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.

Hi All,

Apologies if this is in the wrong community.

I'm looking to get a UPS for my home server. It runs Homeassistant, Plex, and a few other things. I mainly need something to protect from power flickers/blips, and for it to allow a proper shutdown for prolonged power outages.

Here is the power useage on all my devices:

  • Server: 350w
  • NAS: 90w
  • Router: 42w

Any info on what to look for or which model to buy would be greatly appreciated.

I would say the UPS tier list is:

  1. Eaton
  2. APC
  3. CyberPower

I highly recommend you watch this video by Lawrence Systems. It's long, but worth the watch.

PSA about CyberPower. Your mileage my vary.

Also, some APC software now requires a license (not sure if this is home or business). You can use NUT as an alternative.
