Starting to fall down the rabbit hole of self hosting,
Unraid, Plex & Pihole. Next project is Opnsense, then starting to look at Home Assistant.

Minecraft server, a pingvin share site for myself, tubearchivist, pihole, pivpn, 25mb video compressor with a script and incrontab along with the same thing but for GIFs. I think that's most of the list
I run one main hypervisor with a bunch of different Ubuntu server VMs that I spin up as I mess with different things. I'm old-school so I am not a fan of cloud computing or even docker. Services I host that I use the most are NAS (samba), plex, pi-hole, dokuwiki (huge documentation nerd), and zoneminder which is a great open-source security cam software.
Everything except Node-exporter running in containers on a single Ubuntu machine. i5-6500T, 16gb RAM & 1TB.
Media Stack
- JellyFin
- Sonarr
- Radarr
- Calibre
- Calibre-Web
IT Stack
- FreshRSS
- IT-Tools
- Prometheus
- Grafanna
- Node-Exporter
- Watchtower
I use a combination of a MacMini Oracle cloud, probably not best long term solution but it's free (while it lasts).
Stuff that runs on Oracle:
- caddy proxy (mostly used for Mac reverse proxy)
- couch db (obsidian live sync plugin)
Stuff on Mac:
- blue bubbles (iMessage relay for Android)
- Plex (for photo backup)
Aside from that not much else π
I host:
- docker-mailserver
- code-server
- Vaultwarden
- Flame Dashboard
- FreePad
- Gotify
- Nextcloud
- Baikal
- Mosquitto
- HomeAssistant
- Node-RED
- InfluxDB
- Grafana
- piHole, Cloudflare DNS over HTTPS client
- Uptime Kuma
- Nginx Proxy Manager
- wg-easy
- Shiori
- MeTube
- Sonarr, Radarr, Jackett, Unpackerr,...
- qBittorrent, Gluetun
- Jellyfin
- Watchtower
- Honeygain, Pawns App, Peer2Profit, Traffmonetizer
- 4 Websites via Nginx
- a few services that I wrote myself
I think that should be it. I left out some less important ones and probably forgot a few that I don't use that often. All these services are spread across 2 servers at home and a small VPS mainly used for the mailserver and Uptime Kuma.
Honeygain etc.... First time I hear about them. Do you mind sharing how much you get?
It really depends on the type of IP you have and your location, but it's really not much for me. From Honeygain I get like 20 bucks every 6 months and when paying out the money around 4$ get lost by transaction fees, but better than nothing and those services use so few resources, you don't even notice them running in the background.

Running xen hypervisor (Debian 12) on a HP Elitedesk 805 Gen6 (currently 10 VMs) at home, a few VPS from different hosting providers too.
Hello
Let's have a look at the inventory
-
RPI 4B
- OpenHab (Openhabian actually, so some additional services like Zigbee2MQTT or Grafana)
-
HP EliteDesk 800 G2 i5-6500T, 8GiB RAM - this one is currently the mainstay of my lab, running containers with docker-compose
- Nginx as reverse proxy (+ fail2ban)
- Paperless-ngx (+ Redis, Tika, Gotenberg)
- Jellyfin
- Minecraft server (+ Mapcrafter)
- ddclient
- Heimdall
-
Dell OptiPlex 7060 Micro i7-8700T 32GiB RAM
- I've gotten this one fairly recently. A real bargain - costed as much as the CPU alone and was in pristine condition. I will be migrating the workload from EliteDesk to this one. I decided to try ProxMox this time though, so I need to learn a bit first. Also perhaps add a second SSD

I selfhost a lot of the normal stuff everyone else does. Plex, AdguardHome, etc...
I also have a 96+ port dial-up server system: https://2600.network
