Thinking of self-hosting some basic tools; SearxNG, Bitwarden, Lemmy.

What kind of tools are you self-hosting right now? Which ones are easy to manage, which ones are awkward? 👀

    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.

        Yep it’s for all my linux ISOs. I have it in my homelab. I probably WAY over-complicated things but I use OPNsense for my firewall and selectively route traffic from specific containers down a ProtonVPN tunnel. I’m using macvlans within docker to give those containers dedicated IP addresses which allows the selective routing to working.

      Chad.

      NextCloud and Pihole are definitely being added to my list. Does self-hosting NextDNS seem worthwhile to you? 👀

        I don’t know that it’s really necessary to use both nextdns and pihole. You may look at a couple of comparisons and decide what’s best for you. I just use pihole (two of them actually, one in docker and one on an actual pi).

      Can home assistant be used without the ad-ons (I want to learn some smart home stuff, but do not want the overhead of a vm)

        Yes it can, though it is easier to set some things up with the built-in addons. Most addons can be set up independently as docker containers (like z2mqtt or node-red) but may require additional configuration.

      Question about Vaultwarden. How does sync work? My browser extension for Bitwarden auto syncs to their server, is that possible with Vaultwarden? Or is it more for manual backup?

        It’s the same thing. There’s an option before you sign into the extension to choose a different server.

      Is there something killer about FreshRSS that makes you host that rather than using the Nextcloud RSS reader support? I used to have TT-RSS before I dropped it and my filesyncinc stuff for Nextcloud.
