I'm curious to hear what others are #SelfHosting! Here's my current setup:

Hardware & OS

Infrastructure & Networking

Security & Monitoring

Authentication & Identity Management

  • Authelia (Docker): Just set this up for two-factor authentication and single sign-on. Seems to be working well so far!
  • LLDAP (Docker): Lightweight LDAP server for managing authentication. Also seems to be working pretty well!
    #AuthenticationTools #IdentityManagement

Productivity & Personal Tools

Notifications & Development Workflow

  • Notifications via: #Ntfy (Docker) and Zoho's ZeptoMail (#Zoho)
  • Development Environment: Mostly using VSCode connected to my server via Remote-SSH extension. #VSCodeRemote

Accessibility Focus ♿🖥️

Accessibility heavily influences my choices—I use a screen reader full-time (#ScreenReader), so I prioritize services usable without sight (#InclusiveDesign#DigitalAccessibility). Always open to discussing accessibility experiences or recommendations!

I've also experimented with:

  • Ollama (#Ollama): Not enough RAM on my Pi.
  • Habit trackers like Beaver Habit Tracker (#HabitTracking): Accessibility issues made it unusable for me.

I don't really have a media collection, so no Plex or Jellyfin here (#MediaServer)—but I'm always open to suggestions! I've gotten a bit addicted to exploring new self-hosted services! 😄

What's your setup like? Any cool services you'd recommend I try?

@fivexhotel assuming that were talking about someone running a few services like #nextcloud #adguardhome or #jellyfin and wanting to access those services away from their home LAN.

An off the cuff example, #tailscale #headscale or #nebula do this with an added layer of security on top whatever authentication is built into said hosted services.

@tailscale is particularly self-hosting novice friendly, though there are security/foss concerns that may put some folks off.

Hope this helps.

🌟 Self-Hosting Journey Update! 🌟

After weeks of work, I'm excited to share my self-hosted setup! 🎉 I'm running everything on a Raspberry Pi 500 with Stormux (Arch Linux ARM-based), 8 GB RAM, and a 512 GB SD card (planning to upgrade to SSD or NAS as soon as I can afford it). Here's what I’ve built so far:

🔧 Services in Action:
- Development: Forgejo, Code-Server, Woodpecker CI
- Productivity: Joplin Server, Monica CRM, Homepage dashboard
- Monitoring: Prometheus + Alertmanager, Grafana, Netdata, Uptime Kuma
- Networking: AdGuardHome + Unbound, Tailscale VPN
- Tools: MiniFlux, Linkding, TheLounge
- Management: Portainer, Cockpit, Watchtower

🔒 Security & Access:
- Caddy + Cloudflare Zero Trust/Access for reverse proxy & SSO
- FirewallD + Fail2ban for extra protection

📧 Emails Powered by Zoho ZeptoMail:
All email-capable services (e.g., Forgejo, Joplin) are configured for reliable notifications.

💾 Backups: Using IDrive's 5 TB plan for peace of mind.

This journey has been challenging yet rewarding! 🚀 I'd love to hear your thoughts—especially tips on scaling storage or optimizing performance. Let's chat! 💬

My experience with my "new" Raspberry Pi's 1 - very cool! The only downside was that the rpi-imager flatpak package didn't work at all on several machines. In the end it worked with the APT package under Mint. The RP just runs. And it's as old as the hills! No problems with the first start and the SSH connection.

Goal for tonight: get AdGuard Home up and running.

Not only browser are spying or let websites spy you! Windows, MacOS on desktop computers and iOS and Android on mobile phones are spying directly on operating system level.

So if you (or your familiy members) own desktop computer(s), mobile phones and smart devices like TV, watches, etc. you might want to have a single network wide solution for this: #pihole or #adguardhome can be useful for you. In combination with a private #selfhosted #vpn with #wireguard you (and your familiy) can even take your #adblock with you everywhere on every device.

Just setup Pihole+Wireguard once, use it on all your devices and everywhere!
(at your home WiFi, with other WiFis/HotSpots, with your mobile data plan, in your country or in other countries)

See how this works and how to setup on my GitHub page: thomasmerz.github.io/pihole-wi

pihole-wireguard-knowhowpihole-wireguard-knowhowMy Setup for Pi-hole at home and in the cloud to be used with WireGuard for the whole family.

Finally got around to mounting an extra monitor on my server rack! I hooked up my #RaspberryPi since I wasn’t using it for anything else, although I should probably just connect it to my compute server instead.

My end goal is a custom #grafana dashboard, but that’s an entire project in and of itself. For now, I’ll just tile my #adguardhome and #plex dashboards among others.

P.S. please ignore the mess. Yes, it is like that most of the time 😅
