Tipi is pretty awesome. If you haven’t already, check it out!
Didn’t know about Tipi!
Getting ready to set up Immich, Navidrome and Nextcloud, was meaning to handle it with separate Docker containers, but now I’ll try Tipi first.
Thanks!

Ok, you’ve got me curious - Why 3 different active directory domain controllers?
Just for redundancy! One DC VM per physical vSphere host. Each DC also handles internal DNS records for my network.
Very impressive. I gotta ask, how is this feasible cost-wise? Mostly as in licensing for vshpere. I know you can get pretty far in windows server with evaluation keys, butI run an ESXi server on eval mode cuz I’m cheap and have to reset the license every 90 days with some commands and reboot 😅
What is the scale of your network, like is this all just in your house?

Adding:
-
proxmox
-
podman/portainer
-
unbound
-
ngnx proxy mgr
-
Solid server

homepage
-
matrix
-
searxng
-
some sort of mail stack, TBD

My “Home Lab” loosely put, is an amalgamation of this:
Docker and Docker Compose installed on Ubuntu on a Dell PowerEdge 530 and on that docker host I have: -Portainer
-Nginx Proxy Manager
-Cloudflare Dynamic DNS
-Chromium
-Dozzle
-Gluetun
-Homarr
-Jellyfin
-Kanboard
-Komga
-Radarr
-Lidarr
-Sonarr
-Navodrome
-netbooyxyz (work in progress)
-Prowlarr
-qBittorrent
-Pairdrop
-Resilio-Sync
-Searxng
-Siganl CLI container for alerts
-Uptime Kuma
-VSCode
-WikiJS
-Watchtower
On one of my Pi’s:
-Pihole
-Pialert
-fail2ban
-PIVPN
-Unbound
The weakest part of my setup arguably is between my storage “solution” and my networking setup.
Storage is just a bunch of large drives in the Dell. Next upgrade is a new router solution, but still use my current router for a wireless access point strictly for IOT and putting my other devices on separate VLANs.
I was thinking about getting a Nextcloud going, but not sure I want to as of right now.
I have a rented server with 8 Xeon E3-1246 and 64GB at Hetzner where I host:
- Vaultwarden
- Gitlab (git repo, container registry, static blog (pages with Hugo))
- Drawio (Diagrams)
- Kroki (for Gitlab)
- Gitlab runner
- FreshRSS
- Nextcloud
- Redis
- Headscale (Tailscale server)
- Keycloak
- MariaDB
- PostgreSQL
- Plex
- Privacybin
- Wallabag
- Hedgedoc
It’s all behind a Traefik instance handling Let’s Encrypt and using the Docker socket to route traffic based on labels in docker-compose.yml. Behind these I also run k3s and from time to time some VMs. I also have a 1TB storage pod at Hetzner where I use restic to back everything up from this instance as well as from my home system and laptops.
Been self hosting for over a decade at this point. Mix of custom built servers and surplus hardware over the years.
To name a few of my daily servers.
- home assistant
- paperless-ng
- jellyfin
- nextcloud
- blue iris
- audiobook shelf
With docker being so easy I have kind of lost track how much stuff i am hosting. A problem i never thought i would have :)
Available from internet:
- jellyfin
- jellyseerr
- immich
- paperless-ngx
- owncloud ocis
- traefik
- homarr
Available only from local:
- the *arr stack
- qbittorrent
- jackett
- watchtower
- apprise
- netdata (kinda new, still have to fully understand how it works)
- portainer
- speedtest-tracker
- homepage
Security
All the services available from internet, just goes through traefik to terminate https, I rely on the build in authentication of each service. To add another layer of security, I have fail2ban active on all those services.
I have a public IP, and I have open on my router ports 80, 443, a random port for ssh and vpn.
Hardware:
Memory: System RAM: total: 8 GiB available: 7.73 GiB used: 4.46 GiB (57.7%) Report: arrays: 1 slots: 4 modules: 2 type: DDR3 CPU: Info: 6-core model: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T bits: 64 type: MCP cache: L2: 3 MiB Graphics: Device-1: NVIDIA GP107 [GeForce GTX 1050 Ti] driver: nvidia v: 535.98
docker compose files
All the docker compose files + how I configured everything is available at: https://github.com/simone-viozzi/my-server
Bonus:
Since I like the ability of btrfs to do snapshots, I created all important docker volumes as btrfs subvolumes. Then I created a backup script that literally sends the subvolume (encrypted) to an external cloud. This does not allow incremental backups and most likely is not the best backup solution… but it works… the repo is: https://github.com/simone-viozzi/btrfs2cloud-backup
I welcome any advice / criticism!
I had a small X.25 network as combination coffee-table and space-heater at one point; this was before most homes had internet. It almost cost me a divorce.
I have a used Lenovo Thinkcentre mini with an i3-7100T and 16gb RAM. I have Ubuntu server LTS installed on it and I run everything in docker containers.
I host:
- jellyfin server for my friends and family
- qbittorrent to download for the JF server(behind a VPN)
- Jellyseerr for requests
- Jackett, Sonarr, and Radarr for downloads
- a Minecraft server
I have been self hosting things for over 15 years. I now host on 7 computers. I’m proud of the fact that I stay under 100W idle, including 3 Omada WLAN APs and network technology (all via PoE and all is on a UPS). For most of the services i normally used the helper scripts. i’m currently in the process of moving everything to komodo. there should be an lxc for each service or service group, komodo pulls the compose files from gitea and deploys everything.

i’m happy to have found an entry point and an alternative to reddit here, even though my second post (question about suitable hardware with 32 answers) has already been deleted. hello everyone!
I might be the only person self hosting a gopher server. Its running on a Raspi 4 on my home network, using Flask Gopher.
