We’re doing Christmas dinner this year.

• Openhab (smarthome controller)
• Zigbee2mqtt (converts zigbee devices to talk mqtt)
• Mosquitto (Mqtt server)
• frigate
• Jellyfin
• Jellyseerr
• Radarr, sonarr, lidarr, bazarr, prowlarr
• transmission + a VPN tunnel
• Uptime Kuma
• Prometheus, Telegraf
• Grafana
• Influxdb, chronograf
• Three PiHole instances, synced with Orbital Sync
• Unifi Controller

And some small services to pipe metrics into Grafana dashboards for apps that don’t have native support for metrics. Most of this is managed through Docker with a Traefik reverse proxy with letsencrypt certs for https.

My most useful so far has to be openhab. I’m barely using it to it’s full potential but it’s so freeing to be able to buy (nearly) any smart device and know I can integrate it with the rest of my system. It also allows me to block Internet access to most of my smart devices completely for added privacy.

Second most useful is probably the Jellyfin/*arr stack to manage and view my collection. Soon I’m planning on adding either Calibre or something similar for books to sort my ebooks and old digital textbooks.

And once you have two or three services, monitoring obviously helps. I honestly wish I had set it up earlier, in particular Uptime Kuma for general uptime tracking. It would have saved me so much time pinging all my services to try to diagnose issues.

@hamtron5000 For personal use:
- TrueNAS with some shares
- Plex
- jDownloader + Transmission
- IPFS node
- Jitsi meet

Vaultwarden, forgejo and nextcloud. I tried matrix and email, but couldn’t get them to work, comrade.

I actually use a real owned server, and host all kinds of my own stuff, along with

Matrix (synapse + element web)

Nextcloud

Etherpad lite

Gitea (have yet to switch to Forgejo)

And gaming servers. AssaultCube was very successful, as it has incredibly low pings, it was full multiple times, and it was incredible fun.

I self host whatever I can within reason. Like I don’t host my own email, used to though! Currently I have the following services on Proxmox:

• Nginx reverse proxy
• Authelia
• Technitium
• Paperless
• FreePBX
• Immich
• LibreNMS
• Gitea
• WikiJS
• Ntfy
• Vaultwarden
• Kasm
• Portainer
• Matter most

And a few smattering of others that I spin up as needed or for testing things.

On an old raspberry pi 3b, a copy of a blog by one of my favorite writers (the original is long gone and was never archived, I happened to grab a copy with wget when it came back up briefly) so I can read it when I’m on my home network. And a pi hole dns adblocker.

I’m hoping to set up some kind of media system for streaming eventually, but we currently use a PS4 as our media center and it doesn’t look like our options for compatibe apps are great.

I’d definitely like to get a local Mealie instance going in the next year

i have two old PCs refurbished as Ubuntu servers running the latest LTS version.

machine the first: - Taskwarrior - Taskserver - Docker and Docker Compose - local media and stuff on a 2TB NAS

machine the second: - Docker and Docker compose - Jitsi Meet server - Rustdesk server

coming soon: - PiHole - Unbound DNS - Plex (maybe) - Mealie (possibly with a dedicated ancient iPad that will live in the kitchen) - BirdNET-Pi

also possibly a home weather station built out of a Raspberry Pi 4B that is on order; i love the idea of having one of these in my backyard to track our microclimate.

NixOS on an AMD mini itx board.

My home servers currently consists of 3 old laptops and 1 old desktop computer, all these computers run Proxmox and clustered together.

Laptops:

• HP ProBook 6470b
• Packard Bell EasyNote
• Dell Inspiron 1520

Desktop:

• HP envy 700-204eo

On the cluster I have these things installed

Always running:

• GitLab
• Minetest server
• Jellyfin
• Nextcloud
• Dashy
• FreshRSS
• BookStack

Not running:

• VM with Linux Mint
• VM with Haiku
• VM with FreeBSD
• VM with FreeDOS

pi 4 with yunohost:

• freshrss
• nextcloud
• navidrome
• transmission

I have a single Proxmox host running:

• Apache reverse proxy
• 2x PiHole
• Jellyfin
• UniFi Controller
• Sonarr
• Radarr
• Lidarr
• Readarr
• Prowlarr
• NextCloud
• Deluge
• MySQL
• HomeAssistant
• OpenSense firewall
• Zoneminder
• Lemmy (with Alexandrite)
• RockStor NAS
• Windows 10 workstation

My server is a pc I built maybe 8 years ago for YouTube streaming back when I still ran my channel. It’s running Ubuntu server 20.04, but I’m planning a rebuild soon with an upgrade to whatever is the latest lts when I actually do the rebuilt. Currently hosting via Docker

• Portainer
• NGINX proxy manager
• Jellyfin
• Navidrome
• Kavita
• Audiobookshelf
• Matrix (synapse, but moving to dendrite when I rebuild)
• Mealie
• Baserow
• Homepage
• Ntfy
• Seafile

I’d really like some kind of google docs replacement. I used to run Nextcloud and tried adding OnlyOffice Document Server probably half a dozen times and it never worked for me. Documents created wouldn’t sync, couldn’t be edited from another machine, and generally just failed at the basics of providing a server based document solution.
