Media server: Jellyfin, qBittorrent, Radarr/Sonarr/Lidarr/Prowlarr, and OpenVPN/Traefik/WireGuard

Misc: PiHole, Vaultwarden, HashiCorp Vault, and FreeIPA

VMware ESXi for the VMs, but I’ll be switching to Proxmox soon.

All running in Docker or Podman containers on their own VMs. I’m trying to automate the deployment and configuration of each of these services via pipelines in GitLab CI using Ansible and Terraform right now. I also have a couple of Kubernetes clusters for testing and dev stuff on this server.

Accessed via SSH or an NGINX reverse proxy. I’m using certificates where possible, but a lot of the traffic between VMs is still unencrypted. I’ll eventually force everything local to use Traefik, but for now, only a few services are using it.

There are a lot of projects on awesome-selfhosted and selfhosted that I’ve been meaning to get around to installing. Home Assistant and AdGuard Home are two of them.

OpenStack has a really good Ansible hardening project for securing servers that I try to always use. I also have a Red Hat developer license, so I try to use their OS when possible because of their FIPS and other security profiles. Some services just don’t work with any of the newer RHEL versions though, and I usually fall back to CentOS Stream or Ubuntu whenever that happens.

here is my deploy

https://github.com/simone-viozzi/my-server

On an orangepi5, managed via webUIs and SSH: -Home Assistant and associated programs (notably zigbee2mqtt and nodered) -Pihole

8TB Unraid NAS managed via Unraid’s webui -Whooole *arr stack -Jellyfin -Mealie

Thinking about nextcloud for the next one.

Just Jellyfin and modded Minecraft right now. Nothing super interesting, but great fun.

I’m using SSH to interact with the Minecraft server in tmux, and the web interface for Jellyfin.

Plex, transmission, home assistant, some SSH tunnels, some custom home automation endpoints.

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 :)

Self hosted retro private EQemu, I also use the server for Jellyfin, just for music.

I used to use it to control my window AC from work too, but sadly the smart plug I use for that died over the winter, was nice to pair with those tuya-alternative through http since my cheapo phone needs to save all the storage it can. Its on a very old rig, so I’m always impressed that it still works.

This might be a better question for !selfhosted

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.

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.

Homework worth of TBs

Headless server accessed via SSH. Hosting Jellyfin, FoundryVTT, a Discord bot that I just mess around with, and also use it to run an IRC client inside screen.
