Has anyone tried running a Lemmy instance on theirs? I know it wouldn't be a good idea to run one for public use, but I'm curious if anyone has tried just for fun.

I have a pretty modest setup. This is just what’s in or on my cabinet rack.

1. Old two bay NAS
2. New five drive bay server I’m replacing the old NAS with and running local stable diffusion and language models on. I managed to fit my old nVidia 3070 in the rack mount case. There’s no way a card the size of a 3090 would fit
3. Some raspberry Pi’s
4. Rack mount firewall
5. Old Acer monitor, keyboard
6. Dumb PDU and an old battery backup that I replaced the batteries on
7. An old 802.11ac WiFi router set up as just a WAP, dedicated for home automation

Plan is to set up something like open stack but right now it’s just running unmanaged (orchestrated?) docker containers. I recently learned about ansible so may just automate the docker containers instead of figuring out open stack.

Box I built around a AMD Ryzen 7 3800X, running Ubuntu 22.04 and a handful of qemu VMs (owncloud, pihole, checkmk, etc..) A hand-me-down qnap I keep threatening to put truenas on but haven't yet. A couple libre computer (pi alternative) boards. A couple tp-link managed switches.

On my to-do list are to deploy an old Dell mini as an OpnSense box to replace my router.

Hi! I'm Michael and this is my first lemmyverse post!

An old Lenovo thinkstation with 128Gb RAM, 512Gb SSD (x2), 4Tb SATA (x2) and 2Tb SATA for ISOs and backups. Running proxmox with VMs (Windows Server 2022, Home Assistant, Win 11 RDP jumpstation, OPNSense firewall, unifi controller and a Linux general purpose server). I have a dedicated server also running proxmox with a webserver, monitoring server (openitcockpit), meshcentral server.

Raspberry pi 4 as a backup and motioneye server in my garage.

A couple of other raspberry pi 4s doing things... Including 2 at my caravan running HA, Plex and general stuff.

• My Raspberry Pi running Alpine, workint as a ~~dust collector~~ home server
• My Ryzen 5625U(from the top of my head) laptop which I use for light gaming and work mostly. Runs Artix Linux
• My beloved Ryzen 3 1200, RX 580, 2 1TB SSDs + 1 240GB SSD + 1 TB HDD. Also runs Artix Linux

Intel NUC running frigate and a minecraft server

Custom built PC (i3-10100, 16gb ram, GTX1070 for transcoding. 24tb array with two parity disk, 2x 3tb ssd's in array for docker, os, etc) with quite a lot of storage running Unraid, which is my media server, backup server, and now my lemmy server.

Network is a mikrotik Hex S router and a netgear gigabit switch, with 1gb fiber internet. 2 Ubiquity AP's for wifi in the house.

I have a relatively small setup, because of space and cooling constraints, but in that setup:

• Generic server with a Xeon E5-2697 v2, kinda old but it's still got 12c/24t, and 64 gigs of memory
• Around 40TB of storage space, of which I'm using roughly 1%. I'm not even a datahoarder, I'm just a storage space hoarder.

Everything I self host runs through Proxmox, either as a LXC container or as a RHEL 9 virtual machine. I also have a RasPi running Pi-Hole for ad blocking.

Raspberry Pi 4 with Raspbian. Nextcloud, Jellyfin, Citadel, Pi-hole, Webmin.

My main machine is an Optiplex 7070 micro (i5 8th gen, 16gb ram, 500gb SSD + 4TB hdd). I also have a pi 3 + 4tb hdd for backups and a pi 4 for wireguard. I have a few other SFF computers, but I don't have a use for them at the moment.

For services, I host many of the popular ones (nextcloud, portainer, paperless, etc.), but here's 3 I haven't seen mentioned a lot:

• komga (ebook reader, works well with tachyiomi on my tablet)
• kitchenowl (recipes and meal scheduling)
• calckey (activitypub server)

• 3 used MSFF PCs (i5, kingston SSDs, 24GB of ram each). All running proxmox, set up as a cluster.
• 1x Raspberry Pi 4 8GB. Running ubuntu.
• 1x Vultr 2vCPU/4GB RAM instance.

I've got a small kubernetes cluster set up using Talos with 3 controlplane / 3 workers in VMs on the proxmox nodes. The vultr node is also running Talos and attached to the same cluster. Their KubeSpan feature is pretty neat, automatic full mesh wireguard between all cluster nodes.
Traffic inside the cluster flows seamlessly between all nodes, and I can even use it as sort of a proxy server using Cilium's Egress Gateway function.

Meanwhile my Pi4 is running k3s, to host a few services needed to operate the main cluster, such as the Harbor registry operating as a cache and a zigbee2mqtt instance because I have a raspbee2 for a zigbee adapter.

The main reason I'm using K3S even on the single node Pi is because I very much like using flux to manage the deployments on the servers.

