Home network

This is what I am running and/or hosting on my home network. I plan on adding a NAS in the future. Unless otherwise mentioned, almost everything is ran on the Raspberry Pi. I'm hosting mainly Minecraft related stuff on an old gaming PC using Proxmox as a host for a couple Debian VMs.

  • • Raspberry Pi 4 Model B 4GB
  • • Old gaming PC (i7 3770K and 32GiB RAM) running Proxmox
  • • Purpose-built NAS PC (i9-9500T, 64GiB RAM, with 60TB storage + 10TB parity + 2GB cache) running Unraid
  • • Refurbished dell optiplex mini (i8-8500T and 8GiB RAM) dedicated streaming/transcoding box
  • • TP-Link AX4400 Wifi 6 Router
  • • APC 1500VA UPS battery backup to keep everything (except for the Proxmox machine) running in the event of a short power outage for about 30-45 minutes

Authentik

Identity provider. All of the services that support OIDC or LDAP I have setup to utilize Authentik for single sign on. Even for several services that don't (and even some that do but I don't trust the built-in auth), I still have the reverse proxy set up to redirect to authentik first.

Actual

Privacy-first personal finance management application. All of my budgeting and expense tracking is done through this. I used to use an app called YNAB, but it's more fun to self-host this. Plus I don't have to pay $100 a year anymore.

AdGuard Home

Ad-blocking DNS server. It provides ad-blocking for every device connected to my network. It supports DNS-over-https so I can still utilize it even when I am not home.

Caddy

Reverse proxy server with automatic HTTPS. I use a single Caddy instance to route all traffic to my exposed services. The Caddy instance itself is exposed via a Cloudflare Tunnel. Thanks to which I don't have to open up any ports on my router.

Homeassistant

Home automation software used to control smart plugs, locks, alarm system, etc.

Karaoke Eternal

Web-based karaoke software used to enjoy karaoke tracks and CDGs stored on the NAS. Multi-room and fair queue-management built-in for maximum convenience.

Minecraft servers

I am self-hosting 3 different Minecraft servers. One is just a proxy for the other two. The other two are a lobby where players funnel in through and a survival server. Eventually I might add more Minecraft servers, so that's why I am using this setup. These are all running on my old Gaming PC under one of my Proxmox VMs. I run two VMs total: one for the Pterodactyl panel, and the other for the actual Minecraft servers.

Personal website

I used to use netlify to serve this website. And that's certainly much more reliable than self-hosting. But honestly where's the fun in that!

Plex Media Server

Media streaming server used to consume content stored on my NAS.

Jellyfin

Media streaming server used to consume content stored on my NAS. It consumes the exact same content as Plex; having both just gives me multiple player options if one or the other has issues with certain types of content.

Portainer

Container management software. Almost everything I self-host is running in a container. Portainer is the management console for all of the containers that I run.

Pterodactyl

Minecraft server management panel. It's great for managing multiple minecraft servers. They can be monitored and controlled straight from the panel. I have this running on my old Gaming PC in one of the Proxmox VMs. The Minecraft servers themselves are running on another VM.

Vaultwarden

Bitwarden-compatible password manager. I store my passwords, passkeys, and secure notes on this application. And since it is Bitwarden-compatible, I can sync it with all mine and my family's devices.

...and much more!

There are so many more apps that I self-host to automate things like media aggregation and management. Many of the apps I self-host I used to pay monthly subscriptions for but that I have since cancelled.
