Ask HN: Which self-hosted solutions are you using?

Running similar setups on my home lab and company lab:

* VMware VSphere/ESXi

* JIRA / Confluence (managing tickets and wiki)

* FreeNAS (server facing file server duties)

* Synology (user facing file serving duties)

* Zimbra (mail server)

* pfSense (gateway, dhcp, dns, vlans)

* SIPP (SIP endpoint testing)

* Elastix (Asterisk PBX/VoIP Server)

* Windows Server (DNS, DHCP, file serving)

* Openfire (XMPP/Jabber server)

* NAKIVO (VMware backup server)

* Zabbix (SNMP/IPMI/Server monitoring server - amazing product but a PITA to setup)

Thinking about trying Proxmox though once my VMware licenses come up for renewal.

As an aside the most trouble free, zero maintenance server in my home lab is the Windows Server. Updates itself without filling up /boot and killing itself (Ubuntu I’m looking at you...). It takes up hardly any resources on the Hypervisor and just runs and runs. Haven't had to login to it in years.

Really wish Microsoft brought that rock solid ethos to Windows 10. Their server products are absolutely incredible.

* Zimbra * Proxmox VE with multiple Windows/Linux services * Rocket.Chat * Jabber (deprecated) * Bugzilla * GitLab * SonatypeNexus * Jenkins

and much more

You can try Gogs as a replacement of Gitlab for small/personal projects.

I run a whole bunch of different servers and apps in Docker on an old laptop with an i7 processor and 16GB RAM.

One of my favourite self-hosted apps is WikiJs (https://wiki.js.org/). It takes a git repository of markdown files and turns it into an editable wiki and syncs back changes to the git repository.

I also use InfluxDB with Chronograf and Telegraf (https://www.influxdata.com) to collect and analyse logs. It's not quite as full featured as Elastic or Prometheus but is easy to use, rock-solid and nice to look at. Plus they sent me a free pair of socks (all the way to NZ) for filling in a survey! :-)

And to help manage all the Docker images I spin up and down, I use Portainer - https://portainer.io/

Forgot to add that just recently I've started to run Apache Guacamole to give me remote access to my local LAN while I'm not at home. This is so great - HTTPS access to RDP, VNC, and SSH sessions. https://guacamole.apache.org/

The default network plugin (canal) did not work for me (some strange error), switching to Weave fixed the problem. Somehow RKE fails when your ssh-key is added to an ssh-agent, you need to add the "--ssh-agent-auth" flag to RKE to make it work.

The rest worked great and fast (~5 minutes I'd say). I am currently looking into persistent volume solutions, Rook.io looks good but is still beta. Ingress is another thing I have to look into, probably just port forwarding from my router to one of the nodes running the controller.

The nodes are Ubuntu 16.04 with docker installed from the repos.
