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.

Although most providers do over provision, due to mostly bursty nature of most services, you’re probably less likely going to notice the shared aspect as opposed to the general age of the system. So it may be a good idea to take a quick peek at your VPS’s processor and compare that against what you’d be auctioning for. 1 older core (I.e. E5-2687W) is not going to be able to put up same amount of work against 1 newer core (I.e. AMD EPYC 7763) — brands and actual models are less relevant, just the idea of age gap that’s more important.
If you want to be absolutely sure, it may be just a good idea to budget for some duration where you’d pay for both services (you’d need some time to migrate everything anyway), and run benchmarks on both systems to see what you’d get out of each, then decide which one to keep.
