- Radarr
- Sonarr
- Ombi
- Tautulli
- MP4 Automator
- Veeam B&R for backing up vSphere hosts.

Respect! Nobody can accuse you of a half-assed effort.
MeTube
This looks great. I am going to spin up an instance.
Very impressive. I gotta ask, how is this feasible cost-wise? Mostly as in licensing for vshpere. I know you can get pretty far in windows server with evaluation keys, butI run an ESXi server on eval mode cuz I’m cheap and have to reset the license every 90 days with some commands and reboot 😅
What is the scale of your network, like is this all just in your house?
Ok, you’ve got me curious - Why 3 different active directory domain controllers?
Just for redundancy! One DC VM per physical vSphere host. Each DC also handles internal DNS records for my network.
(I’ll add links / descriptions later)
I host the following fediverse stuff:
- Lemmy (you’re looking at it)
- Mastodon (3 instances)
- Calckey oh sorry, now FireFish
- Pixelfed
- Misskey
- Writefreely
- Funkwhale
- Akkoma (2 instances)
- Peertube
And these are other things I host:
- Kimai2
- Matrix/Synapse
- Silver Bullet
- XWiki (3 instances)
- Cryptpad (2 instances)
- Gitea
- Grafana
- Hedgedoc
- Minecraft
- Nextcloud
- Nginx Proxy Manager
- Paperless-ngx
- TheLounge
- Vaultwarden
- Zabbix
- Zammad
I have a rented server with 8 Xeon E3-1246 and 64GB at Hetzner where I host:
- Vaultwarden
- Gitlab (git repo, container registry, static blog (pages with Hugo))
- Drawio (Diagrams)
- Kroki (for Gitlab)
- Gitlab runner
- FreshRSS
- Nextcloud
- Redis
- Headscale (Tailscale server)
- Keycloak
- MariaDB
- PostgreSQL
- Plex
- Privacybin
- Wallabag
- Hedgedoc
It’s all behind a Traefik instance handling Let’s Encrypt and using the Docker socket to route traffic based on labels in docker-compose.yml. Behind these I also run k3s and from time to time some VMs. I also have a 1TB storage pod at Hetzner where I use restic to back everything up from this instance as well as from my home system and laptops.
Been self hosting for over a decade at this point. Mix of custom built servers and surplus hardware over the years.
To name a few of my daily servers.
- home assistant
- paperless-ng
- jellyfin
- nextcloud
- blue iris
- audiobook shelf
With docker being so easy I have kind of lost track how much stuff i am hosting. A problem i never thought i would have :)
I will go first 😌
I selfhost codimd, vaultwarden, kuma, immich, home assistant, trilium, hugo, gotify, wakapi and umami. I have one VPS and one custom built NAS at home.
I read you 👀🦎
Hugo? As in your generated site or you have some sort of service that costs hugo that generates and deploys your site or something else?
Greetings!
Not really self hosting a lot right now, but I’ve been spending a lot of time reengineering my network and fixing some things. Recently retired my loud and power-hungry pfsense server, replacing it with a Mikrotik rb5009, so setting that up has been a steep learning curve.
Most things are running on my Synology DS920+, except for a few raspberry pis.
- Jellyfin (docker)
- Kavita (docker)
- Home Assistant (pi4)
- Paperless-ngx (docker)
PiHole (pi zero)currently broken- Unifi controller (docker)
- Grafana (home assistant)
- InfluxDB (docker)
- LibreNMS (VM)

Tipi is pretty awesome. If you haven’t already, check it out!
Hosting a whole bunch of stuff for myself, the family and also the public. For the larger family I’m hosting eMail but using a managed service offering for that (Hetzner). Too old to run my own IMAP/SMTP infrastructure ;)
For a few private societies I’m hosting:
- Mattermost
- NextCloud
- WordPress https://www.uckermark-blog.de/
For the public I host:
- Mastodon at https://hub.uckermark.social
- Mastodon at https://tetrax.de/
- BookWyrm at https://books.mxhdr.net/
- Mobilizon at https://termine.uckermark.social/
- MatrixChat at https://matrix.mxhdr.net
- Element WebUI for Matrix at https://element-web.explain-it.org/
Mostly formyself, but not restricted I’m hosting:
- Pixelfed
- LinkDing for Bookmarks
- Excalidraw
- Grafana
- OverLeaf
- StandardNotes Server
- PiHole
- GitTea
- FreshRSS
- Minio S3-kompatible Object Storage as Backend for Mastodon & Pixelfed (on an old Dell Optiplex at home over my DSL Line)
- GoToSocial Fediverse Client (On a RaspberryPi at home)
- PeerTube for public projects (on the same old Dell OptiPlex)
- PeerTube as private Video Streaming platform (on a Dell Precision 3500 tower)
Most services run in Docker Containers on some VPS at Hetzner. Some stuff runs in Docker Containers on old spare hardware at home.
