What are you self-hosting currently?

I run a fairly low power homelab with 4 esxi hosts (on various NUCs), a kubernetes cluster on 4x rpi4s and a few other odds and ends.

NUCs run a handful of VMs, some with bare installs and others are just split up docker hosts. Generally hosts:

• Plex + Tautulli + xTeve + dizqueTV for all media streaming both local and live tv
• Audiobookshelf for audiobooks and podcasts
• Komga for books and comics
• Gitlab for source control
• Jetbrains Spaces for source control (trying out to see if I like over gitlab)
• Snipe-it for physical item management
• Vaultwarden for the passwords
• Pairdrop for peer to peer file sharing
• KASM for browser based VMs
• Uptime Kuma for uptime monitoring
• Gitify for notifications
• NTOP for network monitoring
• LibreSpeed for testing network speeds
• prometheus for metrics scraping
• mqtt for message delivery
• influxdb for time series data from monitoring services/hosts
• searxng search aggregator
• protonmail-bridge bridge for local network use
• NPM for reverse proxies
• vCenter Server for ESXi host / cluster management

Kube cluster is 1xMaster / 3xWorker nodes with a longhorn fs backing / traefik proxy:

• ddclient for keeping my IP updated on a domain record
• freshrss for my rss reading needs
• gitlab-runner for gitlab jobs
• grafana for observability of everything running
• pihole for a redundant pihole instance

Misc rpi3b+

• primary pihole + pivpn for killing adds and gateway into home network while away
• zigbee hub used for monitoring temp measurements in fridges/freezers
• pikvm for monitor+keyboard+mouse control on ESXi hosts

All data hosted on a freenas install w/ primary storage 42TB in raidz2 and backups 6TB in mirrored. Used for everything currently running. Various personal machines auto-backup to the backups share, along with various other services which take snapshots as well. I have 4 drive synology that is used as an offline backup w/ 42TB in SHR1 where I periodically sync everything off the truenas instance onto it. Nightly I have bormatic sync the majority of the backups share into my b2 backup buckets.

I also self-host my own mastodon instance, but not on my home network.

As to the why of all of the above? I like tinkering and I've found each of the things I host important to various things in my life. I enjoy the ability to control what I am dependent on.

I wonder if there is a homelab community of sorts on here. I use a tiny mini micro cluster running proxmox and for now just just HA, Pi-hole, plex, and the arrs. I plan to expand to a proper NAS when I move.

Currently hosting the following on my Unraid server:

• VSCode - notes (using Dendron)
• Homepage - home dashboard
• Jellyfin - IPTV streaming (there is an xstream api addon that works wonderfully)
• Linkding - bookmarks management
• Microbin - pastebin
• Miniflux - RSS reader
• MongoDB - personal db for an API on a project
• Navidrome - music
• Overseer - Plex requests (family loves this)
• Plex - probably my most used, bought a lifetime pass a couple years ago so won't be moving away
• Prowlarr - auto downloads
• RSSHub - creating RSS feeds
• Uptime Kuma - server uptime tracker
• Radarr + Sonarr - media download managers
• SABnzbd - use net downloader
• QBittorrent - backup if I can't find something on usenet
• Twingate - Great VPN option
  I also have a few VMs running for various tasks/apps that I found easier to run in Linux than in a Docker container.

I'm one of the mad folk who run a Kubernetes cluster at home (there are dozens of us!). I use it for all kinds of stuff like the standard *arr stack, my password manager (vaultwarden), home-assistant, and a bunch of little tools and bots that I made.

I'm fairly new to homelab stuff.
I self-host a Unifi Network Server on a NUC.
Learned about the Media Plex Server and recently got that on there as well.
Will probably build a NAS with sufficient storage once I build a new PC soon!

