Ask HN: What services/apps are you self-hosting?

Foundry VTT. It is a very nice rpg virtual table.

Yeah, when i am deciding if i wish to return to a website to read more of their stuff, the very first thing that i do is search for an rss/atom feed. If they lack such a feed, then chances are quite high that i won't return.

Oh, i have never heard of Hauk. Is this it? https://github.com/bilde2910/Hauk

1. Gitea 2. Netdata 3. SourceGraph

Here's what I have so far:

  - Zabbix: for monitoring my servers
  - Uptime Kuma: for monitoring whether sites are up
  - Mattermost: for some communication, also automation (e.g. notifications from Uptime Kuma)
  - Portainer: for managing Docker Swarm or Kubernetes more easily
  - Gitea: for my source code
  - Drone CI: for my CI/CD needs
  - Sonatype Nexus: for storing everything from my code libraries, to container images
  - SonarQube: for static code analysis in my projects
  - OpenProject: for managing my projects and some documents/Wiki
  - BookStack (now retired): for a knowledgebase/proper Wiki
  - NextCloud: for my file management needs
  - PeerTube: for my video hosting needs (currently mostly backups of stream VODs, because of bandwidth limitations otherwise)
  - Grav: for my blog, over at https://blog.kronis.dev
  - Yourls: for link shortening, because the blog sometimes breaks with query parameters otherwise
  - Matomo: for analytics on the sites that I develop (cookieless currently)
  - BackupPC: for my backups (incremental and deduplicated)
  - my own mail server, for automation and as a backup private account
  - some other sites that I've developed with the above tools: like my homepage, a forum or two and so on
  - oh, and some game servers (like Minecraft) for friends

Historically, I hosted a few more pieces of software (like GitLab and GitLab CI), but I've both cut down on some and added some others over time.

Currently some of those run on my homelab (just regular Debian/Ubuntu boxes), whereas some are in the cloud, from a relatively local cloud provider. The total costs of the VPSes are around 425 euros a year, or around 35 euros a month. Currently the cluster has just short of 64 GB of RAM and 12 CPU cores total, over half of which are in my homelab.

There is some maintenance involved, but thanks to Docker containers and stuff like Let's Encrypt it's all tolerable and cheaper than cloud offerings (mostly since I don't care too much if anything goes down for a bit).

Edit: oh, here's something fun. I use Apache2 as my web server(s), instead of Nginx/Caddy/Traefik, because it has bunches of modules and mod_md is pretty okay for managing certificate renewal https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_md.html
