Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Mid 2022, a friend of mine helped me set up a selfhosted Vaultwarden instance. Since then, my "infrastructure" has not stopped growing, and I've been learning each and every day about how services work, how they communicate and how I can move data from one place to another. It's truly incredible, and my favorite hobby by a long shot.

Here's a map of what I've built so far. Right now, I'm mostly done, but surely time will bring more ideas. I've also left out a bunch of "technically revelant" connections like DNS resolution through the AdGuard instance, firewalls and CrowdSec on the main VPS.

Looking at the setups that others have posted, I don't think this is super incredible - but if you have input or questions about the setup, I'll do my best to explain it all. None of my peers really understand what it takes to construct something like this, so I am in need of people who understand my excitement and proudness :)

This is oddly similar to some informal workups I've done for our work network.

Nice work πŸ‘.

Sorry if someone already asked this, but do you have any tutorials or guides that you used and found helpful for starting out? I have some small experience with nginx and such, but I would definitely need to follow along with something that tells me what to do and what each part does in a infrastructure like you have haha

I've been dabbling in self hosting recently and found that chatgpt can help you setup a lot if you don't get annoyed and keep fixing your prompts. It even writes out your docker compose files for you and you can ask it questions on what things mean and what's linked to each other. If you do try it out though, avoid giving personal info like passwords in the chat.

I just have a UniFi firewall, a Synology Diskstation, and a linux server running everything. Provides torrenting, video streaming with plex, file sharing, game server hosting, music hosting, and more, and I don't ever have to mess with it :). This is impressive but I don't know if I would want to support it personally

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd love to have everything centralized at home, but my net connection tends to fail a lot and I dont want critical services (AdGuard, Vaultwarden and a bunch of others that arent listed) to be running off of flakey internet, so those will remain in a datacenter. Other stuff might move around, or maybe not. Only time will tell, I'm still at the beginning of my journey after all!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Fair. I'm lucky enough to be able to get business internet at home so I have a static IP and 99.9% uptime. My plex watchers and game hosting players know that sometimes around 3am, they might be booted when my networking gear auto updates itself, haha

I can't say I'm in support of bring discussion of illegal content to Lemmy but you do you

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe he is just seeding Linux ISOs on the private trackers

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Possibly but I doubt it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Nothing illegal is being discussed.

But I'm happy to talk about Jolly Roger.

Since nobody else asked about this, why ruTorrent over the other typical download clients?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You’re usually stuck with what your seedbox provider gives you.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Ahh I'm not too familiar with seedboxes, thanks 🌻

Very nice setup imho. Quite a bit more complicated than mine - mine is basically just the left box without being behind a VPS or anything. I don't expose anything through Caddy except Jellyfin. I'm also running fail2ban in front of my services, so that if it gets hit with too many 404s because someone is poking around, they get IP banned for 30d