I have a Hetzner auction box in DE[1] which has a bunch of stuff:

Authelia - Auth for all self hosted services with 2FA
Caddy - Simple reverse proxy with minimal config
qBittorrent - BitTorrent client
Plex - Media server
tautulli - Plex monitoring
Sonarr - Media management
Radarr - Media management
Jackett - Add sources not supported out-of-the-box by Sonarr and Radarr
Overseerr - Media request management
Homepage - Dashboard for all the services + some quick links
Attic - Private + public Nix binary cache (useful for for my devices and CI pipelines for things that aren't cached by default in Nixpkgs)

Notado - Content-first social bookmarking and highlighting service (I maintain and host this project)
Kullish - Cross-forum comment aggregation service (I maintain and host this project)

I maintain and manage all of this with a NixOS flake as of earlier this year, which has made things so much easier compared to the previous fragile container-based setup I had!

[1]: Because Hetzner peering is so bad on the US West Coast, I route Plex through Cloudflare (with caching disabled via a rule so as to not violate the TOS):

      "https://plexsubdomain.myboxdomain.tld".extraConfig = ''
        encode gzip zstd
        header {
          # disable FLoC tracking
          Permissions-Policy interest-cohort=()

          # enable HSTS
          Strict-Transport-Security max-age=31536000;

          # disable clients from sniffing the media type
          X-Content-Type-Options nosniff

          # clickjacking protection
          X-Frame-Options DENY

          # keep referrer data off of HTTP connections
          Referrer-Policy no-referrer-when-downgrade
        }
        reverse_proxy localhost:32400 {
          flush_interval -1
        }
      '';

This also has the added advantage of not requiring me to open up the Plex ports on the firewall.

Nothing as cool as other people here but I've been running a Plex server on my computer for awhile to watch my favourite shows and movies, so much more convenient than using streaming services.

Maybe I'm getting old, but I'd be uncomfortable trusting important personal documents to such a system.

Offsite hosting is, as you say, risky for identity theft. Hosting within your premises is one accidental "delete" click away from losing everything (I get that backups are a thing, but they'd also have to be within your premises, and checked regularly for recoverability, which nobody does).

And then if some organisation demands the "original" document, you don't have it any more.

I think I'll stick with my wads of paper for now.

I've recently upgraded my little raspberry pi to a full on Ubuntu server. I've been creating an entirely bespoke system from scratch using php which I access via wireguard. I need to do a full breakdown if it at some point. It serves everthing from TV shows, music, movies and tracks calories, weight, card collections and numerous other random things.

I've got a couple different computers running several things, everything is tailnetted together and I have a VPS that acts as my public IP and funnels traffic to my home. Honestly, I love Tailscale

My main stack looks like:

Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Server box that lives in my basement closet

• ZNC for IRC
• Transmission for one-off torrents (linux ISOs, the Llama model when that leaked etc)
• Paperless-ngx since I've been trying (and failing) to catalog all the paper I come into
• Caddy websever for directing to the websites that live in my house
• A private pastebin
• Samba share for sharing files in my house

OpenSUSE Tumbleweed running on the Framework laptop 11th gen

• Currently it just runs Phorge that is my personal website, git host, blog, calendar, and it also does a ton of other stuff -- I find new features in Phorge almost every day!

Debian 11 box

• Runs Akkoma for my microblogging needs

HTPC running Windows 10

• This is my Plex box that gathers all the media. Use your imagine as to what software runs on it ;)

Love Paperless, I originally started using it before -ng and -ngx were a thing, but thank the deity of your choice that it's been taken up for continued development with those branches and not left abandoned. Paperless was actually the first service I ever self hosted, and led me to Docker for the first time.

This is Vergil, photo about 2 years outdated. It's a Supermicro 846E16-R1200B chassis with a 846EL1 backplane. It runs headless Debian, my Linux OS of choice over the last 15ish years. OS runs on a 1 TB NVMe drive, that was an experience, I had to modify the BIOS for my SuperMicro motherboard as it can't boot from NVMe by default. Storage array is 2x ZFS raidz2 pools of 6x 12 TB drives, for a total of 110 TB disk space. I'm at about 65% capacity right now.

