My Ultimate Self-hosting Setup (codecaptured.com)

Hey y'all, I know getting a setup that feels "right" can be a process. We all have different goals, tech preferences, etc.

I wanted to a share my blog post walking through how I finally built a setup that I can just be happy with and use. It goes over my goals, requirements, tech choices, layout, and some specific problems I've resolved.

Where I've landed of course isn't where everyone else will, but I hope it can serve as a good reference. I’ve really benefited from the content and software folks have freely shared, and hope I can continue that and help others.

Happy to answer questions!

What's your hardware setup for all of this? I've got an 8 core, 16 GB, 5TB external NUC but it starts struggling after I add a few services. BitWarden in particular so I just used their services instead. I'd love to run everything myself for same reasons but I def might need an upgrade first.

Vaultwarden is the way to go for self hosting bitwarden, it's very light weight.

Vaultwarden is ridiculously efficient - runs on like 50MB RAM on my potato server which is the same machine that handles my audiobookshelf server for the soundleaf app I love.

I'm using a AMD Ryzen 7 3700X with 64GB of RAM for my main server. Looking at it right now (so just light background activity) the services are using ~3% of my CPU and 10GB of memory. Granted my ZFS cache is using 32GB of memory, I could tune that to use less, but I have enough headroom to make that fine

I opted to just use the Bitwarden service to avoid depending on my services to get my secrets for my services, so I haven't tried running it, but I have heard good things about Vaultwarden. I'll eventually try running that as a backup
