What services do you selfhost?

I'm curious to see what other furs are selfhosting.

The things I selfhost are:

  • Navidrome (music server)
  • SilverBullet (note taking with login access via website)
  • Synapse (Matrix server)
  • Cinny (Matrix client)
  • Uptime Kuma (simple uptime monitoring tool) (only internal)
  • Focalboard (project management) (only internal)
  • Caddy (reverse proxy to manage all other services)

I used to selfhost:

  • Nextcloud
  • Etherpad
  • wg-easy

  • The things I currently selfhost are:

    • Grafana (Graph server stats)
    • Forgejo (Personal git forge)
    • Stirling pdf (PDF manipulation)
    • Synapse
    • NPM (proxy manager)
    • Immich (Image backup and storage)
    • Jellyfin (Media streaming)
    • Speedtest tracker
    • MC server

    Always searching for other interesting and useful things to selfhost 😅 For Matrix I'm currently using the Element client, what is your experience with Cinny? Would you recommend it?

    • Cinny supports custom emoji reactions and stickers, enough said :P

      More seriously, yes. It looks very good, has the right amount of settings, and it's pretty intuitive. It doesn't do the silly thing Element does for stickers where you need to selfhost a webpage (for which I shall forever be salty about), you can just join a stickers room and enable stickers globally or just add stickers manually.

  • at home I just have a jellyfin running on a repurposed gaming pc, which I plan to put a caddy on eventually some day hopefully

    otherwise online (which admittedly is a little less self-hosted) I've got a server with FoundryVTT on it, and one with me blog (full Django with automated gunicorn and all; I got the thing coded, deployed, and running as professionally as possible to see how much I could do by myself. took me two months but worth it)

  • I have an absolutely insane amount of things running across two machines right now because I’m a moron. XD

    But the ones that actually see a significant amount of usage are:

    • Romm (Video game rom archive)
    • Plex & Jellyfin (Movie and TV streaming)
    • Komga (Book/Comic/Manga archive)
    • Nextcloud (File/Cloud storage)
    • Metube (YouTube downloader)
    • Overseer/Sonarr/Radarr (Media Requests for Plex)
    • PeerTube (Fedi YouTube)
    • Pixelfed (Fedi Instagram)
    • Mastodon (You all know what this is lol)
    • Audiobookshelf (Audiobook archive)
    • Immich (Photo backup and organization)
    • Mealie (Recipe manager)
    • Vikunja (To-do list app)

  • Currently:

    • Caddy (reverse proxy & website)
    • Matrix (Synapse)
    • E-Mail (maddy)
    • Vaultwarden
    • Xonotic server
    • Resonite headless
    • Prometheus + Grafana (internal, monitoring)
    • dnscrypt-proxy & dnsmasq (for internal DNS)
    • gotosocial (testing)
    • cage (kiosk wayland compositor) with kitty and btop for a nice stat display on the device

    All of it running from a phone with Linux :3

    I used to have Nextcloud on this thing, but I found it to be insanely heavy for what it does and not very useful when I can just chuck files to the web server if I want to share them.

  • When I was hosting game servers (mostly modded Minecraft) I'd always self-host them. I've never been a fan of using hosting services for these as from my experience they tend to perform poorly by comparison.

  • I have 3 servers

    one is maw.best, which has:

    • treafik (reverse proxy, needed for the rest)
    • pixelfed
    • funkwhale
    • flohmarkt

    then another server to the outside

    • traefik (again ~)
    • nextcloud with onlyoffice
    • excalidraw
    • etherpad (will be removed soon)
    • matrix (inactive for now)
    • moodle
    • portainer
    • rocket.chat (mattermost and zulip didn't work with traefik sadly)
    • snikket
    • gotosocial
    • wekan
    • webtrees

    and a home server:

    • traefik (again, yes I really like that tool it has fail2ban and I only have port443 open)
    • nextcloud + only office
    • homeassistent + grafana +mosquitto (for smarthome stuff)
    • jellyfin (love that one <3)
    • paperless-ngx
    • pihole (as DNS actually)
    • plantuml
    • portainer
    • searchxng
    • szurubooru (I have the images of my OCs and my Fursona there or else my head would probably explode)
    • vaultwarden

    dunno I sometimes just up a service because I want to try to get it to run with traefik and leave it running for a while and then I shut it down.