Vergil hosts a number of things, mostly in docker:

• audiobookshelf (Audio book server)
• bazarr (Subtitles for my regular media)
• bazarr-4k (Subtitles for my 4K media)
• cups (Common Unix Printing Service)
• delugevpn (Deluge, run through PIA VPN)
• dmarc-report (Retrieve and format DMARC reports)
• fail2ban (Helps protect SSH and Nginx)
• fpm (PHP for nginx)
• gphotos (Google Photos backup mirror)
• grive (Google Drive backup mirror)
• lidarr (Music media manager)
• mariadb (Replacement for MySQL)
• nginx (The best damn webserver out there [I'll fight over it!])
• onedrive (OneDrive backup mirror)
• openspeedtest (Speed test server software, so I can see speeds to/from Vergil)
• organizr (Excellent front end web app aggregation page)
• paperless_webserver (Front end for paperless)
• phpmyadmin (For MariaDB)
• piavpn (GlueTun that I tunnel some other containers through)
• plex (Media server)
• portainer (Web interface for Docker, for when I don't have my SSH keys handy)
• prowlarr (Indexing software)
• radarr (Movie media manager)
• radarr-4k (4K Movie media manager)
• readarr (Audiobook/Ebook media manager)
• redis (Redis server)
• sabnzbd (SabNZBd usenet downloader)
• sonarr (TV media manager)
• sonarr-4k (4K TV media manager)
• syncthing (Think of it similar to a decentralized Google Drive/DropBox/OneDrive -- not exactly cloud since it's decentralized, but super handy)
• transmission (Torrent client)
• tubesync (YouTube archiving)
• vnstat (Monitor host for bandwidth usage per network interface)
• vnstati (Web front end for vnstat)
• watcher (Watch files/folders for changes, run things on change)

I also rent a small Linode I've had for like, 12+ years now, that has virtually no resources but sits on a massive internet carrier's backbone, so speeds are insane (Typically around 5 GB/s down, 2 GB/s up). That one runs:

• bazarr (Previously described)
• bitwarden (VaultWarden, probably the most valuable container I run, password manager)
• dokuwiki (Where I keep notes about my homelab)
• fail2ban (Previously described)
• fpm (Previously described)
• glowingbear (Web client for connect to IRC through an already existing weechat instance)
• mariadb (Previously described)
• mealie (Recipe management)
• monitorr (Monitor services for up/down status)
• nginx (Previously described)
• ombi (Media request manager)
• organizr (Previously described)
• overseerr (Another media request manager)
• pastebin (Most people know what this is already)
• phpmyadmin (Previously described)
• plex (Previously described)
• radarr (Previously described)
• sabnzbd (Previously described)
• shorturl (URL shortener)
• sonarr (Previously described)
• syncthing (Previously described)
• tautulli (Plex monitoring software for Vergil)
• tautulli-bucket (Plex monitoring software for Linode)
• vnstat (Previously described)
• vnstati (Previously described)

I also have a neat little Ubiquiti network stack I've polished up over time.

This is how it started

This is how it's going

I custom designed that 2U Pi panel and had it 3D printed. Those are two Pi's running PiHole (in docker), so I can have it up high availability. I use a script I wrote to force captive DNS to the PiHole's, even if a client does not want to (Google Home devices, for example, which have hard coded DNS).

It's ever a work in progress, but it's come a long way, and I'm relatively happy with it!

vSphere cluster on 3 HP Mini EliteDesks:

• 2x PiHole servers with local unbound resolver; synced with Gravity Sync
• 3x Active Directory DCs
• Homebridge Instance
• Jenkins Instance
• Portainer Instance Hosting:
  • Authelia
  • Code Server
  • CyberChef
  • Guacamole
  • NGINX Proxy Manager
  • PairDrop
  • SMEE Client
  • Your Spotify
  • Docker-SMTP
  • Vaultwarden
  • A couple of personal websites using NGINX
• Kubernetes (k3s) (3 Managers, 6 Workers) Hosting:
  • ArgoCD
  • AWX
  • Rook Ceph
  • Cloudflared
  • My main personal website using a container image built with Jenkins and deployed with ArgoCD.

