Selfhosted
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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Raid is backup right?
It protects against drive failure. That is the threat I am most worried about, so it's fine for me.
Perhaps unintended but very much relevant singular. Unless you're doing RAID 6 or the like, a simultaneous failure of two drives still means data loss. It's also worth noting that drives of the same model and batch tend to fail after similar amounts of time.
This is why when you buy hard drives, you should split the order across several stores rather than buying all of them from one store. You're much more likely to get drives from different batches.
Oh, don't worry they're a random mix of old drives I had lying around, they're most certainly not the same model, let alone batch!
(But yes, fair call if you have a big Nas. I have 2TB in my desktop)