Are you using the mail service from Hetzner or are you using their servers to host it yourself?
I’m using the Mail service from Hetzner. I did host my own eMails for more than 10 years but eventually decided it’s too much hassle.
I’m also using their mail servers, but I’m having some issues with DKIM. Is DKIM working fine for you?
Available from internet:
- jellyfin
- jellyseerr
- immich
- paperless-ngx
- owncloud ocis
- traefik
- homarr
Available only from local:
- the *arr stack
- qbittorrent
- jackett
- watchtower
- apprise
- netdata (kinda new, still have to fully understand how it works)
- portainer
- speedtest-tracker
- homepage
Security
All the services available from internet, just goes through traefik to terminate https, I rely on the build in authentication of each service. To add another layer of security, I have fail2ban active on all those services.
I have a public IP, and I have open on my router ports 80, 443, a random port for ssh and vpn.
Hardware:
Memory: System RAM: total: 8 GiB available: 7.73 GiB used: 4.46 GiB (57.7%) Report: arrays: 1 slots: 4 modules: 2 type: DDR3 CPU: Info: 6-core model: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T bits: 64 type: MCP cache: L2: 3 MiB Graphics: Device-1: NVIDIA GP107 [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti] driver: nvidia v: 535.98
docker compose files
All the docker compose files + how I configured everything is available at: https://github.com/simone-viozzi/my-server
Bonus:
Since I like the ability of btrfs to do snapshots, I created all important docker volumes as btrfs subvolumes. Then I created a backup script that literally sends the subvolume (encrypted) to an external cloud. This does not allow incremental backups and most likely is not the best backup solution… but it works… the repo is: https://github.com/simone-viozzi/btrfs2cloud-backup
I welcome any advice / criticism!
Host all the things!
Wordpress, SMTP/IMAP, tor, bittorrent, Nextcloud, Plex, NTP, photo galleries, DoT…
I even started hosting the website for my local Italian restaurant and they haven’t even realised it yet.
Wait, what? How are hosting someone else’s website?
OK, here’s how it happened.
I was hungry, and I wanted to see the menu for my local pizza joint. I couldn’t find it anywhere.
I discovered that all their socials linked to a website that wouldn’t load. When I checked, the domain had lapsed.
Out of frustration, I purchased the domain and pulled the last snapshot of their website off archive.org. It had their full menu as a PDF.
6 months later and it’s still getting visitors from their facebook page, who are viewing the menu. They haven’t even realised.
I strive to be this level of…
Whatever this is
Hahah yeah whatever that is
That’s funny. Imagine how confused they’ll be when/if they find out.
What a hero!
Using LXD:
- ddclient
- Jellyfin (2)
- Minecraft (proxy + 4 servers)
- Satisfactory server
- V Rising
- Gitea vcs
- wordpress
- rtorrent
- other web servers
Using rootless Podman + Systemd service:
- Vaultwarden
- Linkding
- Traefik
- Immich photo backup
- Nextcloud (though I hate it, probably will stop)
- Grafana
- Prometheus
- Prowlarr/Radarr/Sonarr/Lidarr/Bazarr/Recyclarr
- Rtorrent + Flood
- Jellyseerr
- Navidrome (Subsonic server)
- Miniflux (RSS)
- Woodpecker (CI integration for Gitea)
- Tubearchivist (yt-dl)
- wg-easy (wireguard)
- searxng
All services are split across 2 DIY servers (in towers). 15TB of media stored on HDD with btrfs duplicated across both servers. One server host is Alpine Linux, the other is Opensuse MicroOS. LXD containers usually are Debian 12 or Alpine. I’m beginning to migrate some things to a cluster of (12) raspberry pi 3s. Unsure what to choose for rpi’s, maybe, Fedora CoreOS (ublue), although Alpine does work extremely well on them (once you get them set up with it).
+ router running fresh tomato :)
Also mailcow for email, on a VPS, although I need to switch to a new provider, having difficulty with delivery using Linode and OVHCloud.
