A simple question to this community, what are you self-hosting? It’s probably fun to hear from each-other what services we are running.
Please mention at least the service (e.g. e-mail) and the software (e.g. postfix). Extra bonus points for also mentioning the OS and/or hardware (e.g. Linux Distribution, raspberry pi, etc) you are running on.
My long and mostly complete list:
These services are the result of years of development and administrating my lab and while there is still some cruft, it’s mostly services that I think have real utility.
As far as hardware:
Running pfsense on a toughbook laptop as a router-firewall.
A SuperMicro 24 bay disk-shelf with Proxmox and ZFS for NAS duties and a couple services.
Lenovo Tiny boxes with a Proxmox cluster for the majority of my local services.
Dell managed switch
A few Raspberry-pi’s with Raspbian for various things.
Linksys AP for wifi
Edit: Spelling is hard.
Mind blown! Thanks so much for the comprehensive list!! 🙏
That is impressive. For the sake of curiosity, do you have any photos or diagrams you could share?
Hmmm. I don’t have a network/infrastructure diagram or anything yet, but I’ve been meaning to create one. I’ll probably put one together and post more about my setup if there’s any interest. I’ll be sure to tag you when I do. Thanks for the interest!
Tag me as well! I hope to have something with half the functionality of your setup by year’s end.
Fantastic breakdown, thank you!
Did you get a dual nic in the laptop router, or how did you work it?
It’s an older Panasonic ToughBook CF-C2 with an ExpressCard34 slot I’d say circa 2013. I have a gigabit Ethernet adapter jammed in there for WAN. I’ve been using the setup for maybe 8 years and it’s been ultra reliable for me.
Expresscards are an underrated feature of old laptops as a server.
