Currently all containerised running on a debian VM on a Rockylinux Qemu/KVM hypervisor. Initially I was using rocky+podman but inevitably hit something I wanted to run that just straight up needed docker and was too much effort to try and get working. 🤷
Hardware is an circa 2012 gaming machine with a few ZFS raids for all of my Linux ISOs. It lives an extremely tortured existence and longs for the sweet release of death.
Toying with the idea of migrating it all to on-prem virtualised kubernetes cluster using helm charts to manage the stacks and using NFS mounts for persistent storage because I hate myself (and to upskill I guess)
I used to self host everything but nowadays I value my time too much so I have moved my data to google drive and back it up to a local hard disk periodically. Photos go to iCloud and google photos. iCloud is running my email domain (previously was google domains/gmail)
I still do run a Plex server with my shield tv pro but that’s mostly to access my TV tuner as I stream my media from google drive directly instead.
I just got tired of taking time away from my family to troubleshoot my services or just live with downtime. I did run a $5 linode to host things for awhile but eventually it just became more cost effective to just refactor things to run natively on various cloud services. I even just redesigned my personal website/blog to run on google sites
I still love to follow the self hosted community, someday I will take my data back just not right now.
I had you till you got to running your blog on google sites. Like not even blogger, but straight up google sites. As someone who tried using google sites for this purpose, I wrote one post and I was like, not doing it, it is too much.
No, I’m using it’s FTP based triggers. Since most cameras can upload snapshots to FTP servers when there’s motion, Shinobi has a feature to trigger motion with FTP.
Plex, nzb/sonarr/lidarr/radar/, homeassistant, AD, vpn, teamspeak, lemmy, a blog, wifi controller, cert authority, Pi-hole, mail relay, all data/files etc, backups of email from workspace, zabbix for monitoring, miniflux, windows update cache, quicken server
Nextcloud, Jellyfin, my own personal photography website, and a Valheim server, all done via docker-compose because I haven’t spent the time to learn other container tech yet. I’ve been hearing a lot about podman, what are the benefits over docker for you?
Mainly selected podman for the security, it doesn’t rely on a daemon and supported rootless containers before docker did. Easy to just come up with a pattern where you can minimise the risk of container breakout by having a user for each container stack to provide even more isolation. You can do the same with docker these days I think, each user just runs their own copy of the docker daemon.
The aim of the project was to achieve 1:1 compatibility, I think it’s pretty close these days.
It’s also native to the Redhat family so could avoid using the community edition of Docker.
Thanks! I’ll check it out. I am in the process of building a new hosting machine (my old QNAP NAS died) so I think now’s a good time as any to switch to a new container tech.
Docker is still what 95% of people think of when you talk containers and you may encounters issues, particularly running things rootlessly as it’s not a use-case that developers necessarily support.
Not to discourage you at all, experimentation is great, but be prepared for thorns. 👍
I run basically all of the Arr stack, Plex (more friendly to my less tech savvy family then my preferred solution Jellyfin), HAss, Frigate NVR, Obsidian LiveSync, a few Minecraft worlds, Docspell, Tandoor recipes, gitea, Nextcloud, FoundryVTT, an internet radio station, syncthing, Wireguard, ntfy, calibre, searx, traefik, Wallabag, FreshRSS, Kopia, Navidrome, and a few pet projects.
I don’t really know what I’m doing so I’m currently banging my head against a wall trying to get nextcloud to work alongside a wordpress site both in docker, and this Lemmy is on a linode. I know a lot more about self hosting than I did a month ago that’s for sure, I wonder how long until I start trying to use ssh in my dreams.
I feel this pain. Trying to figure out how to get my HomeAssistant docker install to talk to the rest of my network and HomeKit is driving me up a wall. Integrating things by IP address is not fun lol But I know so much more than when I started doing it!
Running on a total of 5 fanless commercial grade sign PCs. That’s why the motto of my websites is “this site runs of parts scavenged from a roadside sign”
1x core 2 duo running Lemmy
2x atom d2550s running xmpp, matrix, lotide, searx, nostr, and invidious
2x core i5 4000 series running everything else
I try to run bare metal so I can stick my fingers into things.

Love keeping that old tech alive! My Core 2 Duo died a couple of years back, if I could figure out a way to leverage old mobile phones for some sort of project I would.

Totally respect that, I question my sanity frequently

Yeah google sites is not a great platform for a blog. I chose it for aesthetic reasons and not functionality for sure
Jellyfin, Shinobi, and more recently NextCloud. Looking into Home Assistant and Paperless.
Shinobi’s on a Pi4 and the Jellyfin/NC are on a mini PC.
Had never heard of Shinobi, looks interesting - are you using the
bear+elephanttensorflow object detection?No, I’m using it’s FTP based triggers. Since most cameras can upload snapshots to FTP servers when there’s motion, Shinobi has a feature to trigger motion with FTP.
Just navidrome & the Synology suite (drive, photos, video)
I’m lazy 🫠
Lazy is good… I try not to think about the time I’ve invested in this stuff
Thank you for your service

Probably more.
Nice - what are you using to cache windows updates? LANcache?
Straight up wsus with a nightly script to keep it from fucking itself up.
AD and wsus? Do you need a paid license to run that?
My job pays for a visual studio dev kit that gets windows server keys. Though I may move to samba 4 And just drop wsus entirely

Look at Mr. Moneybags over here running Matrix Synapse on his Cray supercomputer! ;P

Nothing 😀but I’m still enjoying the community
Mailcow for selfhosted email.
All in docker containers on an Ubuntu NUC
EDIT - also got a dedicated pivpn (wireguard+pihole) on a pizero and time machine server + borg backup server on a pi4 running yunohost

Now that you’ve written this? Tonight. It’ll happen tonight.

I’ve always called it ‘ghetto IT’ personally.
I’m not a huge fan of PC fans if I can help it, since I know they’re one of the points of failure (and they’re also loud)
I like the idea of using old smart phones too, I figure if you used something like a nexus 5x maybe you could pull it off with a powered USB-C hub?
My dream was to find a way to leverage them as poor man’s IP camera or something …one day…
I think there’s already apps for that.
Only PiHole and Nextcloud
Some are used way more than others, but here is my list.
(Probably some underutilized app I’m forgetting)
