Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I know for many of us every day is selfhosting day, but I liked the alliteration. Or do you have fixed dates for maintenance and tinkering?

Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.

This post is proudly sent from my very own Lemmy instance that runs at my homeserver since about ten days. So far, it's been a very nice endeavor.

After just about a month of hosting some things on a Raspberry Pi 4, I think it's about time to work on repurposing this mini PC that hasn't been doing much the last few years and keep growing my services.

To that end, can anyone point me to a good, thorough guide to getting going with Sonarr? I installed it, but then realized I needed to add a client and Prowlarr and I feel like I just started in the middle.

Search for trash guides and servarr. Both have websites that are detailed in how to set up all of the arrs apps in what ever fashion you want. I think both have Discord servers too.

I also finally set up Lemmy on my home lab, as well as moving Authelia from Docker to bare metal.

Other than that, I’ve been struggling to find any other self-hosted apps that would actually be useful to me.

Had the intention of making a hidden TOR website version for all my websites but I'm sick

Oh, sounds pretty cool, I have never looked into that.

I got a Matrix server set up with conduwuit but the problem is that none of my friends are on there so I don't use it. The one friend I made the damn thing for so we could chat just started going through a bunch of personal stuff so now it won't be used for a while. FML.

I use Mend Renovate to keep up with the latest and greatest container images in my private repo.

Just found Redirecterr and set that up, but that’s just for me since no one else seems to use Overseerr.

Purchased a new to me EOL enterprise switch that will enable me to expand my network while replacing existing hardware that is limited. It also enables me to move to 10G networking woot!

This week I realised my Mastodon instance was severely out of date because I was using nix flakes and didn't autoupdate but now that's been fixed 😄

Added extra disks to TrueNAS, got Seafile up and running in a Proxmox VM. Now I'm about to start fiddling with SAS to 4x Sata to get the front drive bays working. Keepin' busy!

I'm integrating my Mac mini (running Asahi Linux) into my server setup. It's slow going as I also have to move some data around so I can repurpose some hard drives.

I've been hosting Emby forever (and the requisite software to acquire content 😉).

Recently I added Nextcloud to facilitate cutting several Google products out of my life. Combined with a few FOSS apps, it's currently doing the job of Drive (storage) and Keep (notes), and I'm planning to move my contacts and calendar this week.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I'm doing that as well (mostly done except some tinkering and optimizations). It's my third time setting up nextcloud, but this time it's for real.

a Plex server.

Total noob to Docker (desktop for windows) and I'm just trying to figure out how (and where) to add a config to my Navidrome image or change lines on the image itself, to point it to my music library and create admin login credentials (ಥ﹏ಥ) If I can accomplish that then I eventually want to try Immich or NextCloud afterward.

I want to switch to Linux but I'm not sure where to start! I want to

  • play current-gen games (graphically speaking) on steam, as well as
  • lots of retro games with Launchbox/RetroArch
  • do 3D modeling in blender, and
  • produce music in a free DAW.

I don't know if any of those factors impose restrictions due to software/hardware differences (or if that even makes a difference), but I want to move over everything I can into a linux environment

Looking to install Immich, BitDefender Password Manager and YouTube downloader on the NAS this week.
