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:

  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.

Routers (self.selfhosted)
submitted 1 year ago by witx to c/selfhosted
 

Hi all,

I'm slowly moving into the self hosted mindset specially for privacy, security and sailing the high seas. This community has been invaluable but I'd like to know which routers you use that fit well with this and plays nice with the services we're hosting.

I'm mostly thinking about wifi support, openwrt, vpn (not a hard requirement), vlans, etc. I know probably a networking community would be a better place for this question, but I think this might be useful for other "self-hosters"

I have a Turris Omnia (https://turris.com). Comes with their custom OpenWrt out of the box so can do everything that can, with some extra features. Hardware is pretty good: two wifi cards, one of which can do 802.11ax, 6 GBit ethernet ports, 1 SFP port, 2GB RAM, 8GB EMMC flash, supports adding a PCIe SSD. You can also pretty easily install your own OS on it if you want to, personally I have it booting off of a PCIe SSD with NixOS on it.
