Currently all containerised running on a debian VM on a Rockylinux Qemu/KVM hypervisor. Initially I was using rocky+podman but inevitably hit something I wanted to run that just straight up needed docker and was too much effort to try and get working. 🤷
Hardware is an circa 2012 gaming machine with a few ZFS raids for all of my Linux ISOs. It lives an extremely tortured existence and longs for the sweet release of death.
Toying with the idea of migrating it all to on-prem virtualised kubernetes cluster using helm charts to manage the stacks and using NFS mounts for persistent storage because I hate myself (and to upskill I guess)
What about you?
Nothing 😀but I’m still enjoying the community

Is there an anime radarr / sonarr setup guide you followed?
I haven’t finished setting those up, but will be using TRaSH Guides as a starting point. I used their guides for my regular 1080p and 4K setups, and have been pretty happy with them.
Thanks a lot, wallabanged and will look at it later 😁
wow! Very long list!
Edit:
What dashboard are you using for the app overview?Dashy I see in the answersWhat software is the dashboard in? I’ve seen similar ones here before but not sure what people are using to see it all at a glance like that.
That’s Dashy. I’ve only just started using it recently. I like it because I can edit it on the fly - no need to dive into the YAML behind it (which I had to do when I was using Homer).
Quicker but not ideal for users with visual impairments :/
Hello, I went through and wrote down all the applications and services from the image, enjoy.
Well, instead of being a victim and fucking whinging about it just ask. Not my job to guess if people have a vision impairment, but I’ll happily oblige if asked nicely.

Wouldn’t you have your kindle disconnected from the net since ur pirating?
You can send with calibre-web to kindle if you have an amazon account. You get a specific address for your kindle. They appear under documents in your library, legal or otherwise.
Amazon has always turned a blind eye to the ‘send to kindle’ backdoor for getting pirated content onto the kindle
I self-host a ton of software. For context, I’m leveraging docker-compose on top of TrueNAS SCALE:
- Monitoring
- Prometheus
- Grafana
- the basic dockprom exporters: nodeexporter, cadvisor
- NUT Exporter (UPS statistics)
- PiHole exporter
- UptimeKuma
- Ad blocking
- PiHole
- unbound (censor-resilient DNS resolver)
- dnsproxy (in order to use PiHole on my smartphone and laptop outside my home network)
- Media
- Plex
- Transmission
- Sonarr
- Radarr
- Bazarr
- Jackett
- Flaresolverr
- Services exposed to the outside world
- Bunkerweb (security-hardened nginx reverse-proxy)
- Bird.makeup (Twitter to Mastodon bridge)
- FreshRSS
- n8n (automation software, think IFTTT or Zapier, but open-source and on steroids)
- Self-Host Planning Poker (my very own software!)
- Courier (parcel tracking software)
- Overseerr (user-friendly interface for friends and family to request movies and shows, plugs into Sonarr, Radarr and Plex)
- Lemmy
- Kresus (personal finance)
- Wireguard (VPN I use as a gateway into my home network)
- Caddy (reverse proxy with HTTPS, I use it for serving locally everything I do not expose to the outside world)
- Restic server (an HTTP server to push Restic backups from various computers at home)
- wakeonlan-cron-docker (because TrueNAS doesn’t allow installing WoL package. Once again, I made it myself)
What I’m looking into at the moment:
- Tandoor Recipes (deployed but I cannot make CSRF work with my reverse-proxy so far)
What I’ll be looking into in the near future:
- Promtail + Grafana Loki to aggregate Docker containers logs in Prometheus/Grafa
- Immich (Google Photos alternative with automated backups from smartphones)
How did you do Caddy on TrueNAS Scale? Docker-compose also? Im currently hosting a lot of stuff you are, but all with truecharts apps via docker. Ultimately used traefik this time, but I like the simplicity of the caddyfile a lot.
When I read through your post, it feels like you are me in 5 years if everything goes well.
I run everything on top of the docker-compose chart, which allows me much more flexibility that I would ever have with official TrueNAS apps and TrueCharts.
I see, thanks! Wanted to get my stuff up and running as quick as possible, but Ill be looking into doing things this way next.
I don’t know how I haven’t ever heard of n8n before but I finally was able to get my old ass mFi controller to be able to completely talk to Home Assistant again. Thank you!

