File 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...

> I hate dev ops shit for a reason...

I notice I was a lot more keen on hosting a bunch of crap myself before I knew how to do it "right", and before devops, orchestration ("you mean running scripts in remote shells?"), cloud, or containers or any of that were things. And yet it all worked just fine back then—time spent fixing problems from my naïve "apt-get install" or "emerge" set-up process wasn't actually that bad, compared with the up-front cost of doing it all "right" these days. A couple lightly-customized "pet" servers were fine, in practice. Hm.

For folks that are reverse proxying I have a few questions... 1) Do you identify the reverse proxy by host or by path? e.g. .yourdomain.com or yourdomain.com/ 2) Do you still run everything over a VPN?

1) By subdomain

2) No - but I do use Cloudflare to proxy inbound traffic

many things: - Nginx - Nextcloud (with Calendar/Contacts on it) - IRC client (thelounge) - IRC server - DLNA server - Ampache server - video and photo library thru NFS (locally only) - OpenVPN - Shiori for bookmarks - Gitea for private projects - Syncthing (to keep a folder synchronized across my devices) - Jenkins

Glad to see another Ampache user!

Yeah after trying many other options it is the one that works the best so far!

I reworked my servers a while ago to host literally everything through docker, managed via terraform. All web-services are reverse-proxied through traefik At home: loki + cadvisor + node-exporter + grafana + prometheus syncthing tinc vpn server jackett + radarr + sonarr + transmission jellyfin samba server calibre server On a remote server: loki + cadvisor + node-exporter + grafana + prometheus syncthing tinc vpn ser…

Or stacks look so similar, it’s creepy. Thankfully, not running sync thing now.

What do you use instead?

vCenter but no hosts? Why VMware stuff?

Colo: Three Hyper-V hosts on R620s. Goofball Quanta and Foxconn hardware for FreeNAS bare metal. All 2xE5v2 w/ 160-256GB RAM.

Home: Two VMware hosts on Hyve Zeus (Supermicro, 2xE5 64GB), one on an HP Microserver Gen8 (E3-1240v2 16GB). PiHole bare metal on a recycled Datto Alto w/ SSD (some old AMD APU, boots faster than a Pi and like 4w). Cloud Key G2 Plus for UniFi / Protect.

VMware because it's what I'm used to. Hyper-V because it's not. Used to have some stuff on KVM but :shrug:

Wait. What? Windows VM for Java?

Mostly for old shitty IPMI.
