Hey all, I’ve been slowly building services on my server over many many years, starting with running a minecraft ftb server, to where I am now, which is 1 primary system(providing the network filesystem) and 2 auxiliary minipc systems my brother in law recently donated. I moved from Docker to Docker Swarm after getting those MiniPC’s and enjoying the added compute. Currently my swarm is running:
PiHole x2 - AdBlocking and Local DNS Management
Wg-easy - for Wireguard VPN Management
nginx - for reverse proxy servicing
authentik - for Authentication and SSO
Duplicati - for cloud backups(pointing at backblaze buckets)
Guacamole - for RDP services
Grafana+Prometheus+Node-Exporter+Cadvisor+AlertManager - for aggregation and system monitoring
Gatus - single pane of glass monitoring of services(might remove it now that I’ve started using Grafana)
diun - monitoring docker image versions and notification
Bookstack - Personal Knowledge Base system
Linkwarden - Collaborative Link Sharing and archiving
Fasten Health - Local Health Records Storage
SnipeIT - personal asset management
Affine - self hosted cloud notebook
Actual - Budgeting Software
it-tools - for swiss army knife utilities
kitchenowl - recipes and grocery lists
Reactive resume - for resume building with AI empowered editing
Onetimesecret - for burn after reading secret sharing(using it for distributing credentials to my family)
Searxng - Local Search Aggregation
Homarr - Personal Dashboarding
Home Assistant - Smart Home Management
N8n - Automating codeless workflows
Ollama and Open-WebUI - personal Agentic AI
AudioBookshelf - Audiobook streaming and Management
OwnCloud - local file sharing and storage
Plex - Video Streaming
BitMagnet - DHT network sniffer
syncthing - for transporting data between local and remote systems
the *Arrs - for acquiring content
Docspell - for digitizing and storing important documents
picsur - for local meme storage
Calibre+Calibre-web - for Ebook management
Crafty Controller - for Minecraft Server Management
RomM - For Emulation and ROM Management.
As I go about my day I’m always looking for new and interesting containers to run, and then scrutinizing if they fill a need, replace an existing service with a better version of the same service, or if it’s better off not implementing, then I pull them down. this has been a great experience in devops learning and the longer I work on the server the more best practices I put in place and the more I understand why corporate clouds have some of the practices they have. I look forward to poking around in this community looking to help and to find new containers to accrete into my platform.
