Ask HN: What are your favourite self-hosted tools?
I self host everything I can at home, so this list might be a bit too exhaustive, but there wasn&#x27;t any scope on this ask HN, so...<p>Overall hardware platform:<p>4 pcengines alix boxes for openbsd router&#x2F;firewall appliances<p>3 supermicro Opteron servers with KVM&#x2F;corosync&#x2F;Sheepdog&#x2F;csync2 for hosting all VMs<p>Software:<p>PF + CARP + pfsync + OpenBGPD for routing<p>Unbound + NSD + Bind for DNS<p>SSH&#x2F;OpenBSD ipsec&#x2F;apache Guacamole for roaming and permanent site-to-site VPN (pcengines ALIX hosted at my inlaws in Japan)<p>Apache + Lets Encrypt + awstats + relayd for serving web pages and analysis<p>ZoneMinder for video monitoring. Tied into legacy security system for automation<p>Postgres for database work. Some mysql&#x2F;redis<p>NetDisco + Nagios + NagVis + NFSen + MRTG + Smokeping + PNP4Nagios + NUT + Splunk + Racktables for monitoring. All configs are dynamically generated from netdisco db<p>OpenSMTPD + Citadel (webcit) for email delivery and webmail<p>Minetest server for kids. We use this tons as a family, and the kids spend lots of time modding. TW2002 server.
