I self-host a fairly big Plex and several personal websites along with a NextCloud instance to sync calendars/reminders/etc across devices. Pretty much everything forward-facing is behind CloudFlare.

On the front end I have two 1Gbit circuits (AT&T and Google) going into an OPNSense instance doing load-balancing and IPS running on a Dell R320 with a 12-thread Xeon and 24GB of RAM

Services are hosted on a Dell R520 with 48GB RAM and two 12-thread Xeons running Ubuntu and an up-to-date ZFS on Linux build.

Media storage handled by two Dell PowerVault 1200 SAS arrays.

Back-end is handled by a Cisco 5548UP and my whole apartment is plumbed for 10Gbit.

Could you share a bit about your picture gallery?

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

I have well over 2,000 publicly-available cybersecurity talks on my Plex and I'm currently watching one right now.

I also have piracy.

How would _you_ suggest I handle the 2TB of public domain media I have, then?

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?

If you follow a multi node cluster tutorial all you should need to do is remove the master taint from the node and normal pods will spawn on it

I host a bunch of docker containers plus Traefik to route everything. It runs on a cheap GCP instance (more on this here: https://sdan.xyz/sd2)

Overleaf: https://sdan.xyz/latex

A URL Shortener: https://sdan.xyz

All my websites (https://sdan.xyz/drf, https://sdan.xyz/surya, etc.)

My blog(s) (https://sdan.xyz/blog, https://sdan.xyz/essays)

Commento commenting server (I don't like disqus)

Monitoring (https://sdan.xyz/monitoring, etc.)

Analytics (using Fathom Analytics) and some more stuff!

In colo:

  nginx
  Plex
  Radarr / Sonarr / SABnzbd / qBittorrent / ZeroTier -> online.net server
  FreeNAS x2
  Active Directory
At home:

  nginx
  vCenter
  urbackup
  UniFi SDN, Protect
  Portainer / unms / Bitwarden
  Wordpress (isolated)
  Guacamole
  PiHole
  InfluxDB / grafana
  Active Directory
  Windows 10 VM for Java things
  L2TP on my router
Everything I expose to the world goes through CloudFlare and nginx with Authenticated Origin Pulls [0], firewalled to CF's IPs [1], and forced SSL using CF's self-signed certs. I'm invisible to Shodan / port scans.

Have been meaning to move more to colo, especially my Wordpress install and some Wordpress.com-hosted sites, but inertia.
