PiHole, Jellyseerr, Radarr, Sonarr, Emby, Syncthing, Homepage, Home Assistant, and Snipe-IT.

PiHole is self explanatory.

Jellyseerr, Radarr, Sonarr, Syncthing and Emby are used for media management and streaming, alongside a remote seedbox.

Homepage is a locally hosted browser landing page with widgets for network monitoring.

Home Assistant for locally hosted home automation controls.

Snipe-IT for asset management. Way overkill for a home user, but it's free to self-host. Make sure all my assets are listed, can upload receipts, photos warranty info, manufacturer info, etc. so it's a single place to find all of that information if I ever need it.

Please don't go the RaspberryPi route for serious self-hosting, you'll regret it later when you'll realize it's not powerful enough for ie NextCloud. It can handle PiHole for example (minus digging through the historical logs / stats via its interface), but when adding more and more services (Nextcloud, Jellyfin, a VPN, home automation, etc), it will be easier to expand via VMs (Proxmox) / Docker on a single machine that you need to maintain, you'd have easier snapshot backups, single point for firewall rules, etc, than adding RPIs. Buy a mini server, you'll have flexibility, room for upgrade, and the costs and power consumption will be justified when scaling to multiple services.

I have three different RPIs. One is a 3b+ running Pi-hole. One is a 4 running OMV. One is a 5 running the basic PiOS for playing YouTube for my partner while they work.

I feel like I could be doing this better, but I’m ignorant. I would love some tips if anyone sees this comment.

My Pi 3b+ has an endurance MicroSD, my 4 has a SSD, and my 5 has a high end Sandisk Micro.

You could create a NASpi! Check it on YouTube

Gotify. Home Assistant. DDClient.

Media server, two players, openwrt mesh, webserver.

Now we own (in this economy!) adding in a beefier firewall so we can run up a hubitat on a dedicated proxmox and looking at setting up a pve for work reasons because fuck cloning all these system OS drives. Maybe nagios for shits and giggles

On a pi, specifically?

Mine is currently running Mailrise and serving as a qdevice for Proxmox. It used to run nginx as a reverse proxy, but I moved that to a different machine. I had a second pi specifically for sharing USB devices over the network, but I wasn't using it very much so it's currently not in use.

If you're looking for general ideas, I think a pi would make a good appliance for ddclient, Homepage/Dashy, an SSH/VPN jumpbox, UPS monitoring, or a notification platform. Basically, any set-and-forgot service that you want to keep running 24/7.

NetAlertX does network detection monitoring if that's what you are after. I've been very happy with it, I use the ntfy forwarder so I get the alerts on my phone.

Proxmox Setup:
- Specs:
- 128GB RAM DDR5 6000mhz (non-ECC, planning to upgrade soon)
- AMD 7950X3D
- RTX 4090 & RTX 4060ti

- Current VMs:
- Windows 11 LTSC (RTX 4090 passthrough): For Assetto Corsa in VR.
- Windows 11 LTSC: Barebones VM for my partner to RDP into from an old MBP, saving her the cost of a new laptop.
- Debian (RTX 4060ti passthrough): My daily driver.
- Windows 11 LTSC: Work VM (imo work is not the place to be tinkering, the office is on Windows so I'd better just join in).
- Windows 11 LTSC: For League of Legends, though I'm struggling with Vanguard... perhaps a blessing in disguise.
- Arch (RTX 4060ti passthrough): For those rare moments when I crave the bleeding edge (less frequent as I get older).

RPi
- YunoHost:
- GlitchSoc (modded Mastodon)
- GitLab: For my Git repositories.
- LinkStack: Repository of all my public-facing projects.
- BookStack: For publishing study guides and my PhD work.
- Docker:
- Jellyfin Stack: Including all the 'arr' services (too many to list/remember).

Network Infrastructure:
- Network: Isolated VLANs, some tunneling through public VPNs (think ExpressVPN) and others through a private VPS. Not going to go into too much detail here (security through obscurity and all that)

All this is running on a 25/10 Internet connection on DynamicIP, reverse proxies, DDNS and a QoS router was a lifesaver.

Everything hosted on an old spare Asus gaming laptop (8 years old) via docker. I'm slowly thinking to invest in a N100 as more advanced routing capabilities and VM for my docker containers. Right now I can access all my services via Wireguard but want to expend it to make it available over my network.
