On an Intel NUC in my closet.
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.

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 π
What is the scale of your network, like is this all just in your house?
I will go first π
I selfhost codimd, vaultwarden, kuma, immich, home assistant, trilium, hugo, gotify, wakapi and umami. I have one VPS and one custom built NAS at home.
I read you ππ¦
I joined to learn, still not self-hosting anything, but I intend to use an 11yo Compaq laptop (i5, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD) as a server while I'm still practicing. I intend to self-host a lemmy instance and a nextcloud server.
Thanks for everything you guys have been sharing I've already got some good leads, gonna try out YunoHost for starters
I cover most of what services Iβm running in my own post looking for assistance recently.
I might be the only person self hosting a gopher server. Its running on a Raspi 4 on my home network, using Flask Gopher.
Aww man I remember those well. Is this for nostalgia or do you regularly use it?
I have a number of useful services on it, including stock quotes, many news sources, some games. Its been a labor of love.
Host all the things!
Wordpress, SMTP/IMAP, tor, bittorrent, Nextcloud, Plex, NTP, photo galleries, DoT...
I even started hosting the website for my local Italian restaurant and they haven't even realised it yet.
Wait, what? How are hosting someone else's website?
OK, here's how it happened.
I was hungry, and I wanted to see the menu for my local pizza joint. I couldn't find it anywhere.
I discovered that all their socials linked to a website that wouldn't load. When I checked, the domain had lapsed.
Out of frustration, I purchased the domain and pulled the last snapshot of their website off archive.org. It had their full menu as a PDF.
6 months later and it's still getting visitors from their facebook page, who are viewing the menu. They haven't even realised.
I strive to be this level of...
Whatever this is
That's funny. Imagine how confused they'll be when/if they find out.
Are you still hosting it? Have they realised?
The owners closed the restaurant and started a new one so I let the domain lapse.
Well... Start hosting a website for their new restaurant! π
