Started about 15 years ago hosting media files on a Drobo but quickly realized that wasn’t going to work for me. Moved to Synology for NAS and then finally landed on Unraid 4 years ago.

Currently hosting the usual media stack like plex and *arr. Recently added Grimmory and hooked into my Kobo. Also have Immich deployed. Testing the waters with Tofa as a next project.

Running everything on 112Tb array with a 12600k + 32Gb RAM.

I started in August. Running docker containers on ubuntu server lts minimal, on a ryzen 3 3200g with 16gb ram.

Running:

Jellyfin

RomM

Kiwix

Seafile

Beszel

Portainer

WUD

Pi-hole

Unbound

Caddy

Syncthing

Tailscale

The domain has no website and no open ports, so Caddy handles routing and automated tls certification via api. External access only via tailscale, per user and per device approval process. Split horizon dns so domain names resolve direct routes to server on lan, and via tailnet from outside.

500GB nvme OS drive rsynched nightly to a second matched nvme in the server. HDD data drives backed up using rsynch to matching sized drives in a DAS unit. Script dumps romm and seafile databases to hdd before rsynch Git pulls to data drive, captured in backup and Syncthing to separate device.

Parallel Pihole and Unbound on a RPi5. RPi5 is primary dns for the lan to spread load, but the config master is the server, RPi is kept in sync with a one way feed from the main server using Syncthing.

Looking into adding openclaw and ollama to play with, maybe use to monitor the server a bit more proactively. Need to plan out permissions and security so nothing dumb happens.

Heyyy, I started because I wanted save money and move away from Google to hosting mini cloud for my whole family that we rely on.

I have TrueNAS Server with i5-8400, 32GB of RAM, 256gb nvme for OS, 512gb SSD for appdata dataset, 8tbx2 and 4tbx2 mirrored totaling 12TB of usable space with 512gb SSD for cache for main storage dataset.

TrueNAS hosts these containers:

immich_machine_learning

paperless-ngx

immich_server

immich_postgres

ix-adguard-home-adguardhome

flaresolverr

joplin

plex

content_pipeline

pinchflat

seerr

jupyterlab

sonarr

bazarr

prowlarr

radarr

filebrowser

calibre-web

ix-speedtest-tracker-speedtest

qbittorrent

bookshelf

paperless-db

scrutiny

gitea

gluetun

audiobookshelf

baikal

beszel

posting_worker

vikunja-db

vikunja

ix-cloudflared-cloudflare

grocy

ntfy

watchtower

vaultwarden

beszel-agent

immich_redis

paperless-redis

wireguard-tunnel

kavita

I also have AI Server with i5-9400, 40gb of RAM, 128gb nvme for OS, GTX 1070 8GB for local Qwen3.5 9b model and openrouter API for deepseek model.

Containers that it runs are:

Open WebUI

GPT-Researcher

Hermes

open-terminal

Mem0

Ollama

DDGS

Caddy

Tailscale

Then I have a VPS for proxy, crowdsec, fail2ban to expose my services.

And also I pay for iDrive e2 bucket to backup everything.

Well this my small production server infrastructure that i am very proud of. And I’m so glad I have UPS for both of the server. Thank you)))

My stack (Docker on Pi 5/Debian) is much bigger than this, but my top three favourites (not in any particular order) are:

Adguard Home (browsing on my phone is finally bearable).

Wireguard (using wg-easy) to not deal with port forwarding.

Ignis, which I heavily prefer over WebObsidian. Aside from CouchDB giving me hell, it doesn’t use VNC to stream to your browser–it’s built on Electron and all the hard work is done in-browser (am happy to glaze this project further).

Main one I use right now is a media center running FreeBSD and XFCE, and KDE Connect for remote-like functionality.

I just play files with mpv manually, but might write a front-end for it one day.

Hey, I’m new here - but not new to self-hosting :-)

Self-hosting started for me via hosting a few services on my NAS - and then it escalated a bit…

At home:

2 Proxmox hosts (Miniforum MS-01 & GEEKOM XT12 Pro), services running mostly as Docker stacks in LXC containers, deployed via Komodo

(several) Synology NAS (DS918+, DS1520+, DX517, RS2423+) for storage and backups

UniFi network hardware (UDM Pro, USW Aggregation, USW Pro 48 PoE, U6-Lite APs) with a couple of VLANs. 10 GbE where possible.

Technitium as DNS (recently replaced my old setup with AdGuard Home)

Authentik for SSO in front of almost everything

Nginx Proxy Manager as reverse proxy, Uptime Kuma to monitor stuff, Homepage as dashboard

The actual fun stuff: Immich, Home Assistant, Paperless-NGX, Mealie, Bar Assistant, Stirling-PDF, Forgejo, Dawarich, LubeLogger, Umami, PBS, Grafana, AFFiNE, Actual, lifeGLANCE, Grocy, Rallly, Rackula, SnapOtter, Wallos, Homebox, RomM, Excalidraw my media stack… the list keeps growing, as I’m sure you all know.

Outside:

a small server at a German hoster for the real public-facing stuff (WordPress blogs etc.). I just recently revived my old blog, started blogging again and - old school - created a personal website :-D

More about me can be found there. Also my new blog posts are and will be mostly about self-hosting topics after a longer blogging hiatus of about 15 years. Yes, I know, blogs aren’t exactly in fashion anymore :-)

Looking forward to discussions & fresh ideas from the community!

I have an Asus NUC 12th gen with 32gb of ram and 1 TB of storage atm. I plan on expanding it with a DAS then run with that for a very long while until I can get a nice rack to play with and do some sys admin stuff down the line.

