What do you self-host?
I'll start:
- Kubernetes
- Nextcloud
- Matrix-synapse
- Minecraft
- Authoritive DNS servers (powerDNS)
- Mail-servers (postfix, and Haraka)
- Peertube
- Writefreely
- GoToSocial (a small footprint fediverse server)
- CalcKey (fediverse software)
- My own small websites
- Some small bots
- Kubernetes
- VPN
The Hardware I use:
- A bunch of Dell Optiplexes, Proliant Microserver G8, Synology NAS, mikrotik switches.
- And a rack with a 100TB ceph cluster with some friends with a total of 700 cores and 4tTB RAM
I host Mealie, Vikunja and Searxng.
Offtop: noticed you're hosting Matrix. Is Matrix-synapse with bridges challenging to maintain?
Cheers!
Had to format my post, since the mobile client I posted it with did not apply the formatting that I did :)
I am currently running a minecraft<>matrix bridge and a telegram-bridge. I used to host those bridges for public use (3k+ users), but that was hard since it used up so much hardware. Now it is only for family and friends, and that is working so much better :)
Sweet! I heard that recent versions of Synapse is less of the resource hog it was. Thank you so much!
Indeed it is! I remember a big change in resource-use between 1.18 and 1.22. And it is even less now. My server has joined many big rooms and it is doing great on 1 core and 1gb ram (even thou I have allocated more to it).
How does Vikunja work btw?
It's awesome. I was torn between Joplin and Vikunja, but since I'm using Logseq for my notes, I utilize Vikunja as a quick todo app, which helped me to stay organized. Working great, I auto-update it using Watchtower and never had any issues :)
Thanks! I'll check it out :) Noticed that vikunja has a fedi-account @[email protected]
Wow, quite the impressive hardware setup there!
I rent a couple of virtual servers (including the one this is running on) from a few providers.
I also host a couple of game servers on a Dedicated machine.
Don't have any physical hosting myself, don't have the resources for such a thing!
I used to self-host a few utilities like a cloud storage solution, link shortener, paste provider, image host etc. but got fed up of maintaining it all ha!
Nowadays I just run a small number of game servers, and CompuVerse!
I am actually decomissioning the serverrack I have with my friends just because lack of time.
Used to run a lot of small things for the community, but like you - time and resources was lacking.
Out of curiosity, what's the purpose of the authoritative DNS servers?
They server my domains and 100 other domains, one of the also act as a slave/secondary DNS server for others who wish to use it.
