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.

All Metal too! I don't have a use for them right now but I'm sure I'll find out something! (I have 14 of them...)

I don't have a use for them

Not having a use for extra storage. Wow.

glances at their 32TB NAS

No I'm not.

Trust me, I'd have more, but my wife would kill me for spending $3k on hard drives

It's not very efficient to have an array of 2TB drives versus a single 16TB drive for example. That's a lot of extra required power and ports for little gain under home use.

I'm not in the need of really fast storage... normal spinning rust storage, I have plenty of!
