Hey all, I've been slowly building services on my server over many many years, starting with running a minecraft ftb server, to where I am now, which is 1 primary system(providing the network filesystem) and 2 auxiliary minipc systems my brother in law recently donated. I moved from Docker to Docker Swarm after getting those MiniPC's and enjoying the added compute. Currently my swarm is running: - PiHole x2 - AdBlocking and Local DNS Management - Wg-easy - for Wireguard VPN Management - nginx - for reverse proxy servicing - authentik - for Authentication and SSO - Duplicati - for cloud backups(pointing at backblaze buckets) - Guacamole - for RDP services - Grafana+Prometheus+Node-Exporter+Cadvisor+AlertManager - for aggregation and system monitoring - Gatus - single pane of glass monitoring of services(might remove it now that I've started using Grafana) - diun - monitoring docker image versions and notification - Bookstack - Personal Knowledge Base system - Linkwarden - Collaborative Link Sharing and archiving - Fasten Health - Local Health Records Storage - SnipeIT - personal asset management - Affine - self hosted cloud notebook - Actual - Budgeting Software - it-tools - for swiss army knife utilities - kitchenowl - recipes and grocery lists - Reactive resume - for resume building with AI empowered editing - Onetimesecret - for burn after reading secret sharing(using it for distributing credentials to my family) - Searxng - Local Search Aggregation - Homarr - Personal Dashboarding - Home Assistant - Smart Home Management - N8n - Automating codeless workflows - Ollama and Open-WebUI - personal Agentic AI - AudioBookshelf - Audiobook streaming and Management - OwnCloud - local file sharing and storage - Plex - Video Streaming - BitMagnet - DHT network sniffer - syncthing - for transporting data between local and remote systems - the *Arrs - for acquiring content - Docspell - for digitizing and storing important documents - picsur - for local meme storage - Calibre+Calibre-web - for Ebook management - Crafty Controller - for Minecraft Server Management - RomM - For Emulation and ROM Management. As I go about my day I'm always looking for new and interesting containers to run, and then scrutinizing if they fill a need, replace an existing service with a better version of the same service, or if it's better off not implementing, then I pull them down. this has been a great experience in devops learning and the longer I work on the server the more best practices I put in place and the more I understand why corporate clouds have some of the practices they have. I look forward to poking around in this community looking to help and to find new containers to accrete into my platform.