Everything is running in containers on an Unraid server
- 24 TB usable (16 TB parity drive)
- 1 TB nvme Cache Drive
- Intel i3-12100T
With disks at idle/spun down, it consumes roughly 25W.
I have a very similar setup minus the iot and metric related services. I’m managing the services with Docker Compose on unRAID.
What’s the reasoning behind using docker compose on unraid, instead of the built in docker implementation?
For a couple reasons
-
Store and version configs in git. I realize unRAID provides flash drive backup (using git also), but this allows me to spin up my setup on another machine that may not be running unRAID. Helped recently when I switched away from Proxmox.
-
Allows me to group services with their dependencies. ( e.g. postgres, redis, etc ) Also can help isolate service groups from each other. Avoiding port conflicts on common db ports for example. Downside being may have more than one database, redis, etc.
Note, there is an unRAID docker compose plugin so you can still get easy access management buttons to start, stop, view logs, and edit services.
-
Personally I use it for a couple services that would be difficult to run separately (ie: deemix + lidarr). I’m also planning on moving all of my services with databases over to compose. I do lose a couple other QOL features but I still prefer this approach to start/stop all related containers instead of manually having to close each one.
Can you elaborate on your host?
What exactly?
Here you go !
- Vaultwarden
- Searxng
- Nextcloud
- Smallstep (own CA for self-signed full chain certificates)
- Linkding
- Gotify + watchtower
- Adguardhome
- Traefik
- Wireguard
Took me to much time to make everything work perfectly together, but learned alot along the road ! Everything hosted on a old spare laptopt with docker containers.
Proxmox host. Fedora server vm.
- openvpn as a backup (and because i went through the highly laborious process of setting it up)
- wireguard
- nitter (twitter alternative frontend. makes twitter usable)
- audiobookshelf (podcast manager)
- pihole (block ads by dns)
- nginx for my website and some related website stuff
- Vaultwarden (sometimes. I usually keep it off because I prefer KeepassXC anyway)
The hardware is a 10 year old Thinkpad. I think it’s pretty clear by my software list that I don’t ask it to do much, but it does so much for me. Like, I wouldn’t run Jellyfin off of this thing. In fact my NAS is 4x8TB drives but I keep it mostly shut off. It’s powered on maybe about once or twice a week for a few hours at a time. I try to batch my activity with it. Like “oh, yeah, I want file X but it’s on my NAS. Maybe later, when I have a need for file Y I will turn it on and retrieve both.”
I can achieve everything I want with even lower spec hardware, but this Thinkpad has a faulty trackpad anyway, which is also how I got it for cheap. I have never measured it, but supposedly it consumes around 6W at idle which is low enough for me.
Plex, nzb/sonarr/lidarr/radar/, homeassistant, AD, vpn, teamspeak, lemmy, a blog, wifi controller, cert authority, Pi-hole, mail relay, all data/files etc, backups of email from workspace, zabbix for monitoring, miniflux, windows update cache, quicken server
Probably more.
Nice - what are you using to cache windows updates? LANcache?
Straight up wsus with a nightly script to keep it from fucking itself up.
AD and wsus? Do you need a paid license to run that?
My job pays for a visual studio dev kit that gets windows server keys. Though I may move to samba 4 And just drop wsus entirely
Just navidrome & the Synology suite (drive, photos, video)
I’m lazy 🫠

All running locally on a 2008 lenovo core 2 duo with 2gb, 1 120gb SSD, 1 1tb HDD and 1 250gb HDD…couldn’t open the services to the web since my ISP blocks every port (except 52180 udp) even if I open them in the router sothey can change the double on a fixed IP withppen ports in their “enterprise” package
Try tailscale to access services outside of the network, works great for me

2x core i5 4000 series running everything else
I try to run bare metal so I can stick my fingers into things.
this site runs of parts scavenged from a roadside sign
Love keeping that old tech alive! My Core 2 Duo died a couple of years back, if I could figure out a way to leverage old mobile phones for some sort of project I would.
I’ve always called it ‘ghetto IT’ personally.
I’m not a huge fan of PC fans if I can help it, since I know they’re one of the points of failure (and they’re also loud)
I like the idea of using old smart phones too, I figure if you used something like a nexus 5x maybe you could pull it off with a powered USB-C hub?
My dream was to find a way to leverage them as poor man’s IP camera or something …one day…
I think there’s already apps for that.
