this is my current plan, but I’ve yet to selfhost for longer than a month or two previously. what do y’all think of my choices?
Proxmox HV running TrueNAS+Debian Stable Server
Prowlarr: Indexer manager Sonarr: TV show management automation Radarr: Movie management automation LazyLibrarian: Book management automation Lidarr: Music management automation Homarr: Dashboard for managing applications Seerr: Media request management system Jellyfin: Media server qBittorrent: Torrent client NZBGet: Usenet downloader WireGuard: VPN software Surfshark: VPN service Portainer: Docker container management UI Watchtower: Automated Docker container updates Immich: Photo gallery & backup Mealie: Meal planner Moonlight: Low latency remote gaming (retro game emulator focused) Kavita: Ereader for books, manga, audiobooks, most formats Funkwhale: Music streaming
open to suggestions, but wanted to see if the community would perceive this as a reasonably interlocked software system or if i need to be using other software.
incredibly new and lowkey uninformed by trying my best to learn. plz be nice lol
Additional stuff you may be interested in:
Caddy for reverse proxy (accessing your services with a nice URL instead of IP address and port numbers)
PiHole for DNS-level ad-blocking and other useful router functionality
Look for a backup solutions for your config files, maybe you can handle this at Proxmox level but I don’t have experience with that.
I’ll def get pihole! Meant to write it down but forgot. Caddy seems super helpful too
For backing up config files, would GitHub be fine? Ik microslop bought it (boooo! tomato!) but is there another foss alternative I should use instead?
Be careful before uploading your config files to a public location like GitHub, you don’t want to inadvertently publish some secrets like passwords, API keys and such. A copy to an external drive should do the trick just fine as a starting point.
Sweet, I’ll throw it on a flash drive for the time being, then eventually also get it on my NAS after it’s all set up
