Thanks for asking

What this thread has showed me is that I’m over here playing tiddlywinks.

I use proxmox on one server, but currently my layout is:

• docker 1:
  • Authentik first network
  • heimdall
  • immich
  • jellyfin
  • NPM first network
  • zipline
• docker 2:
  • authentik second network
  • npm second network
  • blorp
  • gitlab-runner
  • ladder
  • metube
  • photon
  • privatebin
  • tandoor
  • bar assistant
  • sponsor block

LXCS:

• database server
• pihole
• wireguard
• mail server (postfix/dovecot)
• zoneminder
• zabbix
• gitlab
• matrix
• xmpp/openfire
• revolt/stoat
• gamevox (temporary)
• pufferpanel - minecraft
• pufferpanel - ark
• palworld
• discord development container
• projects container

VMs:

• homeassistant
• ipa server
• firewall
• Syncthing / immich storage / PXE server/ File storage

Also thank you for making this post, it helped me realize I have a few containers and services I don’t use and I don’t think have activity on them anymore so I can start a deprecation cycle on them lol

• authoritative DNS for my domain

• endlessh
• Matrix chat and video conferencing (nginx, Synapse, MAS, Livekit, coturn, Postgres)
• Prosody elsewhere for failover if international links go down
• Nextcloud
• offsite backups for important data, not the whole OS (rsync)
• QR scanner on a webpage, for transferring complex passwords locally
• Syncthing
• Offsite monitoring (Prometheus, Grafana, AlertManager) - amusingly, on an old ex-Android phone running PostmarketOS (a variant of Alpine). Eats less than a watt of power.
• Wireguard to hook up the monitoring with minimum fuss

NAS

• Arr stack
• Jellyfin
• Navidrome
• Immich
• Forgejo
• Paperless
• Mealie

RaspPi

• PiHole

VPS

• Tailscale
• TaskWarrior Sync
• Vaultwarden

Personal Workstation

• Forgejo runners
• Immich image detection
• Paperless OCR

And of course all the basic security measures and Borg backup on everything.

• Firefly III - home financials
• Grocy
• Jellyfin
• Self made homebrewing log webapp
• Arr stack
• Nextcloud
• Matrix server for family chats

Not much these days. While it used to be “everything”, now it’s:

• Http/https
• dns
• Wireguard
• Minecraft
• beegfs

Everything I have is either for entertainment or home automation. Most of it is running on a mini-PC running Proxmox.

• Jellyfin
• Asset UPnP
• Lyrion
• Navidrome
• LRCLIB offline lyric server
• Home Assistant

And I’ve got a containerized Audiomuse-AI instance for music analysis and instant playlist generation.

Incus, all services running in lxc. Ansible and templates to run startup stuff for new containers (ssh keys, etc). My docker setup is primitive, I regressed down to individual containers for each with docker compose. It’s so trivial to restore last night’s lxc backup that k3s/k8s doesn’t really help me. In fact, i’ve been simplifying everything to suit my use case, including hardware.

• sonarr
• radarr
• bazarr
• prowlarr (I’m close to getting rid of this)
• transmission
• sabnzbd
• kavita for comics only
• calibre Web automated (CWA)
• frigate NVR
• navidrome
• immich
• openwisp to manage 2x openwrt access points
• homeassistant
• technitium DNS x2
• uptimekuma monitoring x2
• ntfy for push notifications
• ansible
• jellyfin
• radicale
• syncthing
• Wireguard
• wanderer for GPS track mgmt on “big screen”. I track my GPS trails and drives as a hobby. I’d love a self-hosted comaps web client, but I can’t really find one. :(

Plus lots of transient trials that come and go with interest. Rotating 7 day/4 week/3 months backups by NFS with pruning, includes snapshots, but I set expires on these.

This is running on 2x minipcs with 48GB ram each, but they are way overkill. I just received a mini itx i5 board, which will house all of the containers, save VPN and 1x DNS, which I will run on an SBC.

So I’m going down from 2x servers + 1 NFS nas to one 1u server for everything plus one SBC so I can reboot it.

Power consumption is king factor for me now.

I’m currently only hosting Jellyfin (movies and TV) and Komga (books and comics) on a LAN, but I already bought a domain, and I’ll be exposing them via reverse proxy within the next few weeks; maybe even this weekend if everything goes well. After that, Nextcloud is a must for sharing large files, as Google Drive’s limits are coming up on me fast, and I’ll start test driving Fluxer as a replacement for Discord.

Your Spotify

Shame there isn’t a “your deezer” that sounds really cool. Anyways user facing service LXCs (eg. Jellyfin) have Tailscale installed. Here’s my services by box:

I have a spare no name n100 box that I would like to turn into a network box one day, then I can manage my Airvpn and Tailscale access through that. But for now the ISP router is fine, I guess.

hi! first time posting from this account, but a long time lurker.

I have Adguard Home on my router, but here are my other machines. I’m currently working on overhauling the NUC, mostly because I didn’t know what I was doing when I got it.

I use Dokploy for my services right now, I like it more than Portainer.

currently running on a Raspberry Pi 4:

• Diun (for notifying me of updates to my containers)
• PDFding (for my ttrpg collection and some other stuff like crochet patterns)
• Grimmory (for ebooks)
• Mealie (for recipe storage, I don’t really use the other features)
• Pinepods (for podcasts)
• Shiori (for archiving webpages and bookmarks)

things I’m going to be running on my NUC:

• Prowlarr (it’s just easier for me to find stuff using the interface)
• Diun (again, notifying me of updates)
• RomM (for game ROMs, I like that some of them I can play in my browser or put on my desktop)
• SABnzbd (for sailing!)
• Qbittorrent (same deal as above)
• Emby (was using Jellyfin but for a couple reasons I want to try Emby. if I don’t like it, I’m going back to Jellyfin)
• Tubeless (it’s a fork of Pinchflat, which is a way to download Youtube videos specifically to watch them through something like Emby or Jellyfin)
• Navidrome (for music playing, planning on using Feishin on desktop and Symfonium to listen to it on my phone)
• MusicGrabber (kinda does what it says)
• probably Immich (unsure on this, might just store my photos for safekeeping but I kinda like the idea of looking at them laid out like Immich does)

I currently have a 10TB NAS in RAID 1 for storage, though I’ve found it a bit difficult to map storage to docker containers while leaving the databases on the NUC because I have very little experience and am still learning. thankfully, I’m taking notes this time around.

I would love to get more storage, but man. prices.

A lot on docker and yunohost.

Gotosocial is the most used service for the family.
