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.

  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).

I'm looking for a suggestion for compact-ish NAS cases. I only have a few drives, 4 at the moment, so I don't need a ton of space. But I'd like to downsize without getting a brand new motherboard and PSU it possible (both are ATX at the moment).

My main requirement is being able to install and uninstall drives without worrying about cable management.

Thanks!

It was my understanding that Synology products came with the rest of the computer parts as well. Is that true?

They are very locked down it should be said, so you have to fully buy into the Synology ecosystem (can't replace the host OS).

Yeah, they're a complete solution. OS and everything
