Currently all containerised running on a debian VM on a Rockylinux Qemu/KVM hypervisor. Initially I was using rocky+podman but inevitably hit something I wanted to run that just straight up needed docker and was too much effort to try and get working. 🤷
Hardware is an circa 2012 gaming machine with a few ZFS raids for all of my Linux ISOs. It lives an extremely tortured existence and longs for the sweet release of death.
Toying with the idea of migrating it all to on-prem virtualised kubernetes cluster using helm charts to manage the stacks and using NFS mounts for persistent storage because I hate myself (and to upskill I guess)

One thing I’ve not been able to find, unfortunately, is a good replacement for subsonic for my 1.5TB mp3 and FLAC collection.
Everything I’ve tried to host dockerized has just crawled.
But other than that, hosting mostly for nyswlf…
The typical arrs, subsonic, spotweb, pinhole, duckdns, caliber, calibre web, qbittorrent via a dockerized vpn client
All containerized
Airsonic has been rock solid for (just) me in docker behind npm on a 6yo celeron nuc
I was considering airsonic. How large is your music collection? That’s what seems to kill every other self hosted service i tried
18,000 songs
Gotcha ok so that may be the difference. Right now I’m at…
4,843 artists 18,708 albums 235,303 songs 2254.59 GB 16,936 hours
And so media services that catalog and server that all seem to puke big time. Except for subsonic for some reason.
Wow I feel so small time
It’s a result of lidarr just doing its own thing and me dropping new artists onto it every time I hear something I like, multiplied by a few years

Wouldn’t you have your kindle disconnected from the net since ur pirating?
You can send with calibre-web to kindle if you have an amazon account. You get a specific address for your kindle. They appear under documents in your library, legal or otherwise.
Amazon has always turned a blind eye to the ‘send to kindle’ backdoor for getting pirated content onto the kindle

this site runs of parts scavenged from a roadside sign
Love keeping that old tech alive! My Core 2 Duo died a couple of years back, if I could figure out a way to leverage old mobile phones for some sort of project I would.
I’ve always called it ‘ghetto IT’ personally.
I’m not a huge fan of PC fans if I can help it, since I know they’re one of the points of failure (and they’re also loud)
I like the idea of using old smart phones too, I figure if you used something like a nexus 5x maybe you could pull it off with a powered USB-C hub?
My dream was to find a way to leverage them as poor man’s IP camera or something …one day…
I think there’s already apps for that.
Far quicker to share a screenshot of my dashboard
Quicker but not ideal for users with visual impairments :/
Well, instead of being a victim and fucking whinging about it just ask. Not my job to guess if people have a vision impairment, but I’ll happily oblige if asked nicely.
Hello, I went through and wrote down all the applications and services from the image, enjoy.
wow! Very long list!

