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?

I needed a lightweight monitoring system for my #homelab servers (think Zabbix but far far easier to use), #beszel is perfect for that. Amazingly easy to install and set up, it has all the metrics I need.
Highly recommend 👍

I just migrated the last repositories from my private #gitlab instance to my #forgejo instance. While gitlab has been nothing but great for over a decade, as a private instance it was using much more resources for doing nothing than forgejo. Also forgejo is completely #foss. Gitlab used about 10% CPU and 6.5GB RAM permanently, more if I actively did something. Forgejo is at 0.3% CPU and 160MB memory

Used only by me:
- Gitea - to code
- Bar Assistant - to drink
- Scrutiny and Beszel - for monitor all the things
- Proxmox VE as supervisor
- Proxmox Backup Server as Proxmox Backup Server
- Ghost - my blog and a couple of landing pages including yevi.org
- Fresh RSS - for reading feeds
- Dockmost - to remember
- OwnTracks Recorder together with OwnTracks Frontend - to see where I was yesterday (it’s always at home)
- Zoraxy - to make some of the things available from the outside

Heard a bunch of people mentioning #Beszel lately, and thought I'd try it out. Overall, I'm quite impressed with it, and highly recommend. Very easy way to get host-based monitoring with alerts.

The only negative is agent management... Curl piped to bash isn't something I'm comfortable with, I'm sad there's no options like adding a repo. No built-in agent updating, etc.
