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.

NUCs are great little boxes. I have extensive experience with them. Not a lot of room for RAID or other nice to haves, but besides that even in some pretty bad environments they just happily sit there chugging away year after year.
The fan can get gummed up, but if your environment is at all reasonable it'll probably not be a problem. OTOH, you can buy these massive fanless cases for a NUC that make the whole question moot.
I've replaced fan once. Purchased from Ali. Works like a charm.
The reason why I had to replace fan is because it is CCTV-Viewer host and the app is not using hardware acceleration (not supported). Lots of cameras, CPU is usually around 60-70% 24/7 and temperature usually never drops below 80°c. It's expected in my case.
The other NUC is running 24/7 as media center/home server for the past 2 years and to this day works like a charm.
