Hello everyone! Mods here 😊
Tell us, what services do you selfhost? Extra points for selfhosted hardware infrastructure.
Feel free to take it as a chance to present yourself to the community!

My stack (Docker on Pi 5/Debian) is much bigger than this, but my top three favourites (not in any particular order) are:
- Adguard Home (browsing on my phone is finally bearable).
- Wireguard (using wg-easy) to not deal with port forwarding.
- Ignis, which I heavily prefer over WebObsidian. Aside from CouchDB giving me hell, it doesn’t use VNC to stream to your browser–it’s built on Electron and all the hard work is done in-browser (am happy to glaze this project further).
Host all the things!
Wordpress, SMTP/IMAP, tor, bittorrent, Nextcloud, Plex, NTP, photo galleries, DoT…
I even started hosting the website for my local Italian restaurant and they haven’t even realised it yet.
Wait, what? How are hosting someone else’s website?
OK, here’s how it happened.
I was hungry, and I wanted to see the menu for my local pizza joint. I couldn’t find it anywhere.
I discovered that all their socials linked to a website that wouldn’t load. When I checked, the domain had lapsed.
Out of frustration, I purchased the domain and pulled the last snapshot of their website off archive.org. It had their full menu as a PDF.
6 months later and it’s still getting visitors from their facebook page, who are viewing the menu. They haven’t even realised.
