I'm testing some self hosted apps including Nginx reverse proxy with letsencrypt, nextcloud with either onlyoffice document server or collabora, onlyoffice community server with mail, gitea, lychee, osclass, guacamole, wireguard vpn, searx, and a few others.

#22Bums me out when I see people putting so many resources into running/building elaborate piracy machines. Plex, radarr, sonarr, etc... (you note some of these services but /r/homelab is notorious for this)
Here’s my home lab: https://imgur.com/a/aOAmGq8
I don’t self host anything of value. It’s not cost effective and network performance isn’t the best. Google handles my mail. GitHub can’t be beat. I use Trello and Notion for tracking knowledge and work, whether personal or professional. Anything else is on AWS. I do have a VPN though so I can access all of this when I’m not home.
The NAS is for backing up critical data. R720 was bought to experiment with Amazon Firecracker. It’s usually off at this point. Was running ESXI, now running Windows Server evaluation.
The desktop on the left is the new toy. I’m learning AD and immersing myself 100% in the Microsoft stack. Currently getting an idiomatic hybrid local/azure/o365 setup going. The worst part about planning a MS deployment is having to account for software licensing that is done on a per-cpu-core basis.

#23File server and plex, that’s about it. I have another server I’ll occasionally run a Kubernetes cluster on, otherwise I don’t really bother with self hosting - I hate dev ops shit for a reason...

#24On my home server (refurbished ThinkPad X201 with a Core i5-520M, 8GB of memory, 1TB internal SSD sync'd nightly to an external 1TB HDD) I run a single-node Kubernetes cluster with the following stuff: * MinIO: for access to my storage over the S3 API, I use it with restic for device backups and to share files with friends and family * CoreDNS: DNS cache with blacklisted domains (like Pihole), gives DNS-over-TLS to t…
You might take a look at https://github.com/grafana/loki if you haven’t seen it yet for logs. It’s still really new but it’s been working for me great.

Good job for using MTA-STS. :)

Plex can and is often used for hosting content that you own the rights to.

I've been wanting to do a kubernetes setup with my home server, but most tutorials are aimed at multi node clusters. Do you have any links on how to setup such a system?
Re: Ask HN: What do you self-host?
#28So far I have a home server with:
* Unbound for dns-over-tls and single point of config hostnames for my home network
* Syncthing for file sync
* offlineimap to backup my email accounts
* Samba for a home media library
* cron jobs to backup my shares
* Unifi controller
On my todo list:
* Scheduled offsite backup (borg + rsync.net being the top contender currently)
* Something a bit more dedicated to media streaming than smb. some clients like vlc handle it fine, others do not.
* Pull logs for my various websites locally

Sure, in the same way that BitTorrent can be used to download Linux ISOs :)
