I run my own kubernetes cluster in 3 thinkcentres I bougth for cheap. Each of them has a proxmox and an ubuntu with k3s on top of it. The storage is an NFS I run from a good old qnap.

• I run my dashy (screenshot above) as homepage.
• Plex for media consumption
• Chat-with-gpt because it is far cheaper than an openai subscription
• Self hosted vaultwarden for the family
• Home assistant for home automation
• Klipper for the 3d printer
• Pi hole in a raspberry pi next to my router to kill ads at home
• Grafana with some prometheuses to monitor all the infra
• Some operators to monitor the external storage in backblaze
• A mastodon instance on Hetzner
• A lemmy instance on Hetzner too
• My blog in Netlify. A static site made with Hugo
• ArgoCD. Every app has its own repo with its descriptors.
• Backups for Hetzner services

I used to have an irc bouncer too but I didn’t use it enough.

My short term plans are adding tdarr and transmission.

I host the following in my house:

• Nextcloud
• ManicTime (tho this isn’t FOSS, but I’m a contractor consultant and love how this works) -Calibre Library/Calibre Web for books -all the *arr’s w/ Plex -BaiKal for caldav to manage mine and my mom’s life -vikunja for task management -grocy for home erp -bookstack for various notes

the following in digitalocean cause uptime is super important -mastodon -lemmy -matrix -url shortener for fediverse

All are running ubuntu server

VFIO KVM/ QEMU GPU passthrough for Windows VM for Solidworks. A forked program that I’ve turned into something completely different, I took some random http server from github and made it convert PDFs to Excel, linked it to my website so it can be used. Got a small network share for all the movies I’ve got which is kinda a lot Made a VM with a dedicated nic for managing my websites

Everything is on One PC, got 4 more systems that have no purpose and are there if this one dies so I have reserve. Any ideas on how to repurpose them? Also on todo list is an self hosted mail server that I’m yet to do because of domain issues. They are expensive lol

This is my little setup at work

Kubernetes cluster (created by kubespray)

• “Glue” services:
  • nginx ingress controller (automatically sets up nginx vhosts for Kubernetes apps)
  • cert-manager (gets SSL certificates from Let’s Encrypt for any apps that need them)
  • MetalLB (finds and provides an IP for Kubernetes services)
  • rook (storage provisioner–I have a few partitions & drives dedicated for rook to provide storage to the apps on the cluster)
• Apps:
  • GitLab (via GitLab helm chart which brings along nginx ingress and cert-manager)
  • Nextcloud (via Nextcloud helm chart)
  • Mattermost (via Mattermost helm chart)
  • Rancher
• Apps deployed via GitLab CI/CD (primarily through Auto DevOps):
  • Company website
  • Firmware updates for embedded systems
  • Mobile apps
