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?

    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.

        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]

    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 :)

    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 have an orangepi zero 3 with pihole

    Then an ITX PC with

    • mealie (meal planner, recipe parser, grocery list maker with a bunch of features and tools)

    • immich for self hosting a google photos alternative

    • *arr stack for torrenting Linux ISOs

    • Jellyfin for LAN media playing

    • home assistant for my VW car, our main hanging renovation lights, smoke and CO monitors, and in the future, all of the KNX smart systems in our house

    • Syncthing for syncing photo backup and music library with phone

    • Bookstack for a wiki, todos, journal, etc… (Because I didn’t want to install better services for journals when I don’t use it much)

    • paperless-ngx for documents

    • leantime for managing my personal projects, tasks, and timing

    • Valheim game server

    • Calibre-web for my eBook library backup

    • I had nextcloud but it completely broke on an update and I can’t even see the login fields anymore, it just loads forever until it takes down my network and server, so I ditched it since I never used it anyway

    • crowdsec for much better (preemptive) security than fail2ban

    • traefik for reverse proxy
