I host a nextcloud sever (snap) and a minecraft server on a laptop I no longer use

I run a bunch of bots, some databases plus

• Jellyfin
• Unifi controller
• Radar
• Sonarr
• Lidarr
• Bazarr
• nzbhydra2
• Sabnzbd
• Heimdall
• Twitch points miner 2

I’m running a Kubernetes cluster on the Dell hardware, then another single node k8s cluster on the Lenovo, mostly to run Adguard home / DNS in case the big cluster goes down for whatever reason.

Hardware:

• Two Dell r610s, each with 12 cores and 96 GB of RAM, running ESXi 6.7
• Lenovo M900, 4 core, 16 GB RAM, Ubuntu and k3s
• Synology 1515 with 12 TB usable
• Synology 1517 with 32 TB usable
• Juniper SRX 220H (Firewall)
• Juniper EX 2200 48 port switch
• UnFi in-wall WiFi APs

I run the following services, all in Kubernetes, with FluxCD doing GitOps from a repo in GitHub (for now, might move to Gitea later):

• Authentik
• Bookstack
• Calibre
• Flame (Homepage)
• Frigate NVR
• Home Assistant
• Memos
• Monica
• Plex
• Prowlarr
• Radarr
• Rocket Chat
• Sonarr
• Tandoor
• Tautulli
• Unifi
• UptimeKuma
• VS Code
• Zigbee2MQTT

• Two NextCloud instances, one is a RPi4 with a big external HDD which I use for backups, the other one contains everything else, including PhoneTrack. Happy to have a self-hosted privacy-friendly way to share my location with family.
• Email using mailcow.
• Jabber server using prosody. Using it with immediate family and two friends. Still super happy.
• Web server including personal blogs. Currently looking to migrate away from Wordpress into something static without comments.
• pihole
• Half-finished home automation stuff.

Hi there. My first post in this community.

I’m currently running:

• Pi-hole
• Plex Media Server
• Grafana
• Torrent server
• Monica
• Shaarli
• Matrix instance
• Arch package cache
• Several game servers such as Minecraft and Terraria
• VM running Volvo software to troubleshoot my cars.

My hardware: I used to run it all on a Supermicro x9drd-7ln4f-jbod with dual Xeon E5-2670 v2 with 16x16GB ECC ram and 6x 3TB disks in raidz2 for storage and 2x 60gb Intel SSDs for OS. I started with less and upgraded towards this configuration but it was consuming 300 watt idle which was just unacceptable.

So earlier this year I upgraded to an ASRock Rack x470D4U with Ryzen 7 5700x and 4x32GB ECC (non-registered) ram and 6x 2TB SSDs in raidz2. 1 ssd is in the nvme slot on the motherboard, 4 are in a 4x4 bifurcation card in the 16x slot and 1 more in a 4x riser. All PCIe lanes of the CPU are used. This setup is not possible with an AMD CPU with integrated GPU since it will take up 4 PCIe lanes (you can guess how I know). It uses about 20 watt idle without any containers and VMs running. I initially didn’t want to move away from Supermicro but the ASRock Rack motherboard has IPMI so I’m not missing out on much.

Hardware and software suggestions are welcome :D

So… ODroid N2+ is hosting a Home Assistant. Nothing to add.

I have an old Intel Nuc nuc5cpyh that is currently hosting my WordPress blog at https://some-techy-tinkering.com/. Made it self-hosted a month ago and can’t be happier.

The last machine is Intel Nuc nuc7i7bnh with 2 TBs of internal and 4.5 TBs of external drives. This is my main server with:

• Nginx Proxy Manager
• Nextcloud
• Various *arr services
• qBittorrent
• Plex

Lemmy, mostly :D. I also recently started up my own Matrix home server. I took a stab at email, but it was more trouble than it’s worth considering my relatively newly acquired cloud hosting IP is on several blacklists. Now that I actually have a server running again Gitea might be next on the list of services that gets added.

A bunch (47 containers at present)… Won’t list them here as its kind of redundant with what a lot of other people are running. My latest is Lemmy (lemmy.nine-hells.net).

