Selfhosted

58352 readers

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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

this is my current plan, but I've yet to selfhost for longer than a month or two previously. what do y'all think of my choices?

Proxmox HV running TrueNAS+Debian Stable Server

Prowlarr: Indexer manager Sonarr: TV show management automation Radarr: Movie management automation LazyLibrarian: Book management automation Lidarr: Music management automation Homarr: Dashboard for managing applications Seerr: Media request management system Jellyfin: Media server qBittorrent: Torrent client NZBGet: Usenet downloader WireGuard: VPN software Surfshark: VPN service Portainer: Docker container management UI Watchtower: Automated Docker container updates Immich: Photo gallery & backup Mealie: Meal planner Moonlight: Low latency remote gaming (retro game emulator focused) Kavita: Ereader for books, manga, audiobooks, most formats Funkwhale: Music streaming

open to suggestions, but wanted to see if the community would perceive this as a reasonably interlocked software system or if i need to be using other software.

incredibly new and lowkey uninformed by trying my best to learn. plz be nice lol

Half of that is the arr stack, some is management stuff, the rest is standalone stuff and not interlocked at all I think?

I'd consider something for authentication (like authelia or authentik) early on, so you don't have to convert all your services at once but can integrate them when you set them up.

Funkwhale is more of a thing for publicly sharing your audio, not for personal use, even though it might work as well. I think Navidrome is the most popular thing to stream your own stuff.

Generally I'd start with few services and learn your way around the whole stack before firing up 20 compose stacks without knowing what you're doing.

You might also want to think about a reverse proxy so you can access your stuff via subdomains instead of different ports.

For this part, i'm not sure what you mean by convert all my services? are you talking like a 2FA app or similar?

[–] tofu@lemmy.nocturnal.garden 1 points 4 days ago

Not necessarily 2FA, but single sign on (SSO), so you don't have to log into every single service with it's own password but have a central identity authority that your services query.

Navidrome

+10 for Navidrome — solid piece of software.

I can’t recall specifics, it was a while ago now, but I was having issues with third party apps retrieving any more than a small subset of my music library from Navidrome. I switched to gonic (another subsonic implementation) and it worked right away.

Huh... well, glad you got it all worked out. Navidrome is the first thing to get fired up every morning. I can't start the day without my blues, jazz, soul, r&b, and funk.
