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.

Hi Lemmy Community,

At the moment i got a router-modem-combination from my ip and i want to be more independent. Therefore i want to use the provided hardware as bridge and buy my own router to manage my network.

In my home network i got

  • 2 Desktop PCs (cable)
  • 1 Switch (cable)
  • Several WiFi devices including smart home devices
  • Pi-Hole
  • Mac Mini as a linux Server (cable)
  • Synology NAS (cable)
  • AVM repeater

Before i start my own extensive research, may you recommend me a Router for my setup?

Thank you in advance :-)

This is definitively a solid and straight forward plan, i like.

Yep, it's the easiest solution. You could also check if the provided hardware is necessary or if your ISP allows other devices to be connected. Then you could use the Fritzbox directly.
