hi there, comrades! just curious, what do you all actually host for yourselves?
i currently run a two old PCs refurbished as Ubuntu servers and am looking at adding a Raspberry Pi 400 that i was gifted and don’t know what to do with. i have ideas though!
anyway, i’d love to hear what you’ve found useful, helpful, and/or fun to run. my own answer will be in the comments.
We’re doing Christmas dinner this year.
Hope you have enough RAM for that. I hear it’s quite resource-intensive.
lol, fair. we did Thanksgiving this year so Christmas is at my mom’s. ha!
I self host whatever I can within reason. Like I don’t host my own email, used to though! Currently I have the following services on Proxmox:
- Nginx reverse proxy
- Authelia
- Technitium
- Paperless
- FreePBX
- Immich
- LibreNMS
- Gitea
- WikiJS
- Ntfy
- Vaultwarden
- Kasm
- Portainer
- Matter most
And a few smattering of others that I spin up as needed or for testing things.
What a list!
There’s more… ><
Would you recommend WikiJS? I’m looking for a wiki solution to document my homelab setup.
I do recommend it. It’s easy to setup and does everything you need in a documentation knowledge base. I used to use confluence before their enshitification; WikiJS is much nicer for my use case.
@hamtron5000 For personal use:
- TrueNAS with some shares
- Plex
- jDownloader + Transmission
- IPFS node
- Jitsi meet
I wish they would update jDownloader
Does Jitsi Meet support screen control?
i am not sure - that’s why i installed Rustdesk, which is remote help tool. I’m IT in my daily life for an organization and also IT in my personal life for friends and family, so it’s helpful to have something like TeamViewer for personal use.
@Bipta @hamtron5000 You mean screen sharing? Yes it does.
Vaultwarden, forgejo and nextcloud. I tried matrix and email, but couldn’t get them to work, comrade.
I actually use a real owned server, and host all kinds of my own stuff, along with
Matrix (synapse + element web)
Nextcloud
Etherpad lite
Gitea (have yet to switch to Forgejo)
And gaming servers. AssaultCube was very successful, as it has incredibly low pings, it was full multiple times, and it was incredible fun.
On an old raspberry pi 3b, a copy of a blog by one of my favorite writers (the original is long gone and was never archived, I happened to grab a copy with wget when it came back up briefly) so I can read it when I’m on my home network. And a pi hole dns adblocker.
I’m hoping to set up some kind of media system for streaming eventually, but we currently use a PS4 as our media center and it doesn’t look like our options for compatibe apps are great.
I’d definitely like to get a local Mealie instance going in the next year
NixOS on an AMD mini itx board.
- NGINX for reverse proxy
- Jellyfin
- Syncthing node
- Homeassistant OS on a VM (QEMU/KVM)

Nextcloud, Synapse + bridges, Adguard Home, Uptime Kuma, Home Assistant. Thinking about spinning up Gitea, Forgejo or Gitlab again.
- Gitlab
- Gitlab Docker Runner
- Minecraft Server
- Discord Bot (wrote my own because I couldn’t find a good one that ran on arm)
- Jellyfin
- Fluidd
- portable development environment with tmux + neovim + whatever toolchain I’m working in
- various projects I’m developing such as bots or web tools that need uptime or I just don’t want to tie down to my local machine
- BOINC
- immich
- minidlna
- nginx reverse proxy with various personal websites behind it
- rsync backup jobs on systemd timers
- rtorrent
- veilid node
I have a single Proxmox host running:
- Apache reverse proxy

- Readarr
- Prowlarr
- NextCloud
- Deluge
- MySQL
- HomeAssistant
- OpenSense firewall
- Zoneminder
- Lemmy (with Alexandrite)

- navidrome
- transmission
- home assistant
- frigate
- nzbget
- deluge
- sonarr
- radarr
- jellyfin
- jellyseer
- octoprint
i have two old PCs refurbished as Ubuntu servers running the latest LTS version.
machine the first: - Taskwarrior - Taskserver - Docker and Docker Compose - local media and stuff on a 2TB NAS
machine the second: - Docker and Docker compose - Jitsi Meet server - Rustdesk server
coming soon: - PiHole - Unbound DNS - Plex (maybe) - Mealie (possibly with a dedicated ancient iPad that will live in the kitchen) - BirdNET-Pi
also possibly a home weather station built out of a Raspberry Pi 4B that is on order; i love the idea of having one of these in my backyard to track our microclimate.
Love those project ideas! Birdnet sounds really cool.
