I didn’t know that existed and now I love it and started up a docker container for it!
Thanks! :D
Also love it - I use it to auto download my podcasts
Proxmox on a self-built rackserver (Will be building a second one for a proxmox cluster):
- Pi-Hole (primary)
- Home Assistant
- 2 Docker Hosts (One for Eval, one for Prod)
Raspberry Pi Zero for Pi-Hole (secondary)
On my Docker Host (All in docker-compose):
- Heimdall (Personal Dashboard)
- Portainer (Docker GUI)
- baikal (CAL & CADdav)
- vaultwarden (Password Manager)
- bookstack (Documentation, kinda abandoned because im lazy)
- changedetection(.)io (Monitoring Websites for Changes, useful for changelogs or price monitoring)
- cloudflare-ddns (DDNS because dynamic IP Adresses…)
- Grafana & InfluxDB (Dashboard and Database for Stats)
- linkding (Bookmarks aka “Have to read someday”)
- mealie (Reciepe manager)

A Synology DS220+ for local Storage
A 5TB Hetzner Storage Box for Backups (encrypted)
A Rootserver for Games and some testing in the wild (Currently Windows, will be switched to ubuntu)
Hetzner Cloud Server with mailcow on it
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 :)
If there is RAM to spare… one more selfhosted service can’t be bad hahaha
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?

- Code Server
- CyberChef
- Guacamole
- NGINX Proxy Manager
- PairDrop
- SMEE Client

- Docker-SMTP
- Vaultwarden
- A couple of personal websites using NGINX
- Kubernetes (k3s) (3 Managers, 6 Workers) Hosting:

Standalone Lenovo TS140:
- Plex (GTX 1650 Super for Transcoding)
- SABnzbd
- Radarr
- Sonarr
- Ombi
- Tautulli
- MP4 Automator
- Veeam B&R for backing up vSphere hosts.
Synology DS1821+:
- 64TB Raw, 2TB NVMe Cache
- MeTube
- Backup Sync to Google Drive
Misc:
- RIPE Atlas Probe
- All networking gear is Unifi. UDM Pro, USW Aggregation, USW Pro 48 PoE, U6 Pro, U6 In-Wall, 3 USW Flex Minis. 10G SFP+ connections between UDM Pro and switches.
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.
Hello
Let’s have a look at the inventory
-
RPI 4B
- OpenHab (Openhabian actually, so some additional services like Zigbee2MQTT or Grafana)
-
HP EliteDesk 800 G2 i5-6500T, 8GiB RAM - this one is currently the mainstay of my lab, running containers with docker-compose
- Nginx as reverse proxy (+ fail2ban, letsencrypt)
- Paperless-ngx (+ Redis, Tika, Gotenberg)
- Jellyfin
- Minecraft server (+ Mapcrafter)
- ddclient
- Heimdall
-
Dell OptiPlex 7060 Micro i7-8700T 32GiB RAM
- I’ve gotten this one fairly recently. A real bargain - costed as much as the CPU alone and was in pristine condition. I will be migrating the workload from EliteDesk to this one. I decided to try ProxMox this time though, so I need to learn a bit first. Also perhaps add a second SSD
How does mapcrafter run for you now? I’m hosting a vanilla server and that’s exactly what I need to see our map. I’m just concerned that it doesn’t function properly now due to recent updates.
Thanks!

I joined to learn, still not self-hosting anything, but I intend to use an 11yo Compaq laptop (i5, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD) as a server while I’m still practicing. I intend to self-host a lemmy instance and a nextcloud server.
Thanks for everything you guys have been sharing I’ve already got some good leads, gonna try out YunoHost for starters
I have a used Lenovo Thinkcentre mini with an i3-7100T and 16gb RAM. I have Ubuntu server LTS installed on it and I run everything in docker containers.
I host:
- jellyfin server for my friends and family
- qbittorrent to download for the JF server(behind a VPN)
- Jellyseerr for requests
- Jackett, Sonarr, and Radarr for downloads
- a Minecraft server
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!
- jellyfin and Plex (in the process of migrating)
- radarr/sonarr
- jackett and deluge
- nextcloud
I’ve had new hardware in the basement now for a while, going to slap it together and build a k8s cluster on top of rancher/harvester
Please make a blog post about your migration. I’m in the same boat.
Which way are you migrating?
I migrated from Plex to jellyfin.
I tried it out when I couldn’t get HEVC files to steam on Plex, and i liked it!
It doesn’t have the full ecosystem around it that Plex does, but that’s fine by me.
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!