Standalone Lenovo TS140:

• Plex (GTX 1650 Super for Transcoding)
• SABnzbd
• Radarr
• Sonarr
• Ombi
• Tautulli
• MP4 Automator
• Veeam B&R for backing up vSphere hosts.

Synology DS1821+:

• 64TB Raw, 2TB NVMe Cache
• MeTube
• Backup Sync to Google Drive

Misc:

• RIPE Atlas Probe
• All networking gear is Unifi. UDM Pro, USW Aggregation, USW Pro 48 PoE, U6 Pro, U6 In-Wall, 3 USW Flex Minis. 10G SFP+ connections between UDM Pro and switches.

I use my home server for backing up files, and a simple Jupyterhub setup for computations. I'm using an old desktop which no longer runs the latest games but has way more power than a Pi. Honestly, in retrospect it would have been better to use a remote hosting service. Dealing with dynamic DNS is a pain for updating encryption certificates, and many ISPs don't even support port forwarding anymore since they are using CGNAT. I ended up using Mullvad to forward a port through their VPN, but they are dropping support for that in a month, so I will need a better solution.

I'm running a DS218+. It maintains my Plex and HomeAssistant servers. I don't do too much with it otherwise but I've been enjoying having it.

Actually been debating upgrading to something with more bays at some point in the future, maybe whenever we move next.

An HP Tiny PC running Unraid, with Ubooquity (e-reader), Jellyfin (media), SearXNG (search engine proxy / aggregator) running on it currently. Bender Dashboard as a webpage to get to these apps. Currently brainstorming other stuff to run on it. Pi-hole is a possibility, I've run that before on other systems, though currently NextDNS is fine for me instead. The apps/docker containers run off of a small Optane drive and the data resides on a 2TB SATA SSD.

Micro Dell PC running Diet-pi X86 for super fast/easy set up as a print server. I love Diet-pi distro. It's super light-weight and the built in TUI and CLI commands give you all sorts of things you can install and do, including Pi-hole- it's my preferred distro to run Pi-hole

Dell/Wyse 5020 Extended Thin Client running OPNSense - this is not live at the moment- but planning to replace by Ubiquiti ER-X with this as my own custom router. Way more options/configuration available and much more hardware power. Still sips very low energy, has 4 ports, etc.

I run a lot out of my Synology NAS.

We've got all our documents on the cloud now. Secured. I have really high speed internet now, so I don't struggle with accessibility outside the home.

I was able to ditch Google photos and host all of our photos and automatically back everything up on the phones and whatnot.

I have a server for all of our Calibre ebooks. Slick interface and easy to send books to my paper white or simply read on my phone.

I run a Bedrock server for family and friends. Yep, we just updated to 1.20. Let's go!

Several other things hosted locally, but I also have a bunch of stuff hosted by a company I've used for over 10 years. I seamlessly interconnect stuff from the hosted servers to my NAS.

It can be a lot of work to run things on your own, but it beats the hell out of relying on these third parties that steal your data.

I think I'm going to work on migrating away from Evernote next to locally hosted.

I like to control my own data, did you notice? 😊

Plex on an old NUC and used to run pihole on a RPi4.

I’d love to get some kind of proxy for logging web traffic but never really looked into what’s best and how much resources are required. I think squid on Linux would be the way to go. Would like to get into more invasive inspection of the traffic as well (for fun and to keep an eye on the kids).

I keep instances of Stable Diffusion, an LLM, and whatever side project I'm working on running on my home server most of the time.

Not much compared to a lot of the people in the "self-hosted community", but it's plenty for me haha.

