I’m trying to find something to create Portuguese subtitles for my kids animes, there are a lot of pt_br and I use those when avaliable but there is a lot animes that I can’t find any and I really prefer that they watch in pt_pt ( yes, I’m nagging them to get better in English but read while watching is tricky for them yet)

I have a used Lenovo Thinkcentre mini with an i3-7100T and 16gb RAM. I have Ubuntu server LTS installed on it and I run everything in docker containers.

I host:

• jellyfin server for my friends and family
• qbittorrent to download for the JF server(behind a VPN)
• Jellyseerr for requests
• Jackett, Sonarr, and Radarr for downloads
• a Minecraft server

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.

Hey all, I’ve been slowly building services on my server over many many years, starting with running a minecraft ftb server, to where I am now, which is 1 primary system(providing the network filesystem) and 2 auxiliary minipc systems my brother in law recently donated. I moved from Docker to Docker Swarm after getting those MiniPC’s and enjoying the added compute. Currently my swarm is running:

• PiHole x2 - AdBlocking and Local DNS Management
• Wg-easy - for Wireguard VPN Management
• nginx - for reverse proxy servicing
• authentik - for Authentication and SSO
• Duplicati - for cloud backups(pointing at backblaze buckets)
• Guacamole - for RDP services
• Grafana+Prometheus+Node-Exporter+Cadvisor+AlertManager - for aggregation and system monitoring
• Gatus - single pane of glass monitoring of services(might remove it now that I’ve started using Grafana)
• diun - monitoring docker image versions and notification
• Bookstack - Personal Knowledge Base system
• Linkwarden - Collaborative Link Sharing and archiving
• Fasten Health - Local Health Records Storage
• SnipeIT - personal asset management
• Affine - self hosted cloud notebook
• Actual - Budgeting Software
• it-tools - for swiss army knife utilities
• kitchenowl - recipes and grocery lists
• Reactive resume - for resume building with AI empowered editing
• Onetimesecret - for burn after reading secret sharing(using it for distributing credentials to my family)
• Searxng - Local Search Aggregation
• Homarr - Personal Dashboarding
• Home Assistant - Smart Home Management
• N8n - Automating codeless workflows
• Ollama and Open-WebUI - personal Agentic AI
• AudioBookshelf - Audiobook streaming and Management
• OwnCloud - local file sharing and storage
• Plex - Video Streaming
• BitMagnet - DHT network sniffer
• syncthing - for transporting data between local and remote systems
• the *Arrs - for acquiring content
• Docspell - for digitizing and storing important documents
• picsur - for local meme storage
• Calibre+Calibre-web - for Ebook management
• Crafty Controller - for Minecraft Server Management
• RomM - For Emulation and ROM Management.

As I go about my day I’m always looking for new and interesting containers to run, and then scrutinizing if they fill a need, replace an existing service with a better version of the same service, or if it’s better off not implementing, then I pull them down. this has been a great experience in devops learning and the longer I work on the server the more best practices I put in place and the more I understand why corporate clouds have some of the practices they have. I look forward to poking around in this community looking to help and to find new containers to accrete into my platform.

I have an Asus NUC 12th gen with 32gb of ram and 1 TB of storage atm. I plan on expanding it with a DAS then run with that for a very long while until I can get a nice rack to play with and do some sys admin stuff down the line.

But ATM I got an arrstack going for Movies, TV, and Music. Alongside that I have Stalwart for mail, Immich for photo backup/gallery, Vaultwarden for password and auth manager, and opencloud for cloud storage.

Hardware:

• hp EliteDesk 800 G4 SFF
• i5-8500
• 32 GB RAM
• 250 ssd boot disk
• 1TB nvme
• 2 x 4 TB SSD

I run most of my services via Docker but also in their own LXCs on Proxmox:

• adguard
• borg-backup
• caddy
• forgejo
• filebrowser-quantum
• rackpeek
• opencloud, Baikal, obsidian-live sync
• immich
• paperless
• vikunja
• navidrome, octo-fiesta
• karakeep
• proxmox-backup-server

Next thing I want to set up would be arcane and maybe ansible, audio-bookshelf, and someday some monitoring.

I access my services only via NetBird when I am out and about.

The biggest flaw in my setup as for now is that I only have one device that’s a single point of failure. Since I have remote backups that’s okayish atm. In the future I would try to get ahold of more hardware and separate things out. For someone who just wanted to try things out a little I got my self kind of deep into it haha Performance vice its enough for me as a single user

Also: If anyone has any suggestions what I could do with my Oracle free tier VPS, besides running a Minecraft server, I would be happy to hear ideas :)

Currently HTTP, XMPP (internet chat) and Minecraft servers.

One of my favourite is Immich, to replace Google Photos: https://immich.app/

I had a small X.25 network as combination coffee-table and space-heater at one point; this was before most homes had internet. It almost cost me a divorce.

Main Server - 37 Containers, 4 VMs

• Media: Plex, Audiobookshelf, along with everything for a complete *arr stack
• Network: Cloudflared, NginxProxyManager, Tailscale, Gluetun (for *arrs)
• Other: Authelia, OpenVSCode, Filebrowser, SFTPGo, Bitcoin Node to support the network
• VMs: Parrot, Windows 11 for local and remote gaming, Windows 3.11 (because why not), currently spun up myNode to see if I want to explore hosting a Bitcoin Ligtning Node

Smarthome Server - OptiPlex 3050

• Containers: mqtt, NodeRed, zigbee2mqtt, homebridge, tailscale, pihole (paired with my phone usually)
• VM: HomeAssistant

Testing Server - OptiPlex 7060
Lately been testing and making stuff using linuxserver/docker-baseimage-kasmvnc.

• Arduino-IDE running in a container - with USB hotswap.
• Featherwallet and Electrumwallet (I use a HW-Wallet for HODL).
• Lutris, got it working with Hearthstone, but didn’t really have a use for it.
• Nomachine in kasmvnc, to (somewhat) smoothly access my VMs through the webbrowser when I just need something fast.
  Linuxserver Firefox.

XMR Mining Server - Old tired HP SFF
Basicly everything from this guide by seth for privacy; monerod, p2pool, tor, watchtower, and a python-webserver to expose metrics/api.

Feel free to take it as a chance to present yourself to the community!

Hello, my name is Zingo and I have a selfhosting addition going back to 2016 when I bought my first NAS with docker capabilities.

Community: Hi Zingo! Welcome!

Thank you.

Currently struggling more than even as it starts to take over my life. I have tried over hundreds of services.

I’ll try to find strength to list some at a later stage in this healing process. Sorry no bonus points. Maybe in the next session.

Thank you all for this awesome support. I would be lost without you. 💓

A cobbled together Ryzen 2400g with 16GB of ram. Open Media Vault/Docker: Plex Nextcloud stack with dns refresh/ssl/nginx Sonarr/transmission stack with VPN PiHole Octoprint

Occasionally I run a game server or two when the need comes up, mostly Valheim lately.
