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'm looking for suggestions. I have a rack in my office with up to 4U space available. I'm looking to set up a backup and storage solution to try and break free from services such as dropbox & google drive. I'd also love to run a few other things like homeassistant and potentially even Klipper for my 3d printer. I'd also like it to be reasonably quiet if possible.

So what would you recommend? I could get something like a dell poweredge and add HDDs + replace the fans with noctua to keep the noise down or go with a dedicated NAS like synology. Any other recommendations?

Could have been the db software you were running with it. It’s best to do that externally with something like mariadb. Not trying to convince you, just in case others are trying to make a decision between vm or docker.

For what it’s worth, I just checked my docker-compose and when I was running it, I was using a separate mariadb container for the db.
