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.

Oh jeez… there’s quite the list. I have a Ceph cluster of 3 nodes with 15x HDD’s and 3 SSD’s… on that cluster I run some VM’s that in turn run a Docker swarm. All Ubuntu 22.04, all commodity hardware. Currently I’m running;

  • Portainer to help manage this beast
  • NGINX which proxies all my web facing services on multiple websites.
  • Wordpress for my personal site which sync my Instagram pictures to it as well
  • MariaDB Galera cluster
  • Nextcloud for file sharing but also provides lots of plugin services like a password manager, email client and so on
  • Photoprism for my photos… I use the Nextcloud client to automatically upload new pics from my phone to Nextcloud then Photoprism is attached to that same library
  • OnlyOffice as a plugin to Nextcloud to allow O365-like functionality
  • ElasticSearch plugged into Nextcloud for full-text searching
  • OpenProject for project management in my own businesses
  • Jellyfin and Plex both attached to the same media library
  • E-Mail using Docker-Mailserver… so Postfix with a bunch of ancillary tools for 3 domains
  • Droppy as a quick-and-dirty file repo for when I need to get files to people easily
  • FreePBX (Asterisk) with 4 extensions around the house
  • MeshCentral for managing my family’s PC’s and also doing remote tech support for family, friends and customers as necessary
  • FOGProject for imaging PC’s and VM’s as necessary
  • ReactiveResume
  • Docker Registry set up as a caching proxy
  • YoutubeDL-Material
  • Karaoke Eternal for those nights when you just get drunk enough to karaoke

Then there’s a whole host of ancillary services; BackupPC, Unifi controller container, piHole on a couple of Raspberry Pi’s, ts-dnsserver for internal DNS management… probably a dozen other containers and tools I’m forgetting.

Oh yeah, and a Synology NAS as a backup target :)

Fellow self-hoster, you mention Droppy – I can only find an archived repo (https://github.com/silverwind/droppy). Do you have any other source?

No, that’s what I’m using. Thankfully it works fine and I don’t worry too much about security because I just leave it turned off until I need it. The “/droppy” url directs to it but if it’s off then it just throws an error back.

Script kiddies these days got really fast. Configured a new subdomain, started droppy, within a couple seconds, all types of requests were visible in the log.

I respect the enterprise-level IT operation you run for your family lol

What’s it like hosting your own mail? Been considering it for a while but Gmail features/spam filter/deliverability has been tough to beat.

Create a post

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.
