I believe I'm at 42 Docker containers now, lol. Some of the notable ones:

• Plex
• Vaultwarden
• Home Assistant (plus Node-RED, zwave JS, and mqtt)
• NPM
• Pihole
• All the "arr" stuff
• Nextcloud
• Portainer
• FreshRSS

There is a lot of support stuff too like MariaDB and orbital-sync.

I'm going to be working on Lemmy when I get back from vacation but I leave in like 2 hours so that's going to have to wait, lol.

By in large, the docker makes it stupid easy for the vast majority of my containers and portainer makes it even easier since you can manage everything through a web UI.

• Plex
• Tautulli
• Jellyfin
• Transmission
• Pihole (and DoH proxy)
• npm proxy manager
• Flexget (similar to radarr)
• bedrock minecraft servers
• Home Assistant
• TPLink Omada controller
• Netdata dashboard
• Portainer
• VSCode (web version, to easily edit files on my servers)

    The "arr" family

18. • Gluetun (routes all the below containers through my VPN)
19. • Readarr (print)
20. • Readarr (audio)
21. • LazyLibrarian (magazines)
22. • Mylar3
23. • Sonarr
24. • Lidarr
25. • Radarr
26. • Prowlarr
27. • Flaresolverr
28. • SABnzbd
29. • qBittorrent

There's a few other support containers for the above items like redis and postgres. This is all done on Ubuntu Server. But I'm slowly prepping to switch over to Unraid as I prefer the storage management on that. For me file storage and redundancy is a huge part of why I run all this.

Not as much as I probably should be! I have a nice little Proxmox cluster, backed by a UPS and a beefy NAS, but mostly I use it for fussing around with stuff, playing with instances, nothing really mission critical.

I've got a Synology NAS running Home Assistant and basic NAS stuff (mostly backing up NextCloud).

I've got a Linode (might move if I get less lazy) running NextCloud, and a setup for a Minecraft server I haven't run for years. That NextCloud server replaced BTSync/Syncthing and TTRSS servers, and also now does my password syncing via KeePass, and contacts through webdav.

• PiHole
• NextCloud

Off the shelf stuf:

• Lemmy
• Mastodon
• Tinc VPN (for retro gaming with friends)
• Nextcloud
• docker-mailserver (including roundcubemail)
• feedbin
• GitLab
• MediaWiki (set to private for personal notes)
• Minecraft
• Etherpad
• Munin
• Several wordpress instances for friends

Selfwritten:

• Discord bot that implements the basic rules for some TTRPGs
• Character generation tools for some niche TTRPGs
• Personal blog
• Signup website for a local community meetup

Lemmy Jellyfin Wireguard so I can access my home network from outside

All three are easy to manage(so far).

• Nextcloud. Not too complex but I feel like it's getting heavier month by month and I'm scared of having it turn into full-fledged bloatware. It already has an autoplaying video in the about screen so the slope is getting ever so much slippier...
• Forgejo, swapped from Gitea just a while ago. They're more or less identical but I have stronger trust in Codeberg
• Nitter
• Some half-assed nginx build with nginx-http-flv so I can stream stuff between friends. It works OK but it feels like there's newer better options, I just haven't cared to look into it
• Weird half-assed email setup that does conform to all funky modern bells and whistles somehow despite being an unholy mixture of Postfix, rspamd, Dovecot and Maddy. I'm scared to touch any part of it. Not used for anything too overly serious
• Headless qBittorrent but I don't think I've actually used it in years

Just Nextcloud on an intel NUC at the moment, bare metal.

I run everything off a Synology NAS using Docker, except for Plex which runs directly so I can take full advantage of hardware transcoding.

• Portainer
• Radarr
• Sonarr
• NZBGet
• NZBHydra
• Overseerr
• Jellyfin
• Nextcloud (only using this for GPodder sync right now)

I also have a separate mini-computer for Home Assistant. That runs on HA Blue, which was the limited run predecessor to Home Assistant Yellow. May seem silly to have separate hardware, but I was tired of my whole system going offline every time I needed to reboot HA (which means possibly interrupting a family or friend watching a remote Plex stream, the horror!)

This is likely not the thread for it, but I've been wanting to look for some kind of guide to self hosting for someone who's never done it before. Once I get out of my lease that, while it includes internet, prohibits me from running any kind of servers, I want to potentially look into starting something, although that would also involve me getting a dedicated machine for this. I do have a somewhat old Raspberry Pi 3 from like 2016 I want to say (it has built in WiFi and Bluetooth but as I am currently home, I don't have the specs on hand atm). The only other two machines are my desktop, which is way too overpowered to be running a server even some of the time, and my laptop, which I want to be able to take with me if I need to go work on something at a coffee shop.

1. Debian
2. ArchiveBox
3. PostgreSQL (for my own stuff)
4. Syncthing
5. Miniflux
6. GitWeb

At some point what's hosted and what's infrastructure becomes a bit blurred, but just on the user facing services side:

AdGuardHome, Bitwarden, CalibreWeb, a DHTC scraping database thing that I rarely run because it eats up the CPU and network, Emby, Hemdal, Homechart, a website copier based on HTTrack, Lemmy (ya don't say?) Librespeed, Mailcow, Mastodon, a video downloader based on youtube-dl call MeTube, NextCloud, PhotoPrism, Portainer, RocketChat (being replaced by nextcloud talk once I get the stun/turn working), SmokePing, Transmission, XbrowserSync, Zabbix,

and a handful of others for more monitoring and management style tasks.

I have a few things:

UnRaid server:

• Guacamole (though not really doing anything with it at the moment.)
• Wireguard VPN
• SpeedTest (forget the exact name, does period speed tests and lets me see over time how my connection is doing.)
• DuckDNS
• Heimdall

VM server (esxi 6):

• Windows machine for those times when you just need something
• pi hole
• sharing VM. Dockerized all of the *arrs, sabnzbd, qbittorrent
• plex server. This will probably eventually move off its own VM, but it's there for legacy/laziness reasons.
• Minecraft server, though this is getting dusty as my kids aren't into it like they used to be.

Dell Wyse thin client:

• Home assistant

Pretty simple. I still use iCloud services for most of the other basics (email, call, contacts, iCloud Drive, etc) mostly just because I don't trust my home connection enough to rely on it, and I'd rather the things that actually effect whether or not I can work aren't my problem.

Not a ton of stuff, but I'm currently looking at some more, thanks to this thread.

At home:

• Open Media Vault on an RPi 4, with some containers, namely:
  • qBittorrent
  • PhotoPrism (not especially functional, more a proof-of-concept)
  • mariadb
• PiHole on an RPi 3
• Volumio on RPi3s + DAC (x2)

On a Singapore-based VPS:

• Nextcloud

Navidrome music server is really the only thing that I actually use. I love it.
