What do you personally self-host?

Oh gosh…a plethora of things. I use probably 98% of what I self host on a regular basis, the other 2% are things I’m testing out, or learning how to do. Some of the things I host:

• beets
• BTOP-PLUS-PLUS
• btop
• calibre-web
• change-detection
• cloudreve
• codeserver
• composetoolbox
• cronmaster
• barcodebuddy
• deemix
• dozzle
• duplicati
• FileZilla
• git-sync
• gotify
• grocy
• homarr (dashboard)
• ntfy
• invidious
• it-tools
• jdownloader2
• linkwarden
• mega_nz
• n8n
• navidrome
• netdata
• network-toolbox
• nexterm
• owncloud
• pihole
• portainer
• postgresql
• Readeck
• redis
• searxng
• speedtest
• syncthing
• theme-park
• trillium
• tt-rss
• uptime-kuma
• watchtower (fork)

I do have two spare Raspberry Pi Zero 2W and one small computer with an old i5 / 8 GB RAM.

Do it OP. You got to start somewhere. 8 gb of RAM will run a nice group of apps. That’s kind of the nice thing. These apps do not run constantly, and only on demand. You’re probably not going to be able to run heavy programs like Elasticsearch, LLM/AI, or apps in that group. I haven’t found much that I need that I can’t self host.

I’m currently learning Ansible and CI/CD type environment on a test server. I’m no where close to prime time tho, but that’s the thing. You can always have something in the skunk works you’re working on, and when you get to the point you’re ready for production, you can deploy it on the production server.

Welcome to the most fun, frustrating, educational, useful hobby you’ll ever dive into.
