From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What's on your personal server? (lemmy.sdf.org)

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?

For local use only I use Docker Rootless hosting:

  • SearXNG (with some modifications, like not using Redis nor Caddy)
  • FreshRSS
  • Jellyfin (for my small collection of series and movies)
  • Gotify
  • Stirling-PDF
  • PiHole (more as an experiment, rather than looking for a complete DNS solution since I can't change my router's DNS)
  • Paperless-NGX (I don't use it much, it's more as an experiment)
  • Homer
  • DokuWiki

I've found problems using Docker Rootless and Tumbleweed as my server's OS, since some configurations are different and some containers don't even work, but I've also learned a lot :)

I managed to install Nextcloud (not the docker) and I called it a success since I find nginx, ports, firewalls and port forwarding a meta headache.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

I've got servers all over the place. A sample of what I have running on all of them:

  • YaCy
  • SearxNG
  • Kodi
  • Shaarli
  • Huginn
  • Part-DB-server
  • Bookstack
  • Cyberchef
  • Efflux

P330 tiny is so good I just wish there was a ryzen version with a pcie slot. Quicksync is great but I hate Intel.

One game server, seedbox, some discord bots. And I ain't telling how I interact with my servers but they are cloud.

I've been running my own nextcloud for around a decade now. I use it for my calendar, contacts, and file storage. It's basically replaced all the google services for me, and has been effectively zero maintenance. It just works.

NFS and Minetest (Asuna) server.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

I use my home server for everything. It’s an i5-13500 system, 48GB of RAM, an RX6650XT, and currently 14 drives all packed into a 4U case.

I virtualize my desktop on it, just passing through the GPU, P-Cores, and 16GB of RAM. That’s my primary dev workstation at home, and also my gaming machine (which runs sunshine for streaming games). I also have a Mac VM set up with OSX-KVM and minimal resources for Bluebubbles.

My drives are set up in several pools. I have two SSD pools: a boot pool running ZFS for the host server system (Debian), and a VM/Container ZFS pool for docker container images and configs as well as the Mac VM. I also have a whole NVMe SSD dedicated to the workstation VM. Finally, I have two large HDD pools: A mergerfs/snapraid setup for media storage (4 drives) and a large ZFS pool (5 drives) for important personal data like pictures and documents.

Services I run:

  • Ente
  • Jellyfin
  • Navidrome
  • Kavita
  • Bluebubbles
  • HomeAssistant
  • MollySocket
  • Searxng
  • Piped
  • Cockpit
  • Samba
  • Prometheus/grafana
  • qBitTorrent
  • Homarr

Always looking for new self hosted stuff to try! I’m thinking of getting into the *arr stuff soon but I’m a bit intimidated by it. Also I’ve got a Raspberry Pi 5 on the way that I’m gonna use for Jellyfin, moonlight, and music streaming to my living room TV

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

NUC 8i5, 32GB, 500GB NVMe (host), 8TB SSD (data), Akasa Turing fanless case, running Proxmox:

  • samba
  • syncthing
  • pihole
  • radicale
  • jellyfin
  • minidnla

I also have a Pi 4 running LibreElec for Kodi on the home theater. Nothing fancy yet and it more than meets our current needs. Most maintenance done over SSH.

Would like to eventually get a proper web and email server going (yes, I know).

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago
  • OrangePi with HomeAssistant and PiHole.
  • Old gaming PC turned 24/7 server with Jellyfin, V-Rising server
  • Hetzner cloud with Matrix server for Messenger and Discord bridging.
  • Synology NAS for SMB and sharing stuff with others through Synology Drive, which also serves as a seedbox for Redacted.ch, with Headphones and Transmission.

A lemmy server, and my experimental Tenfingers sharing protocol nodes.

How come you don't post from your own lemmy

just assume that all of these are referring to the server components of these pieces of software
  • jellyfin
  • dlna
  • syncthing
  • samba
  • ssh
  • wireguard
  • i2p
  • sunshine
  • rdp
  • miniserve - simple http server, used to use apache
[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)
  • HomeAssistant and a bunch of scripts and helpers.
  • A number of websites, some that I agreed to host for someone who was dying.
  • Jellyfin and a bunch of media
  • A lot of docker containers (Adguard, *arrs)
  • Zoneminder
  • Some routing and failover to provide this between main main server and a much smaller secondary (keepalived, haproxy, some of the docker containers)
  • Some development environments for my own stuff.
  • A personal diary that I wrote and keep track of personal stats for 15 years
  • Backup server for a couple of laptops and a desktop (plus automated backup archiving)

Main server is a ML110 G9 running Debian. 48G/ram. 256 ssd x2 in raid1 as root. 4tb backup drive. 4tb cctv drive. 4x4tb raid 10 data drive. (Separating cctv and backup to separate drives lowers overall iowait a lot). 2nd server is a baby thinkcentre. 2gb ram, 1x 128gb ssd.

Edit: Also traccar, tracking family phones. Really nice bit of software and entirely free and private. Replaced Life360 who have a dubious privacy history.

Edit2: Syncthing - a recent addition to replace GDrive. Bunch of files shared between various desktops/laptops and phones.

