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.

Truenas scale
I wouldn't recommend TrueNAS SCALE to everyone and certainly not as someone's first NAS OS. Sure, the GUI is great and its lack of flexibility prevents users from shooting themselves in the foot, but it requires lots of thoughts on zRAID settings and apps get complicated once you look outside the community-supported ones.
Also of note, truenas uses kubernetes, I'd say 90%+ of companies I've worked at, k8s is overkill for their user base. In a home apps setting it's ridiculous to think you will ever need something like that.
Sure, but for early users they can just go with the defaults and it’ll work
I agree, but that still requires a lot of research and thoughts on the ideal zRAID layout.
I guess….
Alternatively, treat your zfs as a jbod and then have regular backups.
