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.

What are YOU self-hosting? (lemmy.world)

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.

In various clouds

  • Email - Docker Mail Server (Postfix, Dovecot, Rspamd, etc.)
  • Reverse Proxy cluster - frp
    • This is actually pretty neat. It is basically acting as a self-hosted ngrok, letting me expose all the stuff in my homelab without having to put my home IP out there.
  • External Monitoring - Uptime Kuma
  • Random sites via cloudflare workers/R2

In my homelab

Infrastructure

  • DNS - PiHole fronting local Unbound resolvers
  • Load Balancing/Routing - Traefik
  • Storage - Gluster exposed via Samba
    • I am still searching for the right solution for storage... nothing does what I want. I have been slowly writing my own, but don't have the time to get it to a point I trust it, haha.
  • Custom traefik auto-config clients/server
    • Reads labels on containers and announces them to the server that traefik uses for HTTP service discovery
  • Custom docker-compose nonsense
    • Basically lets me choose where to run docker-compose files in a simple and centralized way, including on multiple machines
    • Doesn't do scheduling/monitoring/etc, just manually setting "this compose should run these machines"
    • I got tired of running k8s and nomad.

Services

  • Authentication - Authentik
  • Media - Jellyfin
  • Minecraft
  • Password Manager - Vaultwarden
  • PKM - DokuWiki
  • SCM - Forgejo (a fork of Gitea, which itself is a fork of Gogs)
  • Social Media - Lemmy
  • Webmail - Snappymail
  • Several random little websites
  • Many little things I've written for myself

Any service that needs non-http traffic pointed at it runs local instances of the frp client to expose that port to the reverse-proxy cluster.
