In the What are YOU self-hosting? thread, there are a lot of people here who are self-hosting a huge number of applications, but there's not a lot of discussion of the platform these things run on.

What does your self-hosted infrastructure look like?

Here are some examples of more detailed questions, but I'm sure there are plenty more topics that would be interesting:

What hardware do you run on? Or do you use a data center/cloud?
Do you use containers or plain packages?
Orchestration tools like K8s or Docker Swarm?
How do you handle logs?
How about updates?
Do you have any monitoring tools you love?
Etc.

I'm starting to put together the beginning of my own homelab, and I'll definitely be starting small but I'm interested to hear what other people have done with their setups.

I have 3 servers other than my laptop: two "1-liter" ultra small form factor PCs from HP and Dell, and a Dell small form factor. Roughly, they're my personal / desktop virtualization / dev server, my webserver, and my data store.

Everything is containers on top of Proxmox, mostly VMs but a few LXC containers as well.

Most of it runs some flavor of Debian.

A number of the services are reverse proxied thru a $5/mo VPS.

Internet access is via 24/7 VPN thru a similar $5/mo VPS.
