What are YOU self-hosting?

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.

  • I have a slightly different setup personally! I am actually happily running a Windows Pro server.

    For my Drivepool redundant storage, I am utilizing a cool tool I came across years ago called https://stablebit.com/DrivePool and I've been really happy with it!

    I RDP into my server a lot for coding projects, and misc things, almost like a secondary computer. Additionally, I enjoy being able to Steam stream several games from it to my phone or laptop on the go. A surprising number of games are playable in this fashion.

    Outside of that, I do selfhost multiple serices:

    • Plex, I actually heavily use it as a self-hosted Youtube alternative by leveraging yt-dlp and some personal tooling I wrote that collates downloaded youtube channels into Collections within my Plex (No ads!) -- Shameless plug tomy tool - https://github.com/KJBurnett/plex-youtube-channel-collections
    • Rocket.Chat for chatting with my close friends
    • code-server - a self-hosted vscode environment. You can literally code on an iPad with the capability and power of a Ryzen 7 behind it. Very cool and fun.
    • gitlab (although it seems fairly heavy for my needs, unsure.)
    • Overseerr - Movie/tv show requesting web app tied into my Plex
    • airsonic - Plex also does music but sometimes it seems to be pretty resource heavy. I run Plex with Plexamp simultaneously with airsonic for the service redundancy currently.
    • Similar setup here, I'm running a Windows server with DrivePool. I've been using DrivePool for over 5 years and I'm a huge fan. I just built a new server and moved all the hard drives over and re-installed DrivePool and it was up and running with no fuss.

      I'm running the following:

      • Blue Iris, software NVR for all my home cameras. This is the primary reason I run Windows as the base OS.
      • Plex for maintaining my media collection
      • SABnzbd for downloading from usenet
      • Omada Controller for managing my TP-Link EAP router, switches, and AP's
      • Pi-Hole, I recently set up a pi-hole for ad blocking and getting some more visibility on what's going on in my network
      • Wireguard for VPN access. I switched from OpenVPN a year ago and am super impressed with it.
      • LAMP server to run some scripts to tie together different home automation products/APIs
      • Mealie - Meal/food tracking website I read about on this post actually. Just installed it and am playing around with. Gotta convince the wife to use it!
      • Hyper-V to run linux VMs.
      • Docker/Portainer on a Debian VM
      • Dope man! What are you running in your Linux VMs in Hyper-V? Gotta check out Mealie. How do you like wire guard? I currently run Tailscale and it runs fantastic, but I’m not big on the oauth2 requirement.
