Selfhosted
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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Time vs money, right? In six months, I'll forget about the NAS and all the tiny little things I never did / automate. It'll come back to bite me.
With a purchased NAS, that's... less likely? Or at least, I can yell at their support to help me.
That's the thing. A NAS *should *be pretty "set and forget", and other than a few manual software updates, I just use the files and services it hosts without giving it a second thought.
Even the fact that I don't have to mess around with third-party apps across multiple devices to get them to sync or backup to the NAS is pure gold, especially since my wife wouldn't be able to figure out any app beyond "just click here and that's it". LOL
