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.

I have six 14TB drives in my NAS from serverpartdeals. Never had a problem with any of them.

If I may, what do you do with 84TB in your Nas ?

Never ask a man his pay, a woman her weight, or a data horder the contents of their stash.

Jk. Mostly.

I have a similar-ish set up to @Davel23 , I have a couple of cool use cases.

  • I seed the last 5 arch and opensuse (a few different flavors) ISOs at all times

  • I run an ArchiveBot for archive.org

  • I scan nontrivial mail (the paper kind) and store it in docspell for later OCR searches, tax purposes etc.

  • I help keep Sci-Hub healthy

  • I host several services for de-googling, including Nextcloud, Blocky, Immich, and Searxng

  • I run Navidrome, that has mostly (and hopefully will soon completely) replace Spotify for my family.

  • I run Plex (hoping to move to Jellyfin sometime, but there's inertial resistance to that) that has completely replaced Disney streaming, Netflix streaming, etc for me and my extended family.

  • I host backups for my family and close friends with an S3 and WebDAV backup target

I run 4x14TB, 2x8TB, 2x4TB, all from serverpartsdeals, in a ZFS RAID10 with two 1TB cache dives, so half of the spinning rust usable at ~35TB, and right now I'm at 62% utilization. I usually expand at about 85%
