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:

  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 am building my personal private cloud. I am considering using second hand dell optiplexes as worker nodes, but they only have 1 NIC and I'd need a contraption like this for my redundant network.

Then this wish came to my mind. Theoretically, such a one box solution could be faster than gigabit too.

I cant speak to that brand specifically, but the USB ethernet adapters I have used are super unreliable. I have had 2 burn out randomly (out of 3). So it might not be as redundant as you would like.

I've used the tplink ones that they're using and they've been pretty solid. I can't say how they'd fare in a 24/7 setup though since they're not really intended for that.
