Either self-hosted or cloud, I assume many of you keep a server around for personal things. And I’m curious about the cool stuff you’ve got running on your personal servers.

What services do you host? Any unique stuff? Do you interact with it through ssh, termux, web server?

    Minetest server, arr suite, plex, Pihole, calibre, homesssistant, Nextcloud.

    Interact with it through a Homarr webpage and all of it is virtualized through proxmox.

      I’ve been a software engineer for 8 years and I’ve had my own Jellyfin server (and before that, Plex) set up for 4 years on a server that I built myself.

      Despite this, I don’t have a damn clue what “virtualized through Proxmox” means any time I read it.

        They are just running things in VMs. They may even have a cluster with some sort of high availability.

          Or containers, but lxc instead of docker-like. They’re like full VMs in operation but super lightweight. Perfect for some needs.

    Multiple hosts. Win2024/hyperv and proxmox

    • domain/dns/dhcp/ncp 2x
    • pihole
    • iobroker (smarthome)
    • sonarr/radarr/orowlarr
    • emby
    • sabnzbd
    • vpn-vm for torrent/soulseek
    • searxng
    • dav for calendar
    • caddy (for emby/dav from outside)
    • firefly (banking)

    And some minor, less important ones.

    All backup to a central server, which does a daily backup of the backup onto another nas. In case of emergency,just grab nas.

    I use Docker and (currently) VMware and host whatever I need for as long (or short) as I need it.

    This allows me to keep everything separate and isolated and prevents incompatible stuff interacting with each other. In addition, after I’m done with a test, I can dispose of the experiment without needing to track down spurious files or impacting another project.

    I also use this to run desktop software by only giving a container access to the specific files I want it to access.

    I’m in the process of moving this to AWS, so I have less hardware in my office whilst gaining more flexibility and accessibility from alternative locations.

    The ultimate aim is a minimal laptop with a terminal and a browser to access what I need from wherever I am.

    One side effect of this will be the opportunity to make some of my stuff public if I want to without needing to start from scratch, just updating permissions will achieve that.

    One step at a time :)

    Self hosted retro private EQemu, I also use the server for Jellyfin, just for music.

    I used to use it to control my window AC from work too, but sadly the smart plug I use for that died over the winter, was nice to pair with those tuya-alternative through http since my cheapo phone needs to save all the storage it can. Its on a very old rig, so I’m always impressed that it still works.

    You might like to search this community, and also \c\self_hosted, since this question gets asked a lot.

    For me:

    • Audiobookshelf
    • Navidrome
    • FreshRss
    • Jellyfin
    • Forgejo
    • Memos
    • Planka
    • File Storage
    • Immich
    • Pihole
    • Syncthing
    • Dockge

    I created two things - CodeNotes (for snippets) and a lil’ Weather app myself 'cause I didn’t like what I found out there.

        I love it. I do use it on mobile, in my browser too. I’ve been meaning too see what other clients are available for android.

    Two old HP thin client PCs configured as 4TB SFTP file servers using vsftpd on Debian. Each one uses software RAID 1 with both an NVMe and SATA SSD internally, and are in two separate locations with a cron job which syncs one to the other every 24 hours.

    People who actually know what they are doing will probably find this silly, but I had fun and learned a lot setting it up.

      tell me about the cron thing. im thinking of doing just that on mine for backup.

      are you scping them together?

        I am using lftp and mirror. One server functions as the “main” server, which mirrors the backup server to itself once per day at a specific time (they both run 24/7 so I set it to run very early in the morning when it is unlikely to be accessed).

        In my crontab I have:

        # # * * * /usr/bin/lftp -e "mirror -eRv [folder path on main server] [folder path on backup server]; quit;" sftp://[user]@[address of backup server]:[port number]

    Headless server accessed via SSH. Hosting Jellyfin, FoundryVTT, a Discord bot that I just mess around with, and also use it to run an IRC client inside screen.

    Just Jellyfin and modded Minecraft right now. Nothing super interesting, but great fun.

    I’m using SSH to interact with the Minecraft server in tmux, and the web interface for Jellyfin.

    On my Raspberry Pi 4 4gb with encrypted sd is:

    • pihole
    • wireguard server
    • vaultwarden
    • cloudflare ddns
    • nginx proxy manager
    • my website
    • ntfy server
    • findmydevice server
    • watchtower

    Pi is overkill for this kind of job. Load average is only 0.7% and ram usage is only 400M

      can you tell us how you got this running with an encrypted SD card?

        That was really hard to do. I created a note for myself and I will also publish it on my website. You can also decrypt the sd using fido2 hardware key (I have a nitrokey). If you don’t need that just skip steps that are for fido2.

        The note:

        Download the image.

        Format SD card to new DOS table:

        • Boot: 512M 0c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
        • Root: 83 Linux

        As root:

        xz -d 2023-12-11-raspios-bookworm-arm64-lite.img.xz
losetup -fP 2023-12-11-raspios-bookworm-arm64-lite.img
dd if=/dev/loop0p1 of=/dev/mmcblk0p1 bs=1M
cryptsetup luksFormat --type=luks2 --cipher=xchacha20,aes-adiantum-plain64 /dev/mmcblk0p2
systemd-cryptenroll --fido2-device=auto /dev/mmcblk0p2
cryptsetup open /dev/mmcblk0p2 root

e2fsck -f /dev/mapper/root
resize2fs -f /dev/mapper/root
mount /dev/mapper/root /mnt
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/boot/firmware
arch-chroot /mnt

        In chroot:

        apt update && apt full-upgrade -y && apt autoremove -y && apt install cryptsetup-initramfs fido2-tools jq debhelper git vim -y
git clone https://github.com/bertogg/fido2luks && cd fido2luks
fakeroot debian/rules binary && sudo apt install ../fido2luks*.deb
cd .. && rm -rf fido2luks*

        Edit /etc/crypttab:

        root            /dev/mmcblk0p2          none            luks,keyscript=/lib/fido2luks/keyscript.sh

        Edit /etc/fstab:

        /dev/mmcblk0p1    /boot/firmware  vfat    defaults          0       2
/dev/mapper/root  /               ext4    defaults,noatime  0       1

        Change root to /dev/mapper/root and add cryptdevice=/dev/mmcblk0p2:root to /boot/firmware/cmdline.txt.

        PATH="$PATH:/sbin"
update-initramfs -u

        Exit chroot and finish!

        umount -R /mnt

    -Jellyfin: for playing media that I totally own and surely did no obtain by any obscure way.

    -Qbittorrent: for reasons completely unrelated to the previous one.

    -Amule: see above.

    -Synapse (matrix server): overly complex way to send myself notifications from the server to my phone.

    -FreshRSS: to have a self hosted RSS feed server. Could I use an android app for the same thing? Sure. But it’s more fun and headache inducing this way.

    -TubeArchivist: Because I want to offload some of that cost inducing bandwidth that is making those poor YouTube executives to keep pushing more aggressive ads on their platform. I’m just that nice.

    -Caddy: because I’m just lazy.

    -Crowdsec: Because I’m just paranoid.

    On an orangepi5, managed via webUIs and SSH: -Home Assistant and associated programs (notably zigbee2mqtt and nodered) -Pihole

    8TB Unraid NAS managed via Unraid’s webui -Whooole *arr stack -Jellyfin -Mealie

    Thinking about nextcloud for the next one.
