A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Selfhost an LLM (downonthestreet.eu)

Hi all, i am quite an old fart, so i just recently got excited about self hosting an AI, some LLM...

What i want to do is:

  • chat with it
  • eventually integrate it into other services, where needed

I read about OLLAMA, but it's all unclear to me.

Where do i start, preferably with containers (but "bare metal") is also fine?

(i already have a linux server rig with all the good stuff on it, from immich to forjeio to the arrs and more, reverse proxy, Wireguard and the works, i am looking for input on AI/LLM, what to self host and such, not general selfhosting hints)

One of these projects might be of interest to you:

Do note that CPU inference is quite a lot slower than GPU or the well known SAAS providers. I currently like the quantized deepseek models as the best balance between quality of replies and inference time when not using GPU.

Indeed, other than being able to get the model running, having decent hardware is the next most important part.

3060 12gb is probably cheapest card to get, 3090 or other 24gb card if you can get it
