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.

Hello selfhosted !

I had a thought I’d like to share with you.

I currently have a motherboard that was used to game and that i would like to reuse.

I thought of 2 ways to use it:

  • as a NAS
  • as a Steam stream server (i have a graphic card around too)

I also have other computers running Kubernetes (2 nodes)

My question is should i go Kubernetes for this on too, or on another path ?

Thanks

Agreed, for me containers are really nice for playing with new software without dirtying my host install.

Definitely. Just the headache alone of python 3.x here and php version x there and oh boy hope they don't clash is so annoying.

For a simple webhost it makes sense to install bare metal if it doesnt have to scale anyway.
If I need 2 different db versions on the same host for different application stacks it is so easy to just insert a new program.
