I run everything I can out of containers. It makes remembering all the changes I made easy, and reverting them even easier. My hardware is a generic PC in my closet.

I’m running:

• Jelly Fin
• Transmission Torrent
• Next Cloud (I have mounted Jellyfin and Torrent’s volumes within the Next Cloud instance so I can access them from there, very convenient)
• Home Assistant
• Wire Guard
• A printer daemon so my old printer from 2008 can do wifi printing (I refuse to upgrade)
• A scanner daemon so I can wifi scan too (scanservjs)
• A tool to expose my UPS as a battery Home Assistant can monitor
• Traefik (big pain but great payoff)
• Watch Tower to keep the public facing stuff automatically updated
• Automatic Ripping Machine which… is almost good but I’m generally disappointed with. It’s still worth using though.
• ESPHome which lets me make my own smart home devices with ESP family microcontrollers. I’ve made my own smart window blinds and smartified an air conditioner.
• Minecraft/Factorio depending on the mood of my friends and I.

But that’s not all, I also installed OpenWRT on my router, more out of necessity because it didn’t have features my ISP required. That’s running:

• … actually everything else about it is pretty standard.

I have a Raspberry Pi running OctoPrint for a 3D printer in the corner. I would have preferred to have ran that on my server to save on power and save a Raspberry Pi but I don’t have a long enough USB cable.
