I am currently using Alpine linux on my servers and arch linux on my laptop but I plan on switching my laptop to alpine this summer. I am currently using the sway window manager and I used awesome wm before that.

- ergo (irc server)
- akkoma
- prosody (xmpp)
- conduit (matrix)
- nextcloud
- soju (irc bouncer)

- unbound/dnsmasq
- isso (selfhosted comments server)
- smbd and nfs server
- pivpn wireguard
- minecraft stuff in seperate ubuntu vm:
- pterodactyl panel
- pterodactyl daemon
- probably something else I forget
- currently just running a monero miner as I have not been playing minecraft recently.
Hardware: Main server Ryzen 7 3900XT with 64GB of ram, two 240GB ssds running in raid1, two 4tb hard drives running in raid1, running proxmox with mostly alpine linux VMs
Secondary Server: Intel nuc running alpinelinux, only running secondary unbound/dnsmasq server so if my main server goes down, dns still works.
Late 2013 iMac: I was using it to run an iMessage to matrix bridge but I was not able to get it to work so now I just vnc into it to text. (suggestions welcome as vnc is annoying)
I also have another intel nuc that does not do anything.
All of these servers are connected to an APC back-ups UPS.
I run my own on digitalocean. I used https://github.com/lukesmithxyz/emailwiz to set it up. I do not use it as my main email account. Relating to hosting it with your own hardware, your isp probably blocks forwarding port 25 which would make that impossible.
APK, the alpine linux package manager. It is very fast, faster than pacman and it blows apt and dnf out of the water and APKBUILDS are not too hard to write.

I had used mastodon, akkoma and peertube before learning about Lenny when the Reddit stuff happened. I have never had an account on twitter and rarely used my Reddit account.
All the time on both my laptop and my 4 screen desktop. I use swaysome with sway to get awesome wm style workspaces for sway.
