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.

Hey guys!

I have recently joined the selfhosting world after many years of thinking about it. Currently running casaOS with an assortment of containers. Mainly use nextcloud, paperlessNGX, and general file storage.

I am thinking of creating a proxmox cluster. Just wanted to ask for those who do. Is it worth it? And what services are you guys running?

I was thinking of using it for NAS, and a window VM and run other random things that I don't know yet.

Looking into grabbing some Lenovo M715q. Found a decent deal.

Thank you all in advance.

Absolutely. You're going to be paying for more overhead but I've never regretting setting up a cluster. I run mine on a t5500, a dl360 gen 6, and a raspberry pi as a witness.

On the cluster I'm running pfsense, file shares, home assistant, a pihole, and a Debian vm with docker that has containers running radarr, sonarr, watchtower, plex, jackett, and mealie. Also spin up various VMs for testing.

That's nice! I'm looking to make media server as well.

I switched to moving all of my media services from VMs to containers and haven't regretted it. Highly recommend that as your approach.

I left xteve off the list of services as well. Very useful if you plan on doing IPTV.
