Ask HN: What do you self-host?

5 pointshugodutka4 comments

I pay $7 a month for a server and I self-host a bunch of services for personal use:

- n8n (n8n.io) - Zapier alternative

- Privatebin (github.com/PrivateBin/PrivateBin) - encrypted pastebin for sharing sensitive data

- Headscale (github.com/juanfont/headscale) - open-source implementation of the Tailscale control server. Lets me set up a personal VPN easily.

- Argo CD (github.com/argoproj/argo-cd) - I use the VPS as single-node Kubernetes, and argo lets me manage my deployments.

- Hashicorp Vault (vaultproject.io) - For managing secrets.

I also wanted to self-host something like Gitpod or Github Codespaces, but there was nothing available. So I decided to build it. It's at https://hocus.dev if you want to check it out.

What do you self host? I'm curious to see what else I could put up.

A custom-written blog - https://theandrewbailey.com/

Funkwhale - https://funkwhale.audio/

HAProxy - https://www.haproxy.org/

Pihole - https://pi-hole.net/

ReadyMedia (formerly miniDLNA) - https://sourceforge.net/projects/minidlna/

I've toyed with Jitsi (https://jitsi.org/) and IRC (https://ergo.chat/ and https://kiwiirc.com/) but neither are useful enough to me to keep running.

I host quite a lot of different services

* wikijs - personal notes and wiki

* gitea - git server

* matrix synapse - for communicating in my friend group

* quassel irc client server

* miniflux - rss/atom reader

* wireguard vpn - just the plain wg-quick config nothing fancy

* plex - media server for my smart tv

* PiGallery 2 - really fast photo album viewer

* webdav server using nginx and zfs - justed just as a general network file storage.

Its a old Dell R710 server that I host at a local hackerspace. It also has a external SAS disk shelf connected to it with 96TB of spinning disks in it.

For me it's generally k8s. I'm currently migrating most of my stuff to a new setup :) I want to give headscale a shot. I've used my k8s to run Gitlab CI jobs and some of my apps/toy projects.

Simple stuff to the WAN: ftp file server, website, ssh login.

A few extra things on the LAN: Samba, mysql, rsync backup, Usenet News.

That is sufficient for me.