Network wise, I've got a USG-3P, one of the newer compact 16 port POE switch. And a pair of UAP-AC-LITE for APs.
Maybe one day I'll get around to switching the USG for something a little more capable. And maybe capable of doing IPS/IDS on my 500M/100M internet connection. But no idea what kind of specs I'd need for that.

Would also like a NAS but... eh.. Maybe I'll just see if i can add more storage to the proxmox nodes and expand the ceph cluster or something.

I had old laptops until yesterday. I now have a Lenovo P330 Tiny that I'm making my current server. Any tips are appreciated.

• Server: AMD Ryzen 5 5600, 16gb RAM, Slackware Linux, Nvidia GeForce 210, and something like 5 or 6 TB of space. Mainly used as a fileserver, but it also hosts my Matrix homeserver, some Fossil repos, and some other stuff.
• Desktop: Core i9-10850K, 64gb RAM, Slackware Linux, Nvidia RTX 3080, I think 2-3 TB of space, 4K monitor. It's a machine I originally got in 2003, and I've just continually upgraded myself in chunks it since then. There might be an original screw or cable left in it still - a real Ship of Theseus thing.
• Laptop: AMD Ryzen 3 3200U, 10gb RAM, Slackware Linux, 500mb SSD.
• Laptop 2: PineBook Pro with Slackware Linux.
• Bunch of Rasberry Pi 4s that are sometimes online, all running Slackware Linux. One's connected to a touchscreen inside of a 3D printed case and powered by a battery.

If you haven't guessed from the above, I use Slackware Linux 😜

A single MacBook Pro with a Core 2 Duo in, for now.

• Little servers - 3 x Pentium D-1508s w/32GB RAM, 2 x 400GB SSDs
• Big server - 1 x Dual Xeon E5-2650L v3 w 128GB RAM, 2 x 100GB SSDs, 2 x 400GB SSDs, 2 x 800GB SSDs, 8 x 4TB HDDs
• Desktop - 1 x Ryzen 5800X3D w 32GB RAM, 1 x 2TB NVMe SSD, RTX 4080
• Cheap TP-Link 10Gbps switch
• Proxmox running across the servers, the 400GB SSDs are running Ceph, everything else in ZFS
• VyOS in a VM for routing etc.., 2Gbps symmetric internet
• Mostly LXC at present, in the process of migrating that to Hashicorp Nomad (running inside VMs) backed by Ceph

I used to run 2 hp proliant servers. One Proxmox and one truenas. Now it's just one old AMD PC running Ubuntu server with some dockers. My electric bill is thanking me. About to move it all to an Intel NUC and downsize even further.

Intel NUC with a hard drive for local stuff (*arrs, jellyfin), but nowadays because I plan to go back to full-time motorhoming I fire up stuff on DO, hetzner, AWS, GCS, etc as required. At the moment just a Lemmy and general purpose instance, but I do pop up the odd gameserver I've dockerized on one of these services while playing with friends

Currently running a docker environment from a laptop with the following:

Firefly III - For budgeting

Seafile - For file sync. Was using OneDrive, but since it's not supported by Linux went with Seafile. Works great!

Keycloak - SSO

Cloudflare Tunnel - For connection to my services from outside without needing to forward ports, and to enforce SSO for platforms that don't support it.

PHP Apache - Hosting a few small websites

Raspberry pi 1: pivpn, pihole Raspberry pi 3: home assistant Raspberry pi 4: some leftover docker containers.. move in progress Mini pc (1tb ssd, 20gb ram): arr stack, plex, audiobookshelf, vaultwarden, mealie, photoprism, and some more Synology NAS: 23tb

Documentation is only in my head so far...

I have a Raspberry Pi B running Pihole, a Raspberry Pi 4 8GB running a bunch of services for personal/family use (wiki, nextcloud, paperlessngx, etc), and then a VPS that was running a bookwyrm instance and now is also running Lemmy :)

Intel NUC i5 8XXXX running promox. I run home assistant, frigate & plex. Data storage is via the NAS DS 918+ but I do run some of their packages on that too & a couple more on the router / network.

Home assistant is particularly useful for running a bunch of add ons that I’d otherwise need to run as separate services in proxmox like adguard

I’ve just built my first NAS. I went very overkill for my needs, so bought 5x8TB drives, 32GB of RAM, a Ryzen 5600G, and 1TB of NVMe SSD storage to compliment my HDD space. I’ve installed TrueNAS and have plugged the HDDs into a RAID-Z2 config, yielding about 20TB of usable space, with the 1TB SSD being a separate pool for anything that can benefit from faster IO, which have generally been applications / VMs. Currently using it as a network drive for all my data, and am using BorgBackup to ensure everything’s backed up. At some point I’d like to get a remote BorgBackup repository going, but I’ve not gotten around to it yet.

I’m also using it to host a VM for my web dev projects I can access via RDP and Tailscale, and have started installing PhotoPrism for my photos, SyncThing for my dev projects (so I can continue coding across my PC and laptop seamlessly), and eventually I’d like to get Plex / Jellyfin going, though I already have a setup going via WhatBox.
