Self hosting ideas? reddit / selfhosted ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Double_Ad3612 · 2023-12-18 19:52 I have a Linux server at home on which I currently host: Jenkins, Plex, website 1 (Web facing) and website 2 (internal network only), samba shares. I'd like to host "something" else but can't think of what. I don't really have any pressing requirements Any ideas? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Square_Lawfulness_33 · 2023-12-18 20:08 [servarr](https://wiki.servarr.com) or [linuxserver](https://docs.linuxserver.io) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Simon-RedditAccount · 2023-12-18 20:16 Nextcloud?

What is this? If people can't even relate to their own taste anymore and need a poll for their decisions? Guess I'm tool old for this shit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Double_Ad3612 · 2023-12-18 22:06 No it was more for fun and learning but obviously that's not allowed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- root_switch · 2023-12-18 22:09 If you want for fun and learning then please check out the awesome self hosted list. Pick one from each category and spend over 3 months deploying and exploring. Once you’re done there, learn docker swarm and then k8s. After that, apply for a cloud devops engineer job, then profit. https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Double_Ad3612 · 2023-12-18 23:05 That list is actually very nice. Thanks ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Double_Ad3612 · 2023-12-18 23:06 Cheers.

I got no high demand apps or website that i need to host that really need to go for k8s or docker swarm. Do you have any suggestion how can i learn or emulate the scenario on my local old computer? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- root_switch · 2023-12-19 17:16 Swarm and k8s aren’t solely designed around high demand, it’s a cluster architecture where you have multiple hosts working together to host multiple containers. You get advantages from this architecture such as redundancy, scalability, orchestration, single control plane and much more. So realistically you don’t need a high demand app to use swarm or k8s. K8s can be fairly complicated so starting with swarm is probably a better option. It’s pretty minimal compared to k8s but it will help with understanding the architecture. You can emulate this locally by spinning up multiple VMs, at least 3. Ubuntu server is probably the easiest option, you will need at least 3gb ram free (1g each vm). Install docker on them, choose which one you want as the master node, initiate a swarm. Deploy service or stacks to your swarm. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lowerseagate · 2023-12-19 17:26 Thank you for the explanation. Initially, I thought the k8s can only be hosted on AWS, Azure, and Google because the architecture is complex and they can\`t do it on prem. So you telling me i can simulate it on my local? Cool! Im gonna try it. Say bye bye to my weekend ---------------------------------------------------------------------- root_switch · 2023-12-19 17:31 Oh ya kubernetes can 100% be self hosted. You don’t need a cloud provider. But you do need the resources to be able to do it. Either 3 physical machines or 1 machines that can host 3 VMs. I don’t recall the actually hardware requirements for k8s but I’m sure you can look it up. Docker swarm requirements is very minimal. There is also k3s which is a minimal implementation of k8s that’s typically used on hardware with minimal resources so check that out also! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- lowerseagate · 2023-12-19 17:36 Im gonna start with docker swarm then. God bless you kind stranger
