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.

As the title states, how would you set it up? I've got an HP EliteDesk G5, what are the strengths and weaknesses of either:

  • ProxMox with one VM running TrueNAS and another VM running Nextcloud
  • TrueNAS on bare metal with Nextcloud running in docker
  • Some other setup

I'd like to be able to easily expand and backup the storage available to Nextcloud as needed and I'd also like the ability to add additional VMs/containers/services as needed

Nobody should run k8s/k3s without understanding how they work lol, that's a recipe for lost data.

How so?

As long as you set the app storage to the array, all you need to do is look after the backups on the array and it all works beautifully.

That’s something you should do anyways