But ATM I got an arrstack going for Movies, TV, and Music. Alongside that I have Stalwart for mail, Immich for photo backup/gallery, Vaultwarden for password and auth manager, and opencloud for cloud storage.

Small Datacenter…

Hardware: 3x Dell R630’s, 256G (in 2) 512G (in 1) (Proxmox, Vmware ESX, NutanixCE) 1x Dell R730XD, 240TB, 256G-Ram (Truenas) 1x Dell R730XD, 50TB, 128GB Ram (Proxmox Backup Server)

In truenas containers I’m running my entire *Arr stack, cloudflare, Paperless, Ollama, Immich, etc.

In Proxmox I’m running a few Linux VM’s (mail gateway, Desktop VM’s for work, etc). VMWare and Nutanix are disposable hypervisors I use for deployment testing for work stuff.

Hardware:

hp EliteDesk 800 G4 SFF

i5-8500

32 GB RAM

250 ssd boot disk

1TB nvme

2 x 4 TB SSD

I run most of my services via Docker but also in their own LXCs on Proxmox:

adguard

borg-backup

caddy

forgejo

filebrowser-quantum

rackpeek

opencloud, Baikal, obsidian-live sync

immich

paperless

vikunja

navidrome, octo-fiesta

karakeep

proxmox-backup-server

Next thing I want to set up would be arcane and maybe ansible, audio-bookshelf, and someday some monitoring.

I access my services only via NetBird when I am out and about.

The biggest flaw in my setup as for now is that I only have one device that’s a single point of failure. Since I have remote backups that’s okayish atm. In the future I would try to get ahold of more hardware and separate things out. For someone who just wanted to try things out a little I got my self kind of deep into it haha Performance vice its enough for me as a single user

Also: If anyone has any suggestions what I could do with my Oracle free tier VPS, besides running a Minecraft server, I would be happy to hear ideas :)

I have vaultwarden, navidrome, uptime kuma (on a vps, because it doesn't make sense to host it on my pi, because if it goes down, I'm not gonna know), pihole (though it's not currently working with Mullvad), dokuwiki, freshrss, searxng, ntfy, and tugtainer (replacement for watchtower since that's now abandoned).

I’m new to self-hosting world, for starting I subscribed to a VPS with 240GB of storage with Debian installed on so I could run my Yunohost server

I’m trying it out mostly for streaming music with Navidrome and run Fresh RSS. Also I use RSS Bridge so I can stay updated with some Instagram accounts

Hey all, I’ve been slowly building services on my server over many many years, starting with running a minecraft ftb server, to where I am now, which is 1 primary system(providing the network filesystem) and 2 auxiliary minipc systems my brother in law recently donated. I moved from Docker to Docker Swarm after getting those MiniPC’s and enjoying the added compute. Currently my swarm is running:

PiHole x2 - AdBlocking and Local DNS Management

Wg-easy - for Wireguard VPN Management

nginx - for reverse proxy servicing

authentik - for Authentication and SSO

Duplicati - for cloud backups(pointing at backblaze buckets)

Guacamole - for RDP services

Grafana+Prometheus+Node-Exporter+Cadvisor+AlertManager - for aggregation and system monitoring

Gatus - single pane of glass monitoring of services(might remove it now that I’ve started using Grafana)

diun - monitoring docker image versions and notification

Bookstack - Personal Knowledge Base system

Linkwarden - Collaborative Link Sharing and archiving

Fasten Health - Local Health Records Storage

SnipeIT - personal asset management

Affine - self hosted cloud notebook

Actual - Budgeting Software

it-tools - for swiss army knife utilities

kitchenowl - recipes and grocery lists

Reactive resume - for resume building with AI empowered editing

Onetimesecret - for burn after reading secret sharing(using it for distributing credentials to my family)

Searxng - Local Search Aggregation

Homarr - Personal Dashboarding

Home Assistant - Smart Home Management

N8n - Automating codeless workflows

Ollama and Open-WebUI - personal Agentic AI

AudioBookshelf - Audiobook streaming and Management

OwnCloud - local file sharing and storage

Plex - Video Streaming

BitMagnet - DHT network sniffer

syncthing - for transporting data between local and remote systems

the *Arrs - for acquiring content

Docspell - for digitizing and storing important documents

picsur - for local meme storage

Calibre+Calibre-web - for Ebook management

Crafty Controller - for Minecraft Server Management

RomM - For Emulation and ROM Management.

As I go about my day I’m always looking for new and interesting containers to run, and then scrutinizing if they fill a need, replace an existing service with a better version of the same service, or if it’s better off not implementing, then I pull them down. this has been a great experience in devops learning and the longer I work on the server the more best practices I put in place and the more I understand why corporate clouds have some of the practices they have. I look forward to poking around in this community looking to help and to find new containers to accrete into my platform.

I’ve been getting deeper in to how this can go over the summer. I’ve done plex for a good few years at this point, but i’ve got this now: -Ubuntu bionic -Dockge (for easy rebooting when i’m just not feeling the CLI) -Arr stack -Gluetun (VPN for stack) -Firefox (LAN access only, no other access from gluetun) -Radarr -Sonarr -qbittorrent -prowlarr -Immich -Plex

A few I’ve tried but can’t get to work on docker-compose yet: -searxNG -Heimdall (just can’t get the graphs I wanna see for the systems processes) -homarr (not bad, just same as heimdall)

I wanted to cut over to proxmox from ubuntu just to have more server efficient since i’m not running ubuntu server. However I’m still fairly new to this and the cut over from docker desktop and docker run to docker-compose was a lot for a bit, so it’ll still be on the list, but probably when I upgrade this old cpu (i5 6500) to something newer since this is an old thinkcenter. I’m hella open to any suggestions anyone’s got