ATM I have the following running:

  • Caddy
  • NextCloud
  • Webpress
  • Plex
  • Actual Budget
  • Portainer
  • Vaultwarden
  • Grafana
  • Stable Diffusion
  • QBT
  • *arr stack
  • 4 Debian instances with differing bits and bobs on
  • MIT Scratch
  • Neon KDE (Drives lounge TV)
  • Win10 and 11 vms
  • TrueNAS
  • OpnSense
  • Homepage
  • Navidrome
  • SoulSeek
[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Curious about the specs of your machine.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

it's an i5 13xxx with 64GB ram and a HBA passed through to TrueNAS with 7 disks on it and a second network card passed through to OpnSense for WAN/LAN

All the above runs in Proxmox and has a bit of room for expansion still ;) This was a 50th to myself to replace an IBM M4 space heater

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

On my Raspberry Pi 4 4gb with encrypted sd is:

  • pihole
  • wireguard server
  • vaultwarden
  • cloudflare ddns
  • nginx proxy manager
  • my website
  • ntfy server
  • mollysocket
  • findmydevice server
  • watchtower

Pi is overkill for this kind of job. Load average is only 0.7% and ram usage is only 400M

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

can you tell us how you got this running with an encrypted SD card?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That was really hard to do. I created a note for myself and I will also publish it on my website. You can also decrypt the sd using fido2 hardware key (I have a nitrokey). If you don't need that just skip steps that are for fido2.

The note:

Download the image.

Format SD card to new DOS table:

  • Boot: 512M 0c W95 FAT32 (LBA)
  • Root: 83 Linux

As root:

xz -d 2023-12-11-raspios-bookworm-arm64-lite.img.xz
losetup -fP 2023-12-11-raspios-bookworm-arm64-lite.img
dd if=/dev/loop0p1 of=/dev/mmcblk0p1 bs=1M
cryptsetup luksFormat --type=luks2 --cipher=xchacha20,aes-adiantum-plain64 /dev/mmcblk0p2
systemd-cryptenroll --fido2-device=auto /dev/mmcblk0p2
cryptsetup open /dev/mmcblk0p2 root
dd if=/dev/loop0p2 of=/dev/mapper/root bs=1M
e2fsck -f /dev/mapper/root
resize2fs -f /dev/mapper/root
mount /dev/mapper/root /mnt
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/boot/firmware
arch-chroot /mnt

In chroot:

apt update && apt full-upgrade -y && apt autoremove -y && apt install cryptsetup-initramfs fido2-tools jq debhelper git vim -y
git clone https://github.com/bertogg/fido2luks && cd fido2luks
fakeroot debian/rules binary && sudo apt install ../fido2luks*.deb
cd .. && rm -rf fido2luks*

Edit /etc/crypttab:

root            /dev/mmcblk0p2          none            luks,keyscript=/lib/fido2luks/keyscript.sh

Edit /etc/fstab:

/dev/mmcblk0p1    /boot/firmware  vfat    defaults          0       2
/dev/mapper/root  /               ext4    defaults,noatime  0       1

Change root to /dev/mapper/root and add cryptdevice=/dev/mmcblk0p2:root to /boot/firmware/cmdline.txt.

PATH="$PATH:/sbin"
update-initramfs -u

Exit chroot and finish!

umount -R /mnt

Two old HP thin client PCs configured as 4TB SFTP file servers using vsftpd on Debian. Each one uses software RAID 1 with both an NVMe and SATA SSD internally, and are in two separate locations with a cron job which syncs one to the other every 24 hours.

People who actually know what they are doing will probably find this silly, but I had fun and learned a lot setting it up.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

If it works reliably who cares?

Headless server accessed via SSH. Hosting Jellyfin, FoundryVTT, a Discord bot that I just mess around with, and also use it to run an IRC client inside screen.

Homework worth of TBs

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Just Jellyfin and modded Minecraft right now. Nothing super interesting, but great fun.

I'm using SSH to interact with the Minecraft server in tmux, and the web interface for Jellyfin.

This might be a better question for !selfhosted

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

You might like to search this community, and also \c\self_hosted, since this question gets asked a lot.

For me:

  • Audiobookshelf
  • Navidrome
  • FreshRss
  • Jellyfin
  • Forgejo
  • Memos
  • Planka
  • File Storage
  • Immich
  • Pihole
  • Syncthing
  • Dockge

I created two things - CodeNotes (for snippets) and a lil' Weather app myself 'cause I didn't like what I found out there.

Self hosted retro private EQemu, I also use the server for Jellyfin, just for music.

I used to use it to control my window AC from work too, but sadly the smart plug I use for that died over the winter, was nice to pair with those tuya-alternative through http since my cheapo phone needs to save all the storage it can. Its on a very old rig, so I'm always impressed that it still works.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Plex, transmission, home assistant, some SSH tunnels, some custom home automation endpoints.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

I use Docker and (currently) VMware and host whatever I need for as long (or short) as I need it.

This allows me to keep everything separate and isolated and prevents incompatible stuff interacting with each other. In addition, after I'm done with a test, I can dispose of the experiment without needing to track down spurious files or impacting another project.

I also use this to run desktop software by only giving a container access to the specific files I want it to access.

I'm in the process of moving this to AWS, so I have less hardware in my office whilst gaining more flexibility and accessibility from alternative locations.

The ultimate aim is a minimal laptop with a terminal and a browser to access what I need from wherever I am.

One side effect of this will be the opportunity to make some of my stuff public if I want to without needing to start from scratch, just updating permissions will achieve that.

One step at a time :)
