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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I've been just using hard drives in my server computer running on my old gaming computer.
I recently switched my core os from linuxmint to opensuse tumbleweed. Ultimately the core os doesn't matter much, it's mostly personal interface differences. All my apps run on docker using docker-compose. I use caddy as my reverse proxy and letsencrypt certs.
I've heard VERY good things about synology. Their software has a unique raid mode and an easy platform to host apps and such. But they're kinda expensive...
I use Opensuse on my stuff too. I do bare metal though, because I'm old and this newfangled docker stuff frightens and confuses me.
The docker compose file lets me define all the variables in one file and link the configs to a folder next to the compose file. It lets me reinstall my core os, copy the Dockers folder, and bring them back up. All self contained.
