Hey everyone. So I’ll try to keep the post short. I have selfhosting for roughly 5 years quite few apps with Yunohost with a static ip address in an i3 3rd generation, namely the below:
Nextcloud. Used for documents backup-sync, calendar and contacts sync, Joplin folder sync, also in the past Photos uplod folder from the mobile (we can call it webDav). In addition online remote documents edits and that’s about it. Nextcloud does not causes any major issue but I am kinda afraid to each upgrade that might screw things up.
Vaultwarden
Baikal. Mainly Because I wanted to try it and get away from Nextcloud better late than never.
Firefly III. Because, budget. Not actively using it. I have set up some automations for expenses but I do not enter either manually nor importing transactions via the Importer (never made it to work).
FreshRSS
Syncthing. Userd mainly for Obsidian sync.
Wallabag.
Webmin.
Roundcube for Yunohost’s mails only since port 25 is blocked by my ISP.
I also selfost inhouse via DOCKER (arr stack and Jellyfin) in a SFF desktop HP, Ryzen 7, 65gb Ram, with a 256 GM SSD for Linux Mint, 4TB SSD (movies, tv series, music), a 1TB SSD for additional temp storage and a 4TB external HDD as also media storage (movies, tv series, photos). This machine is blocked access from the outside since I do not need it. In case I want to access to put some downloads in a queue then I have setup a wireguard tunnel. Note that I play media with a NVIDIA Shield TV (LineageOS flashed) so no transcoding is done or necessary.
Now, to the juicy stuff. Ideally I would like for now keep the Yunohost as is BUT want to tidy ip the inhouse one. Since I might get rid of the HP desktop I am thinking to invest in a new PC with the below characteristics:
i5-12600K
64 GB RAM
256 SSD for OS or thinking also Proxmox
4 HDDs roughly 12T each for storage in RAID 5.
The idea is to:
Continue run the arr stack in Docker since I have the docker compose file ready
Set up a NAS. Please recommend any solution (eg. TrueNas, how, docker, lxc, VM?). This should be setup as main files dump for media, documents etc.
Future use in case the Yunohost server is removed from the static IP address (currently in another location)
RAID 5 is an excessive setup you think?
Does the above seem an overkill or should I simplify the current setup? Investing in a new server of approx 1000-1500€ is OK including also the HDDs.
Uh, I’m not super up to date any more. I installed YunoHost a long time ago and it’s been running fine most of the time, I haven’t installed anything new in the last year or so. I like it. I don’t think i have any broad advice, except the usual. Do your backups in case a harddisk fails. And don’t mess with the config manually (too much) or you might run into problems.
I’m mainly using it to self-host my e-mail, Matrix chat, Peertube and Nextcloud. Have stored all the calendars and contacts stored there and sync it to my phone and computer. Have smaller websites running as a custom_webapp. And I use the reverse proxy to make Home Assistant and a few side-projects and experiments accessible from outside.
