I have a few containers on my Synology DS923+:

 

 

These are accessible over the Internet as they are behind Cloudflare Zero Trust. So if you try visiting Stirling PDF (freitasm.com), you should be presented with a request to log in - either via email (a family list) or via Azure.

 

In the list below there are a couple of other services served directly (so not in the container list above), for example my ESP32 running Tasmota BLE for the temperature sensors, the HP printer, the ILO on my home desktop and the Synology NAS itself. Again, all behind Cloudflare Zero Trust, so there's no port forwarding involved here.

 

 

The NAS:

 

 

 

The NAS is connected with two Eth cables to a HP managed switch:

Slightly veering off-topic, how do you find the DS923+?

It's incredibly versatile. I've added more memory (up to 12 GB as per screenshot) and use it with 3x 4 TB drives and 2x 1 TB NVMe SSD for cache. Planning on replacing the HDD to 3x 8 TB soon, although still have 2 TB available - no I don't store digital media (except quite a few GB of family photos), but there's a lot of backup in there: Microsoft OneDrive, Azure Exchange, Google Workplace (files and mailboxes of close family) plus full laptop/desktop image backups for our computers.

I'm rocking a 3 node Proxmox cluster, and run most things as containers on a 6 node OpenShift (k8s) cluster.

 

The main offenders:

 

  • Plex/Sonarr/Radarr/Tdarr/Overseerr/Tautulli
  • qBittorrent/SABnzbd
  • Immich
  • FreshRSS
  • LibreNMS
  • Home Assistant
  • ZNC
  • Pi-hole (x2 VMs)
  • MySQL
  • A few personal projects in various states of development

Everything is configured via ArgoCD, so I use renovatebot to manage updates in a git repo (in lieu of Watchtower).

 

2 of the Proxmox nodes are acting as a NAS too, using ZFS and serving via NFS/SMB. Most of the time my lab uses 200-250w (total), noticeable on the power bill but still worthwhile.

 

I have a couple of things running on a cheap dedicated server in Canada, like Mailcow (yes, I am a masochist), a Github runner and Uptime-kuma.

I host the following in Docker on a Raspberry Pi 4 8GB with a 128GB m.2 SSD - though it only uses 1.5GB of RAM:

 

  • Home Assistant
  • AppDaemon (lets you write Python that integrates with HA)
  • PosgreSQL for HA
  • Pihole
  • Nginx
  • CloudflareD - hosting a few family websites on the public internet, with Nginx
  • SyncThing
  • Watchtower (emails me if there are new versions of in-use container images are available)

Plus an EC2 server running mostly web serving, plus a few other things.

I feel somewhat less of a geek after seeing this thread... I think all I have is my personal website, Subversion repo (I'm sure the Git brigade will give me flak for that) and VPN.

So I self host:

 

  • Paperless-ngx - bills, receipts etc
  • Photoprism - google photos replacement
  • Nextcloud - files, contacts, calendar, photos
  • Jellyfin and plex - media
  • code-server - visual studio code browser based
  • Home Assistant - home automation
  • Homebridge - homekit automation service
  • traccar - car tracking
  • Gogs - self hosted github
  • TT-RSS for rss reading
  • influx/grafana - metrics and visualisation
  • restic - local backups
  • unifi controller - for unifi networks

Among other support things (watchtower for updating containers, uptime-kuma for monitoring, healthchecks for job monitoring).

Some of the ones I like are:

 

  • Ignition maker edition  (It does some of the stuff that I was using Home Assistant for.  Not a replacement for HA , but it does some stuff better IMO)
  • Heimdall
  • Node-Red

I'm a geek, a gamer, a dad, a Quic user, and an IT Professional. I have a full rack home lab, size 15 feet, an epic beard and Asperger's. I'm a bit of a Cypherpunk, who believes information wants to be free and the Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it. If you use my Quic signup you can also use the code R570394EKGIZ8 for free setup.

I'm surprised more of you aren't hosting your own e-mail.

 

Of the 'dedicated' hardware/VM environments I have setup, I have..

 

CCTV (BlueIris - Windows)
Television (Tvheadend - FreeBSD)
E-mail (OpenSMTPD/Dovecot - FreeBSD)
Automation (Mosquitto/Node-RED - FreeBSD)
Router - pfSense (FreeBSD)
VM (bhyve/BVCP - FreeBSD) - Runs multiple FreeBSD and Linux remote development and test environments.

 

Any ancillary services such as databases are local to each environment.

 

I also have thee Synology NAS boxes, one recently retired. They are dedicated NAS/iSCSI boxes.

 

I do have media, but no Plex etc., just file browsing and several CoreELEC front ends.

 

EDIT: Also multiple remote servers running nginx and my own e-mail software.

Because, of all these services, email is the most likely to stop working due to bad IP address neighbourhood, ISP configuration not allowing reverse resolution, etc.
