Hey everyone! I’m sort of still green for selfhosting, but I wanted to share my setup so far:
The following services are selfhosted in docker
- Audiomuse (smart music tagging, mood based and all that)
- Navidrome for music hosting
- Jellyfin for TV shows (not a lot) and Films (not a lot again, but steadily increasing)
- Radicale for serving contacts/TODOs/calendar
- SFTPGo to act as my drive
- Kavita for ebooks and manga (I have tons of both)
- Glance for homepage
- forgejo for git forge hosting
The system specs are kind of visible in the homepage, so I won’t spell them out here again. Mostly an old optiplex running arch, though I want to change it to nixos later on.
System tools:
- nushell for shell
- calibre for ebook management and tagging + fanficfare plugin to download fanfictions
- Caddy for reverse proxy (so I don’t have to remember ports)
- netbird for VPN (also because it allows me to set wildcard DNS resolution for nodes, so I don’t have to set up a dedicated pi-hole or adguard)
- Handbrake and ffmpeg for processing videos and such
- beets for tagging music
- a sysinfo script to generate system information for glance to consume
- Probably other things too, I’m forgetting
Everything is accessible only via netbird, and external inbound connections are firewalled off
Apart from that, I eventually plan on adding the following as well:
- Immich for photo hosting
- Vaultwarden for passwords
- Gollum (still debating on alternatives) for a webUI for my notes
- Paperless-NGX
I’m still thinking on more that I can add. Note that whatever I add should not need an inbound connection/stable IP address, since I don’t intend to expose the server to the public. Any suggestions/tips? Thanks!
UPDATE: Forgot to add, I’d probably add homebox too, for inventory management 😅
UPDATE 2: I’m silly, I forgot that I’m also looking into self-hosted RSS feed readers 😆
