Ask HN: What services/apps are you self-hosting?
Here&#x27;s what I have so far:<p><pre><code>  - Zabbix: for monitoring my servers
  - Uptime Kuma: for monitoring whether sites are up
  - Mattermost: for some communication, also automation (e.g. notifications from Uptime Kuma)
  - Portainer: for managing Docker Swarm or Kubernetes more easily
  - Gitea: for my source code
  - Drone CI: for my CI&#x2F;CD needs
  - Sonatype Nexus: for storing everything from my code libraries, to container images
  - SonarQube: for static code analysis in my projects
  - OpenProject: for managing my projects and some documents&#x2F;Wiki
  - BookStack (now retired): for a knowledgebase&#x2F;proper Wiki
  - NextCloud: for my file management needs
  - PeerTube: for my video hosting needs (currently mostly backups of stream VODs, because of bandwidth limitations otherwise)
  - Grav: for my blog, over at https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.kronis.dev
  - Yourls: for link shortening, because the blog sometimes breaks with query parameters otherwise
  - Matomo: for analytics on the sites that I develop (cookieless currently)
  - BackupPC: for my backups (incremental and deduplicated)
  - my own mail server, for automation and as a backup private account
  - some other sites that I&#x27;ve developed with the above tools: like my homepage, a forum or two and so on
  - oh, and some game servers (like Minecraft) for friends

Historically, I hosted a few more pieces of software (like GitLab and GitLab CI), but I&#x27;ve both cut down on some and added some others over time.<p>Currently some of those run on my homelab (just regular Debian&#x2F;Ubuntu boxes), whereas some are in the cloud, from a relatively local cloud provider. The total costs of the VPSes are around 425 euros a year, or around 35 euros a month. Currently the cluster has just short of 64 GB of RAM and 12 CPU cores total, over half of which are in my homelab.<p>There is some maintenance involved, but thanks to Docker containers and stuff like Let&#x27;s Encrypt it&#x27;s all tolerable and cheaper than cloud offerings (mostly since I don&#x27;t care too much if anything goes down for a bit).<p>Edit: oh, here&#x27;s something fun. I use Apache2 as my web server(s), instead of Nginx&#x2F;Caddy&#x2F;Traefik, because it has bunches of modules and mod_md is pretty okay for managing certificate renewal <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;httpd.apache.org&#x2F;docs&#x2F;2.4&#x2F;mod&#x2F;mod_md.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;httpd.apache.org&#x2F;docs&#x2F;2.4&#x2F;mod&#x2F;mod_md.html</a>
