For setting up a e-mail server I can recommend https://github.com/LukeSmithxyz/emailwiz.
Other things I self host:
Gitea - http://gitea.io
MediaWiki - http://mediawiki.org
Not spending much time to maintain. E-mail is not full production (yet), it has low priority for me.
Owncloud, VPN
Gitea
Website
Ghost (blog)
DNS (PowerDNS)
Want to add:
Nextcloud
More DNS
Email
Bitwarden
Privacy services for other people.
all
I posted this in the News section about NextCloud If anyone is interested.
systemd service.
Kubernetes toy cluster. which I will host my NodeJS app on.
gitlab, bitwarden, nextcloud, emby
Vpn, mostly.
Every time I consider self hosting email, I remember it can quickly get a pita and just stick to gmail/outlook etc.
There are alternatives like https://mailbox.org which I would consider before self-hosting.
Protonmail is pretty decent. I know it has a bad rep because they were forced to reveal some emails because the Swiss government asked them to, but they are really good, not super cheap but decent prices for custom domains.
Depends what self-hosting means.
At home I host fileserver with FTP, HTTP, iSCSI, Tor bridges, Freenet nodes, VPN, if that can be called hosting, media server, etc. I have 3 houses and I prefer to have everything in one place and access remotely when I am not there.
Outside home I host webserver for 3 domains I help people with, email, FTP as well as the usual Tor relays and exits (where allowed), freenet, etc.
I am not hosting outside home anything new, whenever I need something like kubernetes, docker, I just spin on a VM in one of my home Proxmox nodes, but that is only for experiments, like seeing how many resources I could save by running docker instead of LXD as I am one vm/container for one app type of person wherever possible, for example, the mail I run with a webserver due to webmail integration even as I could have used a back-end for mail only, but the SME Server (formerly e-smith) is really safe and easy to maintain, albeit dated.
@emg I feel you're right about social engineering now.... 🥶
I self host vaultwarden, on a machine with no internet access, can access only via intranet.
Is there a way i can import things. To media wiki? I want to start one up bases on a certain category of things. But don't feel like manually making a page for each thing.
What's the point then? You wont be able to access it from outside when you are not home or office? Do you allow any specific IPs to access it when traveling?
I've tried self-hosting a handful of various things. When I want to do something new, I'm currently using this massive list as a starting point:
https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted
What I'm still self-hosting:
Synctube: https://github.com/RblSb/SyncTube
Serendipity(blog): https://github.com/s9y/serendipity
Bonobo Git: https://github.com/jakubgarfield/Bonobo-Git-Server
Uptime Kuma(monitoring): https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma
Piwigo(photo gallery): https://github.com/Piwigo/Piwigo
FileGator: https://github.com/filegator/filegator
Jellyfin(media server): https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin
Plus the usual FTP/SSH/DNS/VPN/static website stuff.
Maintenance is rather minimal. I generally don't update things unless there's a vulnerability or a new feature/bugfix that I want. I get the most mileage out of Jellyfin and Synctube.
I'm currently doing
Gaming news website
Anime news website
Image upload website
Image board website (down atm)
OH! and a clone of that old site weboasis
I self host following:
Many more to come !
The only I self-host (which I host locally) is cgit (Git) which include my password manager
~/.password-store
, Note taking using org-mode and markdown file from Markor apps my phone.Consider to trying self-host nextcloud for this year
What's bookstack? Like a wiki?
Yep, I used it as personal knowledge base → github https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack
Thanks for the recommendation. Will keep them in mind.
Typecho
my spirit.
I've already explained that I stay at home for around 360 days a year. Have you forgotten?
It changes on people's use cases tbh, for me it simply works.
Forgot about Jellyfin with the services attacked to that.
Also forgot about tor mirrors for my website. Want to add i2p but no idea how to set that up yet.
Vaultwarden
Jitsi Meet
Nextcloud
VPN
I think I have to change Nextcloud to something not so heavy. It's actually only a backup service for photos from my phone and I don't need more. I need app to auto upload photos to my vps. Any ideas what client app and what should I host as a server?
Wasn't Chevereto THE solution for hosting own photos?
https://chevereto.com/
Other alternatives:
https://piwigo.org/
https://lychee.electerious.com/
https://photoprism.app/
Thank You for the help Ympker!
I've been thinking to change even more light than those. No gallery and no photo sharing needed. Just simple autoupload new photos to vps. And when/if needed propably SFTP to download from vps.
I used to self host 42 apps and services (including email) until a few months ago, but now I have only:
Everything in Docker on GreenCloud virtual servers, and for uptime monitoring I use Uptime Kuma hosted in fly.io.
