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 second this. Good things to know include:
Each Synology NAS comes with Surveillance Station licenses for 2 cameras. You can use any 2 compatible cameras. You can switch out cameras for new ones, as long as it's just 2.
If you need more than 2 cameras you can buy additional license pack bundles to add different numbers of cameras. These additional licenses are tied to that Synology NAS box. My understanding is that you can't take them with you to a new NAS. This isn't a problem for most people (who are gonna use that NAS for 6-10 years), but it is good to be informed when you're making platform choices.
You can transfer licenses to a new NAS, as long as you have the license code. Just de-activate it on old box and activate it on new box.
See this link on their site for more info.
What you CAN'T do is split licenses. So if you buy the 8-pack, you can't put 4 on one NAS and 4 on another NAS.
You also CAN'T combine the built in license. So the NAS comes with 2 licenses- you can't remove those 2 from one NAS and apply them to another.
Ah, thanks! I misunderstood, and that's good to know. :) Useful to know for future upgrades as well.