I've been running Plex on my living room media/gaming PC for a few years.
Just decided today to pull the trigger and order some parts to build a DIY NAS. Planning on installing Unraid OS and Plex on there. Might use this thread for ideas for what else to run on there.

Instead of paying for RSS digests Im using https://github.com/piqoni/matcha (executable binary on a cron) to generate a daily digest in markdown of all my rss feeds.

A CDash server!

Technically it’s running on a little VPS on our cluster at work that someone else maintains, but I’ve been keeping it alive. In my “free” time I’ve been using it to stand up an automated ticket status tracker (e.g., file a ticket with a reproducer, register it, have it run on nightly builds and report whether it’s passing yet). I piggy back off an existing Jenkins server, and launch test runs via Slurm to our cluster.

I've just picked up a Dell R720XD to start my homelab journey but I'm having to move suddenly so haven't gotten a chance to set anything up fully. I've got ESXI on it at the minute with a Windows Server 2019 VM for AD and a few other things, Ubuntu server for PiHole which also handles internal DNS resolution to the various services and the plan when I get time is that I'm going to setup *arr services with Deluge in containers for media, though I'll probably run Jellyfin on my laptop pointed at an SMB share to benefit from the 3070 in that for transcoding. I also want to use something like Paperless NGX but have considered Mayan EDMS as an alternative. Longer term I'm also planning a database server to use as a test bench for various data pipeline ideas spitballs and practice as I work as a data analyst and want to improve my skills in engineering and also want to learn ML engineering so I can use these for work. Additionally I'm planning to test out various open source BI tools to see how these compare to the proprietary tool at work so that I can look to get my department the ability to self-serve direct from our data mart without incurring extra costs. If any works well the hope is I can get this setup on the data mart server to give the teams access to use the data in a controlled manner without needing any SQL knowledge.

I'm also going to get a dedicated NAS setup which I plan to build using a case I've seen on AliExpress that can hold up to 15 hotswap 3.5 inch HDDs. OS will be TrueNAS Scale and I'll run Jellyfin on there when complete as I'll use a more modern CPU so it can do the transcoding instead of my laptop.

As far as backups go, I'm considering a tape based backup solution but haven't had any experience with enterprise hardware outside of the R720XD so any feedback on the backup option would be greatly appreciated. As I understand it, tape is the recommended option but open to any alternatives that may be cheaper as a tape writer is pretty pricey from an initial check.

I'm currently hosting some services in a small mini PC (Celeron N3350, 4GB RAM) with CentOS Stream, a small upgrade from my previous Pi 4 setup due to proper hardware decoding. Overall It is a janky setup where storage is limited to 64GB eMMC and a 2TB 2.5'' USB HDD, but it takes no space which is currently at a premium for me.

Everything below is running in rootless podman, except for acme.sh, wireguard and samba.

• acme.sh for renewing my domain's certificate.
• Adguard Home for adblocking within my internal VPN. It also exposes my services under a local subdomain.
• Jellyfin for my media, mostly anime and music. I have been considering Navidrome for music but I haven't felt the need to replace it.
• Miniflux for my RSS feeds.
• nginx as my reverse proxy and HTTP server.
• Postgres for my databases, although it is only being used by Miniflux right now.
• samba for folder sharing.
• Syncthing for file syncing, I use it to sync photos and game saves mostly.
• Transmission for my Linux ISOs needs.
• wireguard for accessing the services while outside.

Unfortunately, it is a somewhat brittle, as I'm hitting this network bug, throwing me into a 502 Bad Gateway page every now and then. Furthermore I picked up podman because of podman auto-update but that doesn't seem to work well with podman's depends-on feature either.

As far as things go, I want to set up Home Assistant again, some container repository for my images, and a git forge, but I need to work out the kinks of this setup, and hopefully make it reproducible.

Yaay I can contribute now that I got an invite!

