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.

You don't need to pop it out to DD the SD card, you can do it while it's running. I like to pipe DD through gzip to get a compressed image as the output so I'm not sitting on 16gb file for 3gb worth of files.
That sounds really good but is that safe to do? I thought you shouldn't dd a disk if there was some activity going on on it.
So is the output image saved to the SD card or do you save it to an external drive?
Been working fine for me for several years.
You can have it written to an external drive, or you can use tools like sshfs and ftpfs to mount remote servers as local drives then write to those. I use the sshfs route.
This will create an .img that you can just write directly to an sd card and boot from.
Very cool, thank you.
