I self-host a ton of software. For context, I’m leveraging docker-compose on top of TrueNAS SCALE:

• Monitoring
  • Prometheus
  • Grafana
  • the basic dockprom exporters: nodeexporter, cadvisor
  • NUT Exporter (UPS statistics)
  • PiHole exporter
  • UptimeKuma
• Ad blocking
  • PiHole
  • unbound (censor-resilient DNS resolver)
  • dnsproxy (in order to use PiHole on my smartphone and laptop outside my home network)
• Media
  • Plex
  • Transmission
  • Sonarr
  • Radarr
  • Bazarr
  • Jackett
  • Flaresolverr
• Services exposed to the outside world
  • Bunkerweb (security-hardened nginx reverse-proxy)
  • Bird.makeup (Twitter to Mastodon bridge)
  • FreshRSS
  • n8n (automation software, think IFTTT or Zapier, but open-source and on steroids)
  • Self-Host Planning Poker (my very own software!)
  • Courier (parcel tracking software)
  • Overseerr (user-friendly interface for friends and family to request movies and shows, plugs into Sonarr, Radarr and Plex)
  • Lemmy
• Kresus (personal finance)
• Wireguard (VPN I use as a gateway into my home network)
• Caddy (reverse proxy with HTTPS, I use it for serving locally everything I do not expose to the outside world)
• Restic server (an HTTP server to push Restic backups from various computers at home)
• wakeonlan-cron-docker (because TrueNAS doesn’t allow installing WoL package. Once again, I made it myself)

What I’m looking into at the moment:

• Tandoor Recipes (deployed but I cannot make CSRF work with my reverse-proxy so far)

What I’ll be looking into in the near future:

• Promtail + Grafana Loki to aggregate Docker containers logs in Prometheus/Grafa
• Immich (Google Photos alternative with automated backups from smartphones)

• Vaultwarden
• audiobookshelf (Best audiobook and podcast server)
• Teamspeak3
• Sinusbot (music bot for Ts3)

• Plex
• Sonarr / Radarr / Overseerr / Jackett
• Lemmy
• Uptime-Kuma
• Nextcloud
• Bookstack
• LanguageTool (Grammar and spellcheck)
• Multiple game servers depending on what our group is playing. Currently, Minecraft with PaperMC
• calibre / calibre-web (calibre with guacamole to manage library and calibre-web to access it with a webpage and send to kindle)
• DailyTxT (Diary server)
• Libreddit (Alternative reddit front end that doesn’t use the official API)
• Rallly (scheduling for groups)
• Tandoor (recipe manager and shopping list)
• Tautili
• Grafana
• Pihole

• The Lounge (IRC Client)
• Blocky (local DNS server with ad-blocking)

• paperless-ngx (document management system)
• Plex (media server)
• Tautulli (stats and tracking for Plex)
• mosquitto (MQTT server)
• zigbee2mqtt (service to manage my Zigbee devices)
• Homebridge (service to get z2m devices into Homekit)
• Homeassistant (home automation)
• Prometheus (collect stats from several services above)
• telegraf (more stats collection + server metrics collection)
• Grafana (for some dashboards that I didn’t want to create in HA)
• miniflux (RSS reader)
• Linkding (bookmark manager)
• Atuin (shell history sync server)
• uptime-kuma (monitor some external servers + my local internet connection by pinging healthchecks.io)
• redis (for paperless and some own projects)
• postgres (for miniflux, atuin and some own projects)

Everything is running in containers on an Unraid server

• 24 TB usable (16 TB parity drive)
• 1 TB nvme Cache Drive
• Intel i3-12100T

With disks at idle/spun down, it consumes roughly 25W.

Here you go !

• Vaultwarden
• Searxng
• Nextcloud
• Smallstep (own CA for self-signed full chain certificates)
• Linkding
• Gotify + watchtower
• Adguardhome
• Traefik
• Wireguard

Took me to much time to make everything work perfectly together, but learned alot along the road ! Everything hosted on a old spare laptopt with docker containers.

Plex, nzb/sonarr/lidarr/radar/, homeassistant, AD, vpn, teamspeak, lemmy, a blog, wifi controller, cert authority, Pi-hole, mail relay, all data/files etc, backups of email from workspace, zabbix for monitoring, miniflux, windows update cache, quicken server

Probably more.

Proxmox host. Fedora server vm.

• openvpn as a backup (and because i went through the highly laborious process of setting it up)
• wireguard
• nitter (twitter alternative frontend. makes twitter usable)
• audiobookshelf (podcast manager)
• pihole (block ads by dns)
• nginx for my website and some related website stuff
• Vaultwarden (sometimes. I usually keep it off because I prefer KeepassXC anyway)

The hardware is a 10 year old Thinkpad. I think it’s pretty clear by my software list that I don’t ask it to do much, but it does so much for me. Like, I wouldn’t run Jellyfin off of this thing. In fact my NAS is 4x8TB drives but I keep it mostly shut off. It’s powered on maybe about once or twice a week for a few hours at a time. I try to batch my activity with it. Like “oh, yeah, I want file X but it’s on my NAS. Maybe later, when I have a need for file Y I will turn it on and retrieve both.”

I can achieve everything I want with even lower spec hardware, but this Thinkpad has a faulty trackpad anyway, which is also how I got it for cheap. I have never measured it, but supposedly it consumes around 6W at idle which is low enough for me.

All running locally on a 2008 lenovo core 2 duo with 2gb, 1 120gb SSD, 1 1tb HDD and 1 250gb HDD…couldn’t open the services to the web since my ISP blocks every port (except 52180 udp) even if I open them in the router sothey can change the double on a fixed IP withppen ports in their “enterprise” package

Just navidrome & the Synology suite (drive, photos, video)

I’m lazy 🫠

1x core 2 duo running Lemmy

2x atom d2550s running xmpp, matrix, lotide, searx, nostr, and invidious

2x core i5 4000 series running everything else

I try to run bare metal so I can stick my fingers into things.