My home lab is currently offline due to me just moving and not having the time to put it back up but when it was up I experimented with DIY HPC/parallelization a whole lot. It came in handy to have a number crunching system as I played around with some simulations. The greatest part is that I got most of the parts for virtually no cost due to them being scrap servers, old IBM x3550 M3's which were originally used as SAN volume controllers. I've now got a total of 7 of them and some other ancient scrap server acting as a head node. 4 more kitted out x3560's are waiting for me so I'll need to put up the lab eventually but currently it is exam season so it might be a while.

If you're interested in getting actual enterprise equipment then I'd really recommend just writing to suppliers/providers in your area if they have any scrap laying around in their warehouses. For example these x3560's I got for 10 euro per piece. Pretty much the worst they can say is "no". With that said I would also like to mention that if you intend to have such equipment on at all times, get ready for a laaaarge electricity bill. My lab was off when not in use but could be turned on via IPMI and smart power sockets remotely. Oh and they act like electric furnaces essentially. Others in this topic posted a solution that I too think is perfectly suited and that would be a NUC. More power than an RPi and still quiet and power efficient.

Currently plan on running a simple web server via nginx from my RPi3. Might set it up to host files as well. So really boring at the moment :)

Mine is currently deployed as a cybersecurity learning platform for myself.

Rocking a AMD fx-6350 based system with xcp-ng virtualizing an Active Directory domain controller, one AD joined server and a ELK stack server to propagate logs to. My desktop also has a couple of AD joined virtualized workstations.

And a Raspberry pi with wireguard set up so I can access the lab from anywhere.

For anyone interested in AD / cybersecurity, I highly recommend to set up your own AD environment. It teaches you so much more than I could have ever imagined.

I have a small homelab at home that I mainly use to experiment and learn new technologies, networking concepts.

My physical compute resources consists mostly of refurbished and second hand machines:

• dell r630 (proxmox, k8s)
• dell r320 (proxmox, k8s)
• Raspberry Pi B
• Synology NAS (4 bay)
• PiKVM

Currently self-hosting:

• freshrss
• gpodder2go (my drop-in golang implementation of gpodder.net for my podcast consumption needs)
• a bunch of static sites behind Caddy
• a bunch of Gemini sites
• couple of iBGP instances (bird)
• pi-hole
• miniflux (RSS)
• minio
• postgres databases
• jellyfin (media player)
• home assistant
• prometheus/grafana
• librenms (network monitoring)
• libreddit for friends
• Mastodon for friends
• VPS and wireguard VPNs for family and friends
• a couple of my own webapp/infra services which I hope to eventually productise

Recently I've managed to get an ASN and an ipv4 /23 allocated to me by my RIR, so it's been really fun learning BGP and figuring out how to announce part of my IP range into my homelab.

Looking to start playing with voip and hosting xmpp next.

Nothing fancy, just a cheap Windows nuc running:

• Jellyfin - Media server
• HFS - Http file server
• Caddy - Reverse proxy
• Perforce - Version control (using with Unreal Engine)
• and a Terraria server

R530 with a T1000 for transcoding jobs as the Xeons from that era didn’t have QSV.

Running Unraid with the *arrs, Plex, Jellyfin, calibre, audiobookshelf, checkrr, homebridge, mylar3, Nextcloud, overseerr, Plex-auto-languages, Plex-meta-manager, portainerCI, recyclarr, scrutiny, tautulli, tdarr, Jackett, nzbhydra2, prowlarr, flaresolverr and a couple of other backups and assorted dockers and VMs.

Books and audiobooks have their own Readarr instances.
Plex has everything I need to barely ever touch it or settings on the screens.
Tdarr makes sure everything is in h.265
The overlap with indexer managers is because some sites play nice with some and others with others.

I also run a QNAP that is my backup machine as everything backs up to it and then it uploads those backups to the cloud to complete my 3-2-1 plan. The backups are in bare metal and file format so I can pull whole drives for restore or single files.

I also run two DNS servers, one simple with just reverse lookup zones for local network items, the other with ad-blocking/family filtering so I can A/B if something isn’t working right.

