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 a Synology DS923+ as my NAS which currently runs Plex, Immich and a couple other things.

I also have a Intel NUC (8th gen) which has Proxmox on it which mainly does PiHole and HomePage. I would like to use the NUC for PiHole, Immich, Plex, HomePage and Home Assistant.

Is Proxmox the best system to use for these applications? Would it be easier to just install Debian and Docker and run everything through containers on one OS instead of splitting them all up into LXC or VMs?

I would also like the convenience of easily updating containers through a GUI. I am not afraid of SSH and CLI but it's nice to go to a browser address and see everything in one place. Kind of like how DSM7 is set up on Synology.

This looks like an alternative to portainer or dockge. Am I correct?

Yeah, it's an alt to portainer

What are the benefits to komono vs portainer or dockge?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

I've only tried Komodo, but I like that it's open source and not trying to squeeze money for extra features

Lack of business version is a big win over portainer. I'll have to look at the feature set. Right now I use dockge and don't feel like im missing anything but always open to new stuff. Does it save the compose files in a volume or bind mount by default?

It has a git repository option that I use. So every compose file I add to define a service goes into the repo as a commit.
