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.

Recommend me a good and cheap VPS. (self.selfhosted)

I currently use a Droplet from DigitalOcean which gives me 1 gb of RAM, 25 gb of storage and a bandwidth limit of 1 TB which is priced at 6 dollars per month, I think this might be a good offer, but I also think I'm overpaying because the only thing that I use from that is Wireguard to get around CGNAT at my home (which I could already do with Zerotier or Tailscale, so I don't always use it).

I do have a couple of docker containers as well, but the most important one being Pi-Hole is only used along with WG, I also expose some services to the internet, like Overseerr, Plex (only to 1 user) and most recently this, https://wefwef.app/posts/lemmy.world/all

Keeping within what DO already offers me would be nice, especially the bandwidth, which I some months got past of it because I opened the torrent port to seed more... I stopped when a DO letter arrived which is amusing because my country could not care less about torrenting. 🀣

I tried to go with the cheapest option ever (free) oracle cloud, but they never accepted any of my credit or debit cards nor they cared about it lol.

I don't think I'm a power user by any means, so please, if you have a better offer do tell, or maybe that price is fair for my usage?

EDIT: forgot to add that a public IPv4 address is a must, because you know, the CGNAT.

Fwiw racknerd still has their 2022 black Friday deals active. I just got 8 core 12 gb ram 100 gb SSD 12tb bandwidth for 161 annual (little over 13 a month). Just search it on Google. It's still live on their store site.

holy shit EDIT: Just got a pretty sick little vps for a year for like $40. Thanks!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

yeah its pretty nice. I am running this lemmy instance on the 48 dollar one, and have another fully upgraded for my own other services.

Thats funny. They have 4th of July sale but the black friday prices are better.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I noticed that. Dunno they fulfilled my orders so we shall see lol. Ify. Instance goes offline randomly now we know why. Hahaa

Yeah, not seeing that. I have the 3 vCPU 4.5GB RAM one for about $50/year, but nothing like what you are seeing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When you order the 3 vcpu 4.5gb one, you can upgrade cpu cores, number of ips, and ram. Maxed out minus the IPs and you get it for around 161.

Oh wow. I didn't even see that. Thanks.