With my PoE switch and rest of my network rack it actually isn’t too bad on power. The 13th gen Dell servers definitely aren’t as power hungry as their older brothers.

I’m very likely switching to a NAS in the near future however as the server is getting long in the tooth.

If I were to change anything at this point, maybe I’d start with a different hypervisor/docker host, but after tinkering with some others the learning curve for unraid is way less steep, and I’m not ashamed to admit I just don’t feel like being big brain sometimes.

My dad has a Synology NAS (not sure which model sorry) that we use for photo and video backups. I host a Jellyfin server on my PC and just have a basic HDD for storing movies, TV shows, and home videos as well. Haven't really done anything fancy. Might move the Jellyfin server to a dedicated PC in the future (M1 mac mini maybe?) but currently, it works fine as is.

I have a Pi Zero W with multiple sensors attached that monitors ambient temp/humidity, my aquarium temp, then grabs outside temp/humidity/barometric pressure from 2 public API's. I also have a Pi Zero 2 W that runs fluidd/klipper for my 3D printer, but I guess that doesn't really count.

I honestly want more Pi's to run more stuff. I think it's the perfect platform. I used to run linux on whatever my oldest hardware was that is 2 steps from the trash can as my home "server", but a Pi is about 3 trillion times more efficient, lol.

I just started to self host plex+overseer+sonarr+radarr+prowlarr+flaresolverr+qbittorrent on a rpi4, i will probably change the hosting to an old mac mini or a NUC.
I’m accessing it remotely with wireguard (I have a VPS that works as the wireguard server for my home peers and external servers peers). It works like a charm !

Currently really quite a boring set up

Grafana and Prometheus in Docker so that I can develop dashboards

Did have all the *arrs and Plex but now we have an IPTV that docker setup has been shutdown for a while

Currently self web-hosting, as I have been for 25+ years. I just cant stand forking over money to a tool like Webflow or Squarespace or Shopify even IF the platforms are good. So I'm running a mail server, web server and FTP, and it's just living on a little 1U box somewhere running Debian.

At home, I'm running PLEX as i'm an obligate pirate and data hoarder, as well as my own wee arcade setup on Batocera/ EmuElec (haven't landed on a winner yet). I consider that a "server" as it's not in the same rooms I play in, and it's on my network to do stuff like scrape metadata and such. So... server-ish.

I have homemade NAS with RAID5. It serves as in-home thing - hosts Jellyfin, TVheadend (homemade over-the-air to IPTV), home directories of family members, DNS server (for LAN currently), prin and "scanner" server etc. I'm planning on asking my ISP to forward some ports on my internal IP address to go public - at least OpenVPN and DNS, better yet e-mail server, webserver, SSH and maybe other stuff mainly for my own use, not for general public use. The NAS is running 24/7 already, so why not use it as self-hosting server? :-)

I already have one such server (running RAID1 on Inte Atom N270, drawing around 20W of power) with my own public IP, I used it as DNS, e-mail, webserver and OpenVPN too and also as off-site backup for family photos. There's gonna be ISP change on the site though and I will lose the public IP, so I have to adapt. This server started just as curiosity (to setup my ow sevices, like a software training) like 10 years ago and is still running by chance.

I run my own backup & file server with Unraid. I don't really host any containers on it though, and certainly nothing public. Public hosting requires ongoing maintenance and it's too much of a security headache for me personally.

I used to be big into self-hosting, but have moved more and more stuff to cloud. I still have a FreeNAS server at home with 16TB of replicated storage that feeds Plex for me. I have various jails and plugins that run random stuff, like a service that synchronizes Google Keep's lists to Todoist after IFTTT stopped working.

I have a second repurposed mini desktop I built about 8 years ago to run Kodi that now runs my Ubiquiti network controller and NVR for security cameras at my house.

Other than that, my website and personal file storage have moved to Google Cloud. Used to host OneCloud for synchronized storage but moved that to Google Drive.
