In the What are YOU self-hosting? thread, there are a lot of people here who are self-hosting a huge number of applications, but there's not a lot of discussion of the platform these things run on.
What does your self-hosted infrastructure look like?
Here are some examples of more detailed questions, but I'm sure there are plenty more topics that would be interesting:
What hardware do you run on? Or do you use a data center/cloud?
Do you use containers or plain packages?
Orchestration tools like K8s or Docker Swarm?
How do you handle logs?
How about updates?
Do you have any monitoring tools you love?
Etc.
I'm starting to put together the beginning of my own homelab, and I'll definitely be starting small but I'm interested to hear what other people have done with their setups.
I have a Turing Pi v2 but only one of the slots populated with an 8gb pi (because I can't buy any more right now). Currently just running an SMB share and paperless (in docker) but I plan to add more and use k3s or docker swarm once I have an actual cluster. I am also yet to set up any log handling or monitoring but that's on the todo list.
Nice! I have my Turing pi 2 still sitting in the box until I can actually find some pi CM4s. One of these days...
I do have a k3s cluster running on two regular pis with PoE Hats and a little network switch. Works well. Here's my homelab repo if you want food for thought (ansible for bootstrapping the cluster, then helm for apps).