Available from internet:

• jellyfin
• jellyseerr
• immich
• paperless-ngx
• owncloud ocis
• traefik
• homarr

Available only from local:

• the *arr stack
• qbittorrent
• jackett
• watchtower
• apprise
• netdata (kinda new, still have to fully understand how it works)
• portainer
• speedtest-tracker
• homepage

Security

All the services available from internet, just goes through traefik to terminate https, I rely on the build in authentication of each service. To add another layer of security, I have fail2ban active on all those services.

I have a public IP, and I have open on my router ports 80, 443, a random port for ssh and vpn.

Hardware:

Memory:
  System RAM: total: 8 GiB available: 7.73 GiB used: 4.46 GiB (57.7%)
  Report: arrays: 1 slots: 4 modules: 2 type: DDR3
CPU:
  Info: 6-core model: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T bits: 64 type: MCP cache: L2: 3 MiB
Graphics:
  Device-1: NVIDIA GP107 [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti] driver: nvidia v: 535.98

docker compose files

All the docker compose files + how I configured everything is available at: https://github.com/simone-viozzi/my-server

Bonus:

Since I like the ability of btrfs to do snapshots, I created all important docker volumes as btrfs subvolumes. Then I created a backup script that literally sends the subvolume (encrypted) to an external cloud. This does not allow incremental backups and most likely is not the best backup solution… but it works… the repo is: https://github.com/simone-viozzi/btrfs2cloud-backup

I welcome any advice / criticism!

Everything except Node-exporter running in containers on a single Ubuntu machine. i5-6500T, 16gb RAM & 1TB.

Media Stack

• JellyFin
• Sonarr
• Radarr
• Calibre
• Calibre-Web

IT Stack

• FreshRSS
• IT-Tools
• Prometheus
• Grafanna
• Node-Exporter
• Watchtower

I got

• A RAID NAS for general
• A Firefly-iii instance for expense analysis and stuff
• And MQTT broker for my ESP32 projects
• A webdav server for calendar and address book syncing and general file syncing for some things like joplin

There are probably other things that I don’t remember right now.

In terms of hardware I got a 6 core AMD 5600X machine with a 5700XT GPU and 16GB of ram for almost all my services and personal use.

I also have an AMD 3600 machine with 3x8TB harddrives for network storage.

I’m hosting Trillium Note for my personal note taking.

• Sonarr

• Radarr

• Lidarr

• Notifiarr

Currently split between VMs and physicals. I’m refactoring these ,with plans to build out and migrate much of it to a minipc proxmox cluster.

Adding:

• proxmox

• podman/portainer

• unbound

• ngnx proxy mgr

• Solid server

• homepage

• matrix

• searxng

• some sort of mail stack, TBD

I have a meager ds418play with 2x4tb drives set up with RAID. I forget what it’s called, but it is one drive redundancy, 1:1. I run Plex and an FTP server on it for file storage.

Virtualized with libvirt:

• Nomad (3 nodes)
• Consul (3 nodes)
• Vault (3 nodes)
• Gitlab + CI
• Nextcloud
• Sonarr, radarr, bazarr, jackett, deluge
• Prometheus
• opensearch
• puppet
• powerdns (international authoritive main + replica), unbound (internal recursor), ntp (2 nodes)
• powerdns (public authoritive replica)
• haproxy (2 nodes)
• nfs, samba
• Seaweedfs (S3) (3 nodes)
• rsnapshot
• package repositories (deb, rpm - plain dirs/files served by apache, with some scripts to manage repo metadata)
• postgresql + patroni (2 nodes)
• container registry (to investigate replacing with zot)
• openldap, keycloak (2 nodes)
• unifi controller

In nomad:

• Grafana
• Vaultwarden
• Tandoor
• Matrix
• Puppetboard
• Prometheus exporters for various things

Offsite rpi @ parents

• Rsnapshot, samba

Rpi doing router duties, to be replaced with rb3011 when I finalize it’s config in terraform

VPS:

• Powerdns (public authoritive primary), haproxy, postfix (secondary MX)
• Postfix (primary MX), dovecot, spamassassin, opendmarc, opendkim

Old laptop: k8s playground for learning

Short-term todo:

• Homeassistant

Public dns names have A records pointing to haproxy vps, which proxies to home over tunnel, and AAAA records pointing straight to home (I have static ipv6 prefix, but no static ipv4 address)
