Cross-posted from "My selfhosting setup so far" by @innocentz3r0@programming.dev in !selfhosted@lemmy.world


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 ๐Ÿ˜…

UPDATE 2: I'm silly, I forgot that I'm also looking into self-hosted RSS feed readers ๐Ÿ˜†

I have been using freshRSS for a while and I really like it.

How do you like Radicale? I have been looking to selfhost cal/todo/contacts, and have been trying to figure out what to use.

Ah, I asked around and people recommended miniflux over freshrss since the former is written in Go and is lighter and faster.

Radicale is pretty nice, fits my bill well, and just works. Some people say Baikal is better, but Radicale fits my bill very well so I didn't bother changing.
