What do you guys/gals host in your #homelab currently (Services etc.)?

Curious to see what services people provide! 😎

#FreeBSD #Debian #Linux #Ubuntu #Rocky #Homelab :linux: :freebsd:
IT people are odd in the sense that they often take their work home with them, constantly playing with gadgets and labs and such, just for the fun of it. i haven't built a home lab in several years, and i'm not sure i miss it... 🙂
@apgarcia
IT people sure are weird 😂
A #homelab is not mandatory by any means... it just is fun to fiddle around a little 😎
I have a media server (Plex), carddav and caldav server (radicale) at home hosted by FreeBSD. Wireguard, email, prosody servers on a VPS hosted by OpenBSD. Password manager (Vaultwarden), Nextcloud, security camera (MotionEye), syncthing, DNS filter (AdGuard home) servers again at home, hosted either by Debian Linux or containers.
@hakayova
Really neat! 😎
Beastie and puffy at it's finest I must say :openbsd: :freebsd:
I currently use KeePassXC with a shared password db on my Synology. Vaultwarden was pretty cool, had it running via #Docker before.
Not much, just a web desktop OS (ArozOS, pretty much handle all my needs), a few Apache servers for reverse proxy (my #homelab is distributed) and one of them also got php installed to host my homepage 😎
@tobychui
Sounds pretty cool 😎
You said your #homelab is distributed... can you elaborate on that? 🙂
I'm looking into getting a cheap VPS again to host my website. Currently, GitHub takes care of that 😉
My #homelab is quite small since I try to save electricity as much as possible.
A Synology, a Intel NUC (#Debian) and soon a #BSD machine (A NUC also)
I built my first Windows server with G3258 when I was in high school, and that machine stays at my parent house even after I moved out. I also place a few ARM based DIY NAS in uni (Armbian), my lab, my friends homelab (vm, Debian) and more. All linked together with reverse proxy with zerotier as backup. 🙌
@tobychui
That for sure is a distributed #homelab 😉
Ah backups, many understimate that too often - but you are covered from what I can tell 😎
Pretty neat all in all! 😀
Oh, if I exactly had one, most likely I'd host a pleroma instance.

Not many ideas come right now, but things like temporary file hosting, imageboard, matrix, fediverse, stuff I'd like to host, but only if I have a homelab xD
@nightquick
Maybe you will have a #homelan in the future - never say never 😎
Besides: Having huge machines is not important, the services offered are 😉
Nextcloud, Pihole, Librespeed, Cryptpad, Home-Assistant, FreeIPA, Matrix, Uptime Kuma, Transmission, Forgjeo, VSCode Server, Authelia, AWX, Outline, Umami and Mastodon. All Running on a 3 Host Proxmox Cluster with ZFS.
@Larvitz
Really nice! 😎
Also: Having a Proxmox cluster 😉
It‘s not really a “home”-lab. It’s 3 relatively cheap servers rented at Hetzner.
@Larvitz
Let's call it a outsourced homelab 😉
Still, it provides many services to you!
mostly stuff to make day to day life easier and help my gf.
Nextcloud - file sharing and backups, alternative to Google drive
Wiki (don't remember app name) - planning to document my homelab and findings
Jellyfin +*arr - Netflix like experience
Mail - mostly experiment
Bitwarden - password manager
Duplicaty - backups
Everything runs on rpi 4 and custom PC on docker. Connecting to it using cloudflare tunnels.
Planning to host pihole too.
@untriex
Always great when the hosted services are also usable to other people besides oneself 😉
Really cool stuff here.
I have to fiddle a little with nextcould and jellyfin
Neat 😎
@jhx :freebsd: :linux: Website, email, mumble, podcasts (mpd+castget+icecast to make a nice podcast host), Koha (library management), homeassistant, Emby (for media)

Basic suite of tools. ya know
@jhx
@silverwizard
Used mumble before to!
The basics are the most important part 😎
Great setup! 🙂
@jhx :freebsd: :linux: I've got a bunch of plugins for jjmumblebot to let me roll different kind of dice and track init for the RPG I play
@jhx
@silverwizard
That is quite a neat use case! 😎
