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.

  • Alpine on Pi4.

  • LMDE on recycled AMD systems (phenoms, opterons, FM2 APUs, oh and a recently dead bulldozer fx-8150).

  • TrueNAS, OPNsense on dedicated hardware.

  • VMware ESXi on my older workstations (currently transitioning toward LXD/Incus and ~~XPG-ng~~ XCP-ng with Xen Orchestra).

I see so much Debian and no Alpine?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Alpine Linux, everything is in containers :)

Alpine Linux edge

XCP-ng hypervisor main box for my VMs, mostly Ubuntu Server but some Alma Linux VMs too. TrueNAS Core for my NAS box.

Might start switching my VMs from Ubuntu Server to Debian soon, we'll see.

Rocky & RHEL

I use Linux Mint, mostly because I'm familiar with it. If I was to redo it, I would likely just run Debian.

3-Node ESXi cluster with 10 Debian VMs, 3 Windows VMs, and one FreeBSD VM

I used unraid for a long while. I recently switched to opensuse microos for a better desktop experience, and it's been fantastic

[–] fahad 1 points 11 months ago

Used proxmox and truenas ended up on unraid and never looked back.

Gentoo because it can do it all

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Fellow Gentooer, Gentoo rocks!

TrueNAS SCALE as host with an Ubuntu LTS VM running Docker containers.

Original I went with only containers running on top of SCALE but both iX and TrueCharts made it harder to run plain Docker Compose on TrueNAS.

Rocky, but I'll probably give Debian a try next time I decide to nuke my install

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'm currently contemplating switching to Rocky. What makes you want to get away from it?

Fedora core os (FCOS) vms on XCP-NG with trueNas for persistent storage. With FCOS, vms configurations can stay version controlled and deployed using open Tofu (terraform) and butane/ignition.

Switched from Debian to Ubuntu LTS few years ago.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Any reason why?

I use Raspian on my pi and Ubuntu on my workstation and I maintain a debian server at work.

I love 'em all. Ubuntu Snaps arent my fav. but other than that they've been great
