I get my hosting for free from my workplace, which is cool but doesn’t give me much leeway on what I can install. It’s a plain PHP/MySQL system. Docker is out, and a lot of stuff with it. I’d run a server from apartment if I could, since I’m sitting on piles of old hardware, but I’ve yet to figure a way around my ever-changing IP address.
Right now, I have FreshRSS and my own websites, and Rss Bridge
I’d love to run more “Old School Tools”, I just need to find them :)
I haven’t played with it yet, and I know some people don’t like Cloudflare, but a Cloudflare tunnel to your apartment infra might just do what you want.
I believe I’m at 42 Docker containers now, lol. Some of the notable ones:
Plex
Vaultwarden
Home Assistant (plus Node-RED, zwave JS, and mqtt)
NPM
Pihole
All the “arr” stuff
Nextcloud
Portainer
FreshRSS
There is a lot of support stuff too like MariaDB and orbital-sync.
I’m going to be working on Lemmy when I get back from vacation but I leave in like 2 hours so that’s going to have to wait, lol.
By in large, the docker makes it stupid easy for the vast majority of my containers and portainer makes it even easier since you can manage everything through a web UI.
Is there something killer about FreshRSS that makes you host that rather than using the Nextcloud RSS reader support? I used to have TT-RSS before I dropped it and my filesyncinc stuff for Nextcloud.
Not as much as I probably should be! I have a nice little Proxmox cluster, backed by a UPS and a beefy NAS, but mostly I use it for fussing around with stuff, playing with instances, nothing really mission critical.
This is likely not the thread for it, but I’ve been wanting to look for some kind of guide to self hosting for someone who’s never done it before. Once I get out of my lease that, while it includes internet, prohibits me from running any kind of servers, I want to potentially look into starting something, although that would also involve me getting a dedicated machine for this. I do have a somewhat old Raspberry Pi 3 from like 2016 I want to say (it has built in WiFi and Bluetooth but as I am currently home, I don’t have the specs on hand atm). The only other two machines are my desktop, which is way too overpowered to be running a server even some of the time, and my laptop, which I want to be able to take with me if I need to go work on something at a coffee shop.
haven’t been hosting super much yet, but it’s definitely growing slowly:
12TB QNAP NAS
Plex
Nextcloud
Sonarr
QBittorrent
The NAS is only really used for file storage and does no processing at all, everything else runs on a small Intel nuc.
Outside of established services, I also host my own small services on the same nuc, but it’s basically only a website and a file-uploading service to use with ShareX
It is amazing, especially when you are on Android and use it as a unified push provider for other apps to circumvent Google as much as possible while saving battery power.
I’ve never got what the point of Home Assistant is, seems to be it’ll talk to a load of smart devices and advertises you can control it with Alexa but at what point why not just have Alexa itsself control the devices?
Sometimes one or the other has a recent updates that causes problems, or a random movie won’t play right. It’s rare, but since both connect to the same NAS where all of my media is stored, running both is pretty easy and it’s nice to have a backup.
If you share your Plex library with friends and family like I do, highly recommend looking into Overseerr! I had tried using OMBI before but it was a pain to get set up–actually I never succeeded and gave up. Overseerr was very simple, just another Docker container like so many others, really. Integration with Radarr and Sonarr was seamless for me.
thanks. I think I tried it some time ago but we end up never using it. we only watch it at home and my mother’s and she just text me when she wants something.
I’m usually a lot of what others are posting. One of my favorites so far has been HumHub. It’s a social media platform that’s like an old-school Facebook before all the news and ads. Currently have about 20ish members and it made available just for my large extended family. A lot of us already left Facebook so it’s nice to have a similar set of features just for us without outside influences.

I’m pretty happy with this lot and at the moment I’m not sure what I want to add. Perhaps some RSS reader, but I don’t think that’ll see much use tbh.

On an unrelated note, does anyone know if lemmy has rss?
Not by default that I am aware.
Lemmy Jellyfin Wireguard so I can access my home network from outside
All three are easy to manage(so far).
Have you tried tailscale? It uses wireguard under the hood, but is much easier to connect multiple devices.
Yes, i have used tailscale. I just use wireguard alone because I find it has better performance in my experience.
That’s good to know. Perhaps I will start using wireguard for direct connections

There are some options for Pis like unraid.
Honestly though, just pick one problem you have and solve that with docker.
Beat your head against the wall trying to figure out the virtualization, volume mapping, permissions and networking.
Then start finding other problems to solve.
I stood up a homelab for media storage and streaming… and it has now grown to 30-40 applications running in parallel.
I suppose my main quandary arises from reaching a point where my apps need more headroom than I have to give

definately adding ntfy to my list

Home assistant has plenty of use cases. it is not only controling devices but also a very powerful automation system. A couple of things I use it for:
-start my laundry only when I have enough solar power to power it
-notify me when my laundry is done
-track energy usage of many devices (heaters, washing and dishwashing machines, A/C,etc)
-let me know when to open or close my windows based on inside and outside temperature
-Force my water heater to turn on when I have solar power
-Expose non-homekit devices to homekit
Solar power? That’s pretty cool, do you use it exclusively or just to bring down energy bills?
Im still connected to the grid. The idea is to use as much as I can from my panels instead of the grid.
What’s the reason for both Plex and Jellyfin?
I use Plex on a daily basis, but Im testing Jellyfin from time to time. so I keep it htere
