Selfhosted

Depends on what you want to do with it. But for most things Debian or Fedora (Server edition) work fine.

Debian + Docker.

Ubuntu server, I want to switch to debian but I don't know if it'll be worth it

Windows Server 2016.

Nah just joking, Ubuntu Server 23.10

Nixos, brothers and sisters, show yourself 🥸

Host is Proxmox, with Ubuntu LTS VMs.

I use Proxmox, running a mix of regular and NixOS based LXCs. One of those also runs Docker for simpler services.

TrueNAS Scale

arch + docker for the services

Good ol' Debian 12

TrueNAS Core as main OS and a few jails for the services I run on the machine.

NetBSD

slackware, freebsd, netbsd

ArchlinuxARM, however it does not matter, given that everything I actually run, runs within Docker

Proxmox w/Debian, TrueNAS Scale, and Home Assistant VMs w/(usually Alpine) Docker containers in some VMs

Gentoo!

Right now Debian, but I'll migrate to NixOS pretty soon since it's already running on all of my machines except this server.

My 3 hosts all run Proxmox. Publicly available services run in VMs, usually running Ubuntu. Private services are usually Docker containers connected directly to my TailScale network running directly on the host.

Debian.

Arch is the best

Unraid for NAS stuff

Proxmox for Smart home crap

OpenMediaVault (Debian), it's the perfect amount of tinkering and simplicity for my first nas/homeserver

I am running Ubuntu server and I am... satisfied with it. It does what it should, no problems, nothing to worry about, stable AF (as any mature distro?). But lately I am thinking about switching to fedora server (I need to reset my system one way or another, because my space on the hard drive for the system ran out of space (it was a small drive)). I am using fedora on my work machine and I really like it, so I thought I could give fedora on my server a try.

Currently Unraid, haven't tried anything else lol

Armbian with CasaOS

FreeBSD & 9Front. BSD for my media server and 9front for my web server.

Ubuntu normal release running Docker containers.

Had various issues with Debian Bookworm, not being able to install the “server” meta package on one server which left me without all the basics but “apt” and issues with lost IPv6 connections that made me switch to Ubuntu

Yunohost (Debian)

FreeBSD as main OS with jails and one bhyve vm for docker stuff. And ubuntu server on a dell optiplex micro for jellyfin with hardware transcoding

Freebsd, but it would be openbsd if it had a better filesystem.

Proxmox with latest Debian i guess, but all virtual machines are on Ubuntu 23.10. It's just the easiest to install things on, and have a semi-recent kernel, even though I would never use it on the desktop.

I actually wanted to run arch in the vms but I couldn't find any image with the latest arch. The latest I found was with kernel 6.3.

• XCP-ng on my virtualization host
• TrueNAS Core on my NAS
• Ubuntu Server on my Jellyfin media server
• Debian on my other server that I use for testing purposes
• DietPi on my Raspberry Pi

I have 4 home servers. 1 running pfsense, 1 running truenas, 1 running proxmox, and 1 is a cloud key gen2 for unifi that I got for free

Ubuntu LTS and k3s for all workloads (except for plex, which I've not gotten around to migrating yet...)

Proxmox on physical servers hosting a variety of vanilla Debian installations. I have a physical router running pfsense as well as two HP miniservers running OpenMediaVault.

One with Arch that runs gameservers for my friends, and another that runs Proxmox filled with either Arch or Debian in the containers depending on what it is in them.
