Selfhosted

43345 readers

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.

I just remembered I started self hosting due to the old HAK5 youtube show, which I dearly miss.

You have to waste a usb drive to turn into drm garbage for licensing. They do obscure secret sauce shit to make mixed drives work... it's far better to accomplish the same thing with mergerfs and snapraid as it's open and documented properly. The whole spinning up docker containes by filling out web forms is just fucking gross.

If you want a server distro with a UI then UnRAID offers literally nothing over OpenMediaVault which is free and open source and offers far more control.