Is there an anime radarr / sonarr setup guide you followed?
I haven’t finished setting those up, but will be using TRaSH Guides as a starting point. I used their guides for my regular 1080p and 4K setups, and have been pretty happy with them.
Thanks a lot, wallabanged and will look at it later 😁
What software is the dashboard in? I’ve seen similar ones here before but not sure what people are using to see it all at a glance like that.
That’s Dashy. I’ve only just started using it recently. I like it because I can edit it on the fly - no need to dive into the YAML behind it (which I had to do when I was using Homer).
Nothing too crazy. I use Proxmox on hardware that used to be a gaming rig (4th gen Intel) and I upped the RAM to 32GB.
- Plex
- Home Assistant
- NextCloud
- VM to host Duplicati + Samba which backs up some shared storage.
- VM that contains the extremely specific build environment for one of my mechanical keyboards
- VM that contains my ESP Home environment.
- VM for Docker based web development because as good as WSL is, it still sucks sometimes.
Some of my “VMs” are actually LXCs but I can’t remember which are which at the moment.
Playing with ZFS was fun too, and it puts all that RAM to good use!
I’ve also been meaning to create a VM for Dokku, but I haven’t had a strong enough need yet.
I self-host a ton of software. For context, I’m leveraging docker-compose on top of TrueNAS SCALE:
- Monitoring
- Prometheus
- Grafana
- the basic dockprom exporters: nodeexporter, cadvisor
- NUT Exporter (UPS statistics)
- PiHole exporter
- UptimeKuma
- Ad blocking
- PiHole
- unbound (censor-resilient DNS resolver)
- dnsproxy (in order to use PiHole on my smartphone and laptop outside my home network)
- Media
- Plex
- Transmission
- Sonarr
- Radarr
- Bazarr
- Jackett
- Flaresolverr
- Services exposed to the outside world
- Bunkerweb (security-hardened nginx reverse-proxy)
- Bird.makeup (Twitter to Mastodon bridge)
- FreshRSS
- n8n (automation software, think IFTTT or Zapier, but open-source and on steroids)
- Self-Host Planning Poker (my very own software!)
- Courier (parcel tracking software)
- Overseerr (user-friendly interface for friends and family to request movies and shows, plugs into Sonarr, Radarr and Plex)
- Lemmy
- Kresus (personal finance)
- Wireguard (VPN I use as a gateway into my home network)
- Caddy (reverse proxy with HTTPS, I use it for serving locally everything I do not expose to the outside world)
- Restic server (an HTTP server to push Restic backups from various computers at home)
- wakeonlan-cron-docker (because TrueNAS doesn’t allow installing WoL package. Once again, I made it myself)
What I’m looking into at the moment:
- Tandoor Recipes (deployed but I cannot make CSRF work with my reverse-proxy so far)
What I’ll be looking into in the near future:
- Promtail + Grafana Loki to aggregate Docker containers logs in Prometheus/Grafa
- Immich (Google Photos alternative with automated backups from smartphones)
How did you do Caddy on TrueNAS Scale? Docker-compose also? Im currently hosting a lot of stuff you are, but all with truecharts apps via docker. Ultimately used traefik this time, but I like the simplicity of the caddyfile a lot.
When I read through your post, it feels like you are me in 5 years if everything goes well.
I don’t know how I haven’t ever heard of n8n before but I finally was able to get my old ass mFi controller to be able to completely talk to Home Assistant again. Thank you!
I run everything on top of the docker-compose chart, which allows me much more flexibility that I would ever have with official TrueNAS apps and TrueCharts.
I see, thanks! Wanted to get my stuff up and running as quick as possible, but Ill be looking into doing things this way next.
- Monitoring
Everything is running on a Synology NAS. Media lives on a 16TB raid array of HDD, and the containers themselves on a RAID 1 of two NVMe SSDs. This helps with spinning down the HDD when not in use and overall power consumption is very reasonable.
On the host:
- Tailscale to connect remotely
- Synology Photo as a great photo library
Then everything in Docker containers, deployed via compose stacks from Git and Portainer, very easy to update! Also using Watchtower to automatically updates containers that are using the “latest” tag.
- arr stack. With notably Recyclarr that allows to sync from TrashGuides the recommended media quality profiles
- Jellyfin
- Miniflux for RSS. Recently switched from Feedly… it’s so much better. Allows full text extraction when the feed isn’t.
- Calibre + Calibre Web for the interface, ebooks management
- Home Assistant + Zigbee2mqtt for home automation
- Nginx proxy manager to reverse proxy a handful of services (those with shared logins, e.g. Jellyfin…)
- Paperless-Ngx for documents management
- Change detection for websites monitoring (e.g. price changes…)
- Flame for a simple “dashboard” with all these links
- Nextcloud
- OnlyOffice container
- Jellyfin media server
- Gitea
- DokuWiki
- Woodpecker CI container for building static websites and other CI tasks for hobby projects
- HAProxy load balancer to forward external traffic to the right services
- A pair of web servers hosting various websites/apps
- A pair of Postfix acting as internal mail relays that sends mail through Mailgun
- SaltStack for configuration management
- Munin for monitoring
- MariaDB database for various internal apps
- Four internal BIND DNS servers (two are the primary and replica on virtual machines, then two more replicas on Pis in the event the VMs go down)
- OpenLDAP directory server for centralized auth
- Kanboard for video project tacking
- Postgres database for DaVinci Resolve projects
- UniFi controller
- Backup server hosted on a Raspberry Pi 4 w/ a pair of 5TB external HDDs in a BtrFS mirror
And most importantly: as of recently I’m self-hosting Lemmy and Kbin instances for myself to try them out! Kbin was a pain to setup, but I seem to be liking it more.
It’s all running on two Ryzen R7 1700 systems with 64GB of RAM in one and 48GB in the other (long story), and virtual disk storage is done over a 10Gb iSCSI link to a TrueNAS system with two 1TB SSDs in a RAIDz mirror. I’ve also got an unRAID NAS that hosts my video project files. Pretty smooth overall :D
Oooh I’m getting motivated by this post.
- Home Assistant
- Pihole
- Jellyfin
- Plex
- *arr series, at least up when I am looking for specific content
- Lemmy
I tried Mastodon. Too resource intensive for little I use it.
Next up in my list to try:
- Vaultwarden
- Peertube
- Matrix
- Bookwyrm
- Caddy
- Vaultwarden
- LLDAP
- AdGuard + Sync
- Linkding + Injector
- Jellyfin + Infuse (tvOS) & FinAmp (iOS)
- Pocketbase
- Uptime-kuma
- Cloudflared
Services that I’m experimenting with:
- Owntone
- Gonic + Supersonic (macOS) & play:Sub / Amperfy (iOS)
- Calibre (can’t get Kobo sync working reliably)
- Audiobookshelf (love the idea but not using much yet)
