    What hardware do you run on? Or do you use a data center/cloud?

    I have 2 home servers - an Intel NUC running Ubuntu and a Raspberry Pi running Raspberry Pi OS. The NUC is my main server and the rpi is a dedicated wireguard/pivpn.

    Do you use containers or plain packages?

    On the main server I use docker containers almost exclusively. I find them easier to stand up and tear down, particularly using scripts, without worrying about the broader OS.

    I have the following services on the NUC -

    • Nginx Proxy Manager (for https proxy)
    • Nextcloud
    • Airsonic
    • Calibre-web
    • Invidious
    • h5ai
    • transmission

    I did play around with my own Lemmy instance but that was not successful and I found beehaw :-)

    Orchestration tools like K8s or Docker Swarm?

    No

    How do you handle logs?

    Badly. I lost a server due to root filling up a couple years back. Now I monitor disk space (see below) and prune logs as required.

    How about updates?

    OS updates I push daily. I don’t regularly update my docker containers. I did use Watchtower for a while but found it broke stuff a little too often.

    Do you have any monitoring tools you love?

    Just some custom batch scripts (disk space, backups etc) which send me regular emails. I also have conky running on a small screen 24x7
