Lemmy Jellyfin Wireguard so I can access my home network from outside

All three are easy to manage(so far).

I use a truenas server running off old gaming rig parts (except storage)

• plex
• tautilli (plex analytics)
• sonarr and radarr
• jackett
• transmission
• pihole that I dont use
• home assistant
• a very basic personal website, more of a placeholder for if I need to go job hunting

• PiHole
• NextCloud

Not as much as I probably should be! I have a nice little Proxmox cluster, backed by a UPS and a beefy NAS, but mostly I use it for fussing around with stuff, playing with instances, nothing really mission critical.

I’m usually a lot of what others are posting. One of my favorites so far has been HumHub. It’s a social media platform that’s like an old-school Facebook before all the news and ads. Currently have about 20ish members and it made available just for my large extended family. A lot of us already left Facebook so it’s nice to have a similar set of features just for us without outside influences.

• Nextcloud. Not too complex but I feel like it’s getting heavier month by month and I’m scared of having it turn into full-fledged bloatware. It already has an autoplaying video in the about screen so the slope is getting ever so much slippier…
• Forgejo, swapped from Gitea just a while ago. They’re more or less identical but I have stronger trust in Codeberg
• Nitter
• Some half-assed nginx build with nginx-http-flv so I can stream stuff between friends. It works OK but it feels like there’s newer better options, I just haven’t cared to look into it
• Weird half-assed email setup that does conform to all funky modern bells and whistles somehow despite being an unholy mixture of Postfix, rspamd, Dovecot and Maddy. I’m scared to touch any part of it. Not used for anything too overly serious
• Headless qBittorrent but I don’t think I’ve actually used it in years

I’ve got a Synology NAS running Home Assistant and basic NAS stuff (mostly backing up NextCloud).

I’ve got a Linode (might move if I get less lazy) running NextCloud, and a setup for a Minecraft server I haven’t run for years. That NextCloud server replaced BTSync/Syncthing and TTRSS servers, and also now does my password syncing via KeePass, and contacts through webdav.

1. Home Assistant OS (in a VM)

2. • MariaDB
3. • Matter Server
4. • Mosquitto Broker
5. • Z-Wave JS

6. AdGuard home

7. SWAG (Ngnix proxy)

8. Emby

9. Airsonic Advanced

10. Komga

11. Immich

12. FreshRSS

13. Owncloud

14. Organizr

15. Duplicati

16. Portainer

17. Virtmanager
    The “arr” family

18. • Gluetun (routes all the below containers through my VPN)
19. • Readarr (print)
20. • Readarr (audio)
21. • LazyLibrarian (magazines)
22. • Mylar3
23. • Sonarr
24. • Lidarr
25. • Radarr
26. • Prowlarr
27. • Flaresolverr
28. • SABnzbd
29. • qBittorrent

There’s a few other support containers for the above items like redis and postgres. This is all done on Ubuntu Server. But I’m slowly prepping to switch over to Unraid as I prefer the storage management on that. For me file storage and redundancy is a huge part of why I run all this.

I have an old laptop that i’m selfhosting a few services on. Right now i’m hosting:

• nginx proxy manager as a reverse proxy (all requests go through the reverse proxy and it redirects to the app based on the domain name)
• mealie and tandoor(for recipe management, dont know which one to choose yet)
• immich (for photo backup and management, kind of like Google photos)
• media stack with jellyfin, bazarr, sonarr, radarr, prowlarr jellyseerr, sabnzbd, and qbittorrent (jellyfin for streaming movies and shows, qbittorrent and sabnzbd for downloading movies and shows from either torrent or usenet sites (basically torrents but better), sonarr and radarr for telling them what to download, prowlarr for telling sonarr and radarr where to download from, and jellyseer is an interface where users select movies to download)
• gluetun (only use it sometimes, it’s a VPN client that I use with qbittorrent)
• archiveteam warrior for helping out archiving reddit, they have some other cool archival projects too.
• And finally, Lemmy.

I host most of my important things on the cloud because of my situation meaning that my laptop is not too reliable. If you are curious:

• actual (a pretty cool budget management app)
• nginx proxy manager
• gotify (sends and receives messages)
• ntfy (same but a bit simpler and more configurable)
• headscale (selfhosted control server for tailscale)
• metrics stack with grafana, prometheus and node exporter (node exporter scrapes my cloud server for data like CPU usage and other stuff every, I think, minute and then sends it to prometheus and grafana scrapes Prometheus for the metrics then visualises it if I request it to)
• authentik single sign on (single sign on means you log into authentik and then you can log into every other app through authentik, it’s a bit complicated to setup but it’s very nice when you do)
• vaultwarden (like bitwarden but easier to setup and easier on the ram) And that’s about it.

Trust me, I had to go through A LOT of tutorials to get to even this point, so it may be daunting at first, but you’ll get there. Eventually.

If you’d ask me what the hardest to set up was it was probably the media stack, probably because it was my first project 😅 and a close second would probably be authentik, it requires learning the different authentication types that you need, then actually setting it up on your server.

If you decide to selfhost something through docker and are new to doing stuff through the command line then i would recommend portainer, because it has a nice GUI and is maybe a bit better understandable to people who don’t understand all the commands In docker. Even if you are, it’s still nice for monitoring IMO. Incase you don’t know what docker is, you should check it out. I’m not gonna go into it here, but it’s pretty cool.

You should consider joining !selfhosted@lemmy.world (I realize that beehaw defederated but I feel like I should still bring It up) and !selfhost@lemmy.ml

Anyway sorry for the long post, I’ll shut up now.

• Plex
• Tautulli
• Jellyfin
• Transmission
• Pihole (and DoH proxy)
• npm proxy manager
• Flexget (similar to radarr)
• bedrock minecraft servers
• Home Assistant
• TPLink Omada controller
• Netdata dashboard
• Portainer
• VSCode (web version, to easily edit files on my servers)

I believe I’m at 42 Docker containers now, lol. Some of the notable ones:

• Plex
• Vaultwarden
• Home Assistant (plus Node-RED, zwave JS, and mqtt)
• NPM
• Pihole
• All the “arr” stuff
• Nextcloud
• Portainer
• FreshRSS

There is a lot of support stuff too like MariaDB and orbital-sync.

I’m going to be working on Lemmy when I get back from vacation but I leave in like 2 hours so that’s going to have to wait, lol.

By in large, the docker makes it stupid easy for the vast majority of my containers and portainer makes it even easier since you can manage everything through a web UI.
