In the What are YOU self-hosting? thread, there are a lot of people here who are self-hosting a huge number of applications, but there’s not a lot of discussion of the platform these things run on.
What does your self-hosted infrastructure look like?
Here are some examples of more detailed questions, but I’m sure there are plenty more topics that would be interesting:
- What hardware do you run on? Or do you use a data center/cloud?
- Do you use containers or plain packages?
- Orchestration tools like K8s or Docker Swarm?
- How do you handle logs?
- How about updates?
- Do you have any monitoring tools you love?
- Etc.
I’m starting to put together the beginning of my own homelab, and I’ll definitely be starting small but I’m interested to hear what other people have done with their setups.
I have a Turing Pi v2 but only one of the slots populated with an 8gb pi (because I can’t buy any more right now). Currently just running an SMB share and paperless (in docker) but I plan to add more and use k3s or docker swarm once I have an actual cluster. I am also yet to set up any log handling or monitoring but that’s on the todo list.
