Either self-hosted or cloud, I assume many of you keep a server around for personal things. And I’m curious about the cool stuff you’ve got running on your personal servers.
What services do you host? Any unique stuff? Do you interact with it through ssh, termux, web server?
Media server: Jellyfin, qBittorrent, Radarr/Sonarr/Lidarr/Prowlarr, and OpenVPN/Traefik/WireGuard
Misc: PiHole, Vaultwarden, HashiCorp Vault, and FreeIPA
VMware ESXi for the VMs, but I’ll be switching to Proxmox soon.
All running in Docker or Podman containers on their own VMs. I’m trying to automate the deployment and configuration of each of these services via pipelines in GitLab CI using Ansible and Terraform right now. I also have a couple of Kubernetes clusters for testing and dev stuff on this server.
Accessed via SSH or an NGINX reverse proxy. I’m using certificates where possible, but a lot of the traffic between VMs is still unencrypted. I’ll eventually force everything local to use Traefik, but for now, only a few services are using it.
There are a lot of projects on awesome-selfhosted and selfhosted that I’ve been meaning to get around to installing. Home Assistant and AdGuard Home are two of them.
OpenStack has a really good Ansible hardening project for securing servers that I try to always use. I also have a Red Hat developer license, so I try to use their OS when possible because of their FIPS and other security profiles. Some services just don’t work with any of the newer RHEL versions though, and I usually fall back to CentOS Stream or Ubuntu whenever that happens.
