My selfhosting setup so far

2026-07-20 07:10 UTC

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!

    Awesome! I have a very similar setup to you. I recommend installing pi-hole regardless and putting at least Hagezi’s normal block list on it, just for a sane web browsing experience. Home Assistant is also really good, because it includes a bunch of stuff that you probably wouldn’t first think of. For instance, I’m using its API to request the indoor temperature from my home thermostat and the outdoor temperature from a weather module that it has built in, and I’ve programmed it to let me know when it’s too hot to walk the dog, and when to open/close the windows in the house to keep it as cool as possible in this heatwave. I’m using LeafWiki for home documentation. A list of things I intend to try hosting, my backup strategy which I’m bound to otherwise forget. I’m thinking about putting all of our meals on there so that we when we get tired of a particular meal for a while, we can return to it when we’re at a loose end with the shopping.
