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.

    I’ve got 3 “servers” at home right now.

    • Raspberry Pi 4B 8gb: “RPINode0”
    • Raspbery Pi 4B 8gb: “RPINode1”
      • hosts a few internal websites / APIs for staging (controlled via the docker API)
      • hosts Home Assistant for me
    • Unraid NAS: “Moonturtle”
      • NGINX Proxy Manager: for exposing stuff to the internet
      • Nextcloud: for file management and access. Most of my family uses this as opposed to Google Drive.
      • Umami: website analytics
      • Jellyfin: for watching movies and tv shows I’ve ripped
      • Uptime Kuma: uptime monitoring and reporting
      • DDNS updater: dynamic DNS updater so I can keep my DNS records up to date (don’t have a static IP)
      • Portainer: for managing docker instances on RPINode1
      • MySQL/PostgreSQL/Redis: provides database services to all the stuff listed above
      • Flower: for monitoring Celery queues used by a few of my applications.
      • WireGuard: VPN for remote management of the server and access to the services I don’t have exposed outside my network

        I run a web-dev consulting company on the side and I have a few apps that use Celery queues. The main reason you’d want to use celery is to handle more intensive tasks asynchronously in the background.

        Some example from my apps:

        • user requests a report: celery task is enqueued to generate the report as a PDF/CSV and email it to them
        • admin adds a new user: celery task is enqueued to send an invite email out to the user, as well as some onboarding emails
        • user requests to modify a large amount of items: multiple tasks are enqueued to update the items in batches of x amount.
