In the What are YOU self-hosting? thread, there are a lot of people here who are self-hosting a huge number of applications, but there’s not a lot of discussion of the platform these things run on.

What does your self-hosted infrastructure look like?

Here are some examples of more detailed questions, but I’m sure there are plenty more topics that would be interesting:

  • What hardware do you run on? Or do you use a data center/cloud?
  • Do you use containers or plain packages?
  • Orchestration tools like K8s or Docker Swarm?
  • How do you handle logs?
  • How about updates?
  • Do you have any monitoring tools you love?
  • Etc.

I’m starting to put together the beginning of my own homelab, and I’ll definitely be starting small but I’m interested to hear what other people have done with their setups.

    Git repos are currently hosted in GitHub, but I’m considering Gitea …

    I have a similar-ish setup to this and landed on having Gitea hosted outside the cluster using plain docker-compose along with renovate for dependency updates within the cluster. These two containers configuration files live on Github and have Github’s renovate-bot keep them up to date. Changes get picked up through polling the git repo and applied to the host through Portainer, though I’m planning to swap that out with a slightly more complex solution relying solely on Gitea’s new CI/CD tooling.
