I just spent a good chunk of today migrating some services onto new docker containers in Proxmox LXCs.

As I was updating my network diagram, I was struck by just how many services, hosts, and LXCs I’m running, so counted everything up.

  • 116 docker containers
    • Running on 25 docker hosts
    • 50 are the same on each docker host - Watchtower and Portainer agent
  • 38 Proxmox LXCs (19 are docker hosts)
  • 8 physical servers
  • 7 VLANs
  • 5 SSIDs
  • 2 NASes

So, it got me wondering about the size of other people’s homelabs. What are your stats?

    • 8 Hosts (6 physical/local, 2 VPS/remote)
    • 72 Docker containers
      • Pi-hole (3 of them, 2 local, 1 on a VPS)
      • Orbital-sync (keeps the pi-holes synced up)
      • Searxng (search engine)
      • Kutt (URL shortener)
      • LenPaste (Pastebin-like)
      • Ladder (paywall bypass)
      • Squoosh (Image converter, runs fully in browser but I like hosting it anyway)
      • Paperless-ng (Document management)
      • CryptPad (Secure E2EE office colaboration)
      • Immich (Google Photos replacement)
      • Audiobookplayer (Audiobook player)
      • Calibre (Ebook management)
      • NextCloud (Don’t honestly use this one much these days)
      • VaultWarden (Password/2FA/PassKey management)
      • Memos (Like Google Keep)
      • typehere (A simple scratchpad that stores in browser memory)
      • librechat (Kind of like chatgpt except self-hosted and able to use your own models/api keys)
      • Stable Diffusion (AI image generator)
      • JellyFin (Video streaming)
      • Matrix (E2EE Secure Chat provider)
      • IRC (oldschool chat service)
      • FireFlyIII (finance management)
      • ActualBudget (another finance thing)
      • TimeTagger (Time tracking/invoicing)
      • Firefox Sync (Use my own server to handle syncing between browsers)
      • LibreSpeed (A few instances, to speed testing my connection to the servers)
      • Probably others I can’t think of right now

    Most of these I use at least regularly, quite a few I use constantly.

    I can’t imagine living without Searxng, VaultWarden, Immich, JellyFin, and CryptPad.

    I also wouldn’t want to go back to using the free ad-supported services out there for things like memos, kutt, and lenpaste.

    Also librechat I think is underappreciated. Even just using it for GPT with an api key is infinitely better for your privacy than using the free chatgpt service that collects/owns all your data.

    But it’s also great for using gpt4 to generate an image prompt, sending it through a prompt refiner, and then sending it to Stable Diffusion to generate an image, all via a single self-hosted interface.
