A simple question to this community, what are you self-hosting? It’s probably fun to hear from each-other what services we are running.

Please mention at least the service (e.g. e-mail) and the software (e.g. postfix). Extra bonus points for also mentioning the OS and/or hardware (e.g. Linux Distribution, raspberry pi, etc) you are running on.

    Pretty much anything I can. Host OS is mostly Debian with Docker, only the Git Server is running on Alpine. Hardware-wise everything is running on Proxmox with an FreeBSD NAS for backup and data storing

      Hi, thank you for your comment. I was wondering if you could tell me more about the Lemmy instance you have hosted. Which ports did you have to forward? What are some of the problems you faced trying to host it?

      Thanks!

        The lemmy instance works fine so far. I had some problems migrating the nginx config file from the lemmy manual migrated to traefik, but it works with this guide here.

        I’m not really forwarding ports, but I’m rather using a more complex setup. I have two devices - my router and an external VPS hosted in a datacenter. These devices are connected via WireGuard. On the VM where all my services are installed there is traefik installed which is used as reverse proxy for the services and does TLS. The VPS has HAProxy configured to the internal VM in TCP mode, which makes the services available from outside and is important to get valid Let’s Encrypt certificates as I’m not using DNS Verification.

        I know it’s a bit hard to understand, but it works fine for me and I’m not depending on any third-providers (other than the Hoster of the VPS, which I can easily swap if needed).

          Thank you, I have been wanting to understand how to do this myself (a bit of complex networking but I hope I can manage) instead of relying on Cloudflare (how do you replicate the protection offered by Cloudflare though?) - would you be able to point me towards any guides regarding your setup?

          Thanks!

            I didn’t have a guide available, so I created one just now here.

            From the Protection side you are right. My setup does not have DDoS protection or the WAF offered by Cloudflare, but as I didn’t need that (yet) I’m fine with it. Would be something to look into, should I even get enough traffic on my pages that machine could not handle it.

        It works fine for my use-case which is basically just tracking my work-time for the employer I’m working at, so I don’t really use the freelancing options like invoicing.

        Had some problems with the docker container, because they did some breaking changes, but overall it works for me.

        It also supports SAML so I can use it with Keycloak and there is an app for the iPhone, which I’m using that works nicely with it.
