Thinking of self-hosting some basic tools; SearxNG, Bitwarden, Lemmy.

What kind of tools are you self-hosting right now? Which ones are easy to manage, which ones are awkward? 👀

  • I host the following off of the top of my head, in no particular order. Some are hosted at home on a combination of a Raspberry Pi 4 and a Synology DS1821+ NAS, some are hosted on a dedicated server:

    • Bitwarden
    • GitLab
    • Pi-hole
    • Miniflux
    • Previously I used NginxProxyManager, now I just use Caddy
    • Samba/FTP server
    • Seafile
    • URL shortener at cmd.gg
    • Syncthing
    • ResilioSync
    • qBitTorrent
    • Glances
    • VirtualDSM to isolate a friend’s media and hosting from my own on the NAS
    • HomeAssistant
    • Mastodon
    • Kbin
    • A couple of MOOs
    • Bitlbee
    • Wordpress/Classicpress
    • Overpass (OpenStreetMap API)
    • Icecast - not sure why I host this anymore…
    • MinIO as a restic backup target
    • UniFi controller

    I also run PFSense at home for my router, on a Protectli Vault, if that counts as self-hosting. Seems more like sysadmin, but there you go. I use Uptimerobot to monitor everything and create sleek public status pages.

    • I had no idea you could host your own Bitwarden instance. The whole reason I moved to Bitwarden in the first place was one of the Lastpass hacks, being in control of my own password manager instance from my favorite password manager would be amazing. Is it free to self- host?

      Also curious about your UniFi controller, are you considering a DM/DM Pro a ‘self-hosted’ controller or do you use one of those Dockerized container solutions?
