    Hey, I’m new here - but not new to self-hosting :-)

    Self-hosting started for me via hosting a few services on my NAS - and then it escalated a bit…

    At home:

    • 2 Proxmox hosts (Miniforum MS-01 & GEEKOM XT12 Pro), services running mostly as Docker stacks in LXC containers, deployed via Komodo
    • (several) Synology NAS (DS918+, DS1520+, DX517, RS2423+) for storage and backups
    • UniFi network hardware (UDM Pro, USW Aggregation, USW Pro 48 PoE, U6-Lite APs) with a couple of VLANs. 10 GbE where possible.
    • Technitium as DNS (recently replaced my old setup with AdGuard Home)
    • Authentik for SSO in front of almost everything
    • Nginx Proxy Manager as reverse proxy, Uptime Kuma to monitor stuff, Homepage as dashboard
    • The actual fun stuff: Immich, Home Assistant, Paperless-NGX, Mealie, Bar Assistant, Stirling-PDF, Forgejo, Dawarich, LubeLogger, Umami, PBS, Grafana, AFFiNE, Actual, lifeGLANCE, Grocy, Rallly, Rackula, SnapOtter, Wallos, Homebox, RomM, Excalidraw my media stack… the list keeps growing, as I’m sure you all know.

    Outside:

    • a small server at a German hoster for the real public-facing stuff (WordPress blogs etc.). I just recently revived my old blog, started blogging again and - old school - created a personal website :-D

    More about me can be found there. Also my new blog posts are and will be mostly about self-hosting topics after a longer blogging hiatus of about 15 years. Yes, I know, blogs aren’t exactly in fashion anymore :-)

    Looking forward to discussions & fresh ideas from the community!

    My Self-Hosting Journey

    I began my self-hosting journey in 2021 with the goal of hosting a game server for friends so they would not need to pay for external hosting. Through onsite IT work, I acquired several 6th and 8th generation i7 systems from companies that were downsizing or upgrading. After adding inexpensive NVMe storage and APC battery backups, the environment grew quickly.

    What started as a single server eventually expanded to three dedicated game servers running 27/4, supporting up to 270 concurrent players at peak. These servers have been up for almost 4 years now.

    Internet Connection

    • ISP: Optimum Fiber (1 Gbps / 1 Gbps symmetrical) – $65/month
    • ISP router configured in bridge mode if I return it they take away a discount.

    Network Infrastructure

    • Router: UDM Pro
    • Switch: USW 16-Port PoE
    • Access Point: AC Pro

    Infrastructure Services

    DNS Server

    • Raspberry Pi 4 (4 GB RAM)
    • DietPi OS
    • Running Pi-hole for DNS filtering

    Game Server Infrastructure

    All game servers are connected to APC battery backups and maintain approximately 99% uptime, with downtime only occurring during scheduled maintenance. A custom watchdog script automatically restarts servers if a crash occurs.

    • Game Server 1

      • i7 6th Gen
      • 24 GB RAM
      • 500 GB NVMe storage
      • Windows Server 2019

    • Game Server 2

      • i7 8th Gen
      • 32 GB RAM
      • 500 GB NVMe storage
      • Windows Server 2019

    • Game Server 3

      • i7 8th Gen
      • 28 GB RAM
      • 500 GB NVMe storage
      • Windows Server 2019

    Virtualization / Homelab

    Proxmox Server

    • i7 12th Gen
    • 40 GB RAM
    • 1 TB NVMe storage
    • External USB Media Drive – 22 TB (with backup)

    Current Services

    • Jellyfin – Replacing all commercial streaming services (currently LAN only, working on secure remote access)

    Planned Additions

    • NGINX – Reverse proxy for secure external access
    • Apache Guacamole – Replace RemotePC for remote access
    • Tailscale – Replace Surfshark for private networking
    • Vaultwarden – Replace RoboForm for password management

    If you think there are better options please let me know so I can do my research!

    Small Datacenter…

    Hardware: 3x Dell R630’s, 256G (in 2) 512G (in 1) (Proxmox, Vmware ESX, NutanixCE) 1x Dell R730XD, 240TB, 256G-Ram (Truenas) 1x Dell R730XD, 50TB, 128GB Ram (Proxmox Backup Server)

    In truenas containers I’m running my entire *Arr stack, cloudflare, Paperless, Ollama, Immich, etc.

    In Proxmox I’m running a few Linux VM’s (mail gateway, Desktop VM’s for work, etc). VMWare and Nutanix are disposable hypervisors I use for deployment testing for work stuff.

    I have vaultwarden, navidrome, uptime kuma (on a vps, because it doesn’t make sense to host it on my pi, because if it goes down, I’m not gonna know), pihole (though it’s not currently working with Mullvad), dokuwiki, freshrss, searxng, ntfy, and tugtainer (replacement for watchtower since that’s now abandoned).

    I’m new to self-hosting world, for starting I subscribed to a VPS with 240GB of storage with Debian installed on so I could run my Yunohost server

    I’m trying it out mostly for streaming music with Navidrome and run Fresh RSS. Also I use RSS Bridge so I can stay updated with some Instagram accounts

    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

    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.

        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 have been self hosting things for over 15 years. I now host on 7 computers. I’m proud of the fact that I stay under 100W idle, including 3 Omada WLAN APs and network technology (all via PoE and all is on a UPS). For most of the services i normally used the helper scripts. i’m currently in the process of moving everything to komodo. there should be an lxc for each service or service group, komodo pulls the compose files from gitea and deploys everything.

      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?

    I have an Asus NUC 12th gen with 32gb of ram and 1 TB of storage atm. I plan on expanding it with a DAS then run with that for a very long while until I can get a nice rack to play with and do some sys admin stuff down the line.

    But ATM I got an arrstack going for Movies, TV, and Music. Alongside that I have Stalwart for mail, Immich for photo backup/gallery, Vaultwarden for password and auth manager, and opencloud for cloud storage.
