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?
I started to answer your question with a list of stuff and then deleted the lot and started again:
What are you really after? Do you fancy a challenge or what?
ATM I have the following running:
- Caddy
- NextCloud
- Webpress
- Plex
- Actual Budget
- Portainer
- Vaultwarden
- Grafana
- Stable Diffusion
- QBT
- *arr stack
- 4 Debian instances with differing bits and bobs on
- MIT Scratch
- Neon KDE (Drives lounge TV)
- Win10 and 11 vms
- TrueNAS
- OpnSense
- Homepage
- Navidrome
- SoulSeek
it’s an i5 13xxx with 64GB ram and a HBA passed through to TrueNAS with 7 disks on it and a second network card passed through to OpnSense for WAN/LAN
All the above runs in Proxmox and has a bit of room for expansion still ;) This was a 50th to myself to replace an IBM M4 space heater
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 :)
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.
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.
