I'm curious to hear what others are #SelfHosting! Here's my current setup:
Hardware & OS
- Hardware: #RaspberryPi500 (8 GB RAM, 512 GB SD card) #RPi #RPi500 #SingleBoardComputers #HomeLab
- OS: #Stormux, an accessible #Linux distro based on #ArchLinuxARM #LinuxAccessibility #AccessibleTech
Infrastructure & Networking
- Dashboard: #Glance (#Docker) #DockerApps
- Reverse Proxy: #Caddy
- DNS: #Cloudflare
- Domain Registrar: #Porkbun
- Networking & Remote Access: #Tailscale (non-Docker), love its SSH agent and magic DNS features. #NetworkSecurity
Security & Monitoring
- Ad Blocking: #AdGuardHome (non-Docker). Previously used PiHole but find AdGuardHome slightly faster. #PrivacyTools
- Server Monitoring: #Beszel (non-Docker). Tried Grafana/Prometheus/Alertmanager (accessible but overkill) and Netdata (poor screen reader accessibility). Beszel isn't perfect but best compromise so far. #ServerMonitoring
- Server Overview: #Cockpit (non-Docker)
- Security Tools: #Fail2ban, #FirewallD, #ClamAV, and #Rkhunter (non-Docker). Tried CrowdSec but couldn't get it working on Stormux. #CyberSecurity
- Service Uptime Monitoring: #UptimeKuma (Docker), accessible and easy to use. #MonitoringTools
Authentication & Identity Management
- Authelia (Docker): Just set this up for two-factor authentication and single sign-on. Seems to be working well so far!
- LLDAP (Docker): Lightweight LDAP server for managing authentication. Also seems to be working pretty well!
#AuthenticationTools #IdentityManagement
Productivity & Personal Tools
- Docker Management: #Dockge (Docker). More accessible than Portainer; main issue is built-in terminal isn't readable with screen readers. #DockerCompose
- Docker Logs Viewer: #Dozzle (Docker), great web interface and easy searching.
- Git Hosting: #Forgejo (non-Docker), my personal Git server. #GitServer
- Backups: #IDrive (non-Docker), backs up all my devices easily. #BackupSolutions
- Notes: #Joplin server (Docker). Accessibility improving; love the VSCode extension. #NoteTakingApps
- Bookmarks: #Linkding (Docker). Accessible bookmark manager with good browser extension support. #BookmarkManager
- Recipes: #Mealie (Docker), starting to learn cooking!
#CookingApps - RSS Feeds: #Miniflux (non-Docker), excellent accessibility. Originally wanted better podcast support but other options had major accessibility issues. #RSSReader
- Automation & Workflows: #N8N (Docker). Haven't explored deeply yet—open to ideas! #AutomationTools #WorkflowAutomation
- Pastebin Service: #PrivateBin (non-Docker). Considering alternatives or CLI tool for easier console access. #PastebinAlternative
- File Sharing & Editing: #Samba (non-Docker), easy file management from my Windows 11 mini PC. #FileSharing #Windows11
- Search Engine: #SearXNG (non-Docker), accessible and searches multiple engines at once. #PrivacySearchEngine
- IRC Client: #TheLounge (non-Docker). Some accessibility issues but best I've found so far for always-connected IRC. #IRCClient
- Read Later Service: #Wallabag (Docker). Biggest issue is Wallabagger Chrome extension doesn't work for me yet. #ReadItLater
Notifications & Development Workflow
- Notifications via: #Ntfy (Docker) and Zoho's ZeptoMail (#Zoho)
- Development Environment: Mostly using VSCode connected to my server via Remote-SSH extension. #VSCodeRemote
Accessibility Focus 
️
Accessibility heavily influences my choices—I use a screen reader full-time (#ScreenReader), so I prioritize services usable without sight (#InclusiveDesign, #DigitalAccessibility). Always open to discussing accessibility experiences or recommendations!
I've also experimented with:
- Ollama (#Ollama): Not enough RAM on my Pi.
- Habit trackers like Beaver Habit Tracker (#HabitTracking): Accessibility issues made it unusable for me.
I don't really have a media collection, so no Plex or Jellyfin here (#MediaServer)—but I'm always open to suggestions! I've gotten a bit addicted to exploring new self-hosted services! 
What's your setup like? Any cool services you'd recommend I try?

Self-Hosting Journey Update! 
I'm running everything on a Raspberry Pi 500 with Stormux (Arch Linux ARM-based), 8 GB RAM, and a 512 GB SD card (planning to upgrade to SSD or NAS as soon as I can afford it). Here's what I’ve built so far:
Services in Action:
Security & Access:
Emails Powered by Zoho ZeptoMail: 
Backups: Using IDrive's 5 TB plan for peace of mind. 
I'd love to hear your thoughts—especially tips on scaling storage or optimizing performance. Let's chat!
