makeup (Twitter to Mastodon bridge)
    • FreshRSS
    • n8n (automation software, think IFTTT or Zapier, but open-source and on steroids)
    • Self-Host Planning Poker (my very own software!)
    • Courier (parcel tracking software)
    • Overseerr (user-friendly interface for friends and family to request movies and shows, plugs into Sonarr, Radarr and Plex)
    • Lemmy
  • Kresus (personal finance)
  • Wireguard (VPN I use as a gateway into my home network)
  • Caddy (reverse proxy with HTTPS, I use it for serving locally everything I do not expose to the outside world)
  • Restic server (an HTTP server to push Restic backups from various computers at home)
  • wakeonlan-cron-docker (because TrueNAS doesn't allow installing WoL package. Once again, I made it myself)

What I'm looking into at the moment:

  • Tandoor Recipes (deployed but I cannot make CSRF work with my reverse-proxy so far)

What I'll be looking into in the near future:

  • Promtail + Grafana Loki to aggregate Docker containers logs in Prometheus/Grafa
  • Immich (Google Photos alternative with automated backups from smartphones)

How did you do Caddy on TrueNAS Scale? Docker-compose also? Im currently hosting a lot of stuff you are, but all with truecharts apps via docker. Ultimately used traefik this time, but I like the simplicity of the caddyfile a lot.

When I read through your post, it feels like you are me in 5 years if everything goes well.

I run everything on top of the docker-compose chart, which allows me much more flexibility that I would ever have with official TrueNAS apps and TrueCharts.

I see, thanks! Wanted to get my stuff up and running as quick as possible, but Ill be looking into doing things this way next.
