From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What's on your personal server? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Either self-hosted or cloud, I assume many of you keep a server around for personal things. And I'm curious about the cool stuff you've got running on your personal servers.

What services do you host? Any unique stuff? Do you interact with it through ssh, termux, web server?

Self-hosted machine. It was basically my old computer I bought back in '09. It's a i5-750 on a Asus P5P77. It started with the 4 GB RAM I hadn't sold until I upgrade to 8. I used a borrowed Nvidia GT730 and a 1 TB HDD at first until I upgrade my main PC GPU and bought a new HDD for the server so now it runs in a 4 TB HDD and my old GTX 1060 3 Gb. It's a beast for my needs.

Jellyfin is the main reason I started my server. Initially it was so my mother could easily watch shows I would never illegally download. Until a realized it would be great for me too and friends. To not watch them...I mean, because that would be ilegal!
Qbittorrent...shit...oh well :)
Nginx, when I realized I could host my own development server and personal website
Komga, when I realized I could have the same benefits of Jellyfin with books and comics.
Tailscale, allows me to, among other things, use it as an online or LAN hard drive for me and people I like.
Samba, see above. It also works to keep a nice share folder between my main PC and my laptop

The more time passes the more I realize self-hosting is the best idea ever. I get new ideias every day.
