I don‘t know if this is the right place to ask, but is this an OK build for a first start in selfhosting? Is there anything obvious I could improve? I‘d mainly run Nextcloud, Immich, some Docker containers and smaller web applications and cronjobs.

      • I run 50+ websites
      • MariaDB instances
      • PostgreSQL instances
      • Docker containers
      • Mbin, Nextcloud, GitLab, GitLab runners, gitea, bitcoind, fulcrum, grafana, prometheus, influxdb, Synapse, Angie, telegraf and various other services like fail2ban etc. etc.

      All optimized for performance and fine tuned as well, eg. lets say you run mariadb vs how I run it:

      innodb_buffer_pool_size = 8G
      innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit = 2
      innodb_log_file_size = 2G
      innodb_log_buffer_size = 32M
      innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct = 90
      innodb_io_capacity=5000
      innodb_io_capacity_max=20000
      innodb_read_io_threads=8
      innodb_write_io_threads=8
      query_cache_type = 1
      query_cache_limit = 2M
      query_cache_min_res_unit = 2k
      query_cache_size = 128M
      tmp_table_size= 128M
      max_heap_table_size= 128M
      
      [mysqld]
      max_connections = 200
      character_set_server = utf8mb4
      collation_server = utf8mb4_general_ci
      transaction_isolation = READ-COMMITTED
      binlog_format = ROW
      innodb_file_per_table=1
      # Increase open files based limits.conf value
      open_files_limit=65535
      

      Same idea for Postgresql… You can run “postgres” or… actually run postgresql in production correctly like:

      shared_buffers = 6GB
      work_mem = 20MB
      maintenance_work_mem = 2GB
      maintenance_io_concurrency = 200
      max_worker_processes = 14 
      max_parallel_workers_per_gather = 4
      max_parallel_maintenance_workers = 4
      max_parallel_workers = 12
      
      synchronous_commit = off
      commit_delay = 300
      
      checkpoint_timeout = 30min
      max_wal_size = 60GB
      min_wal_size = 4GB
