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.

Or would it be better to split it up on multiple devices? Or maybe just upgrade to a single RPi4 or 5 mod. B?

Op was so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.

I definitely get where they're coming from though. It seems inefficient to have all these services running on separate hardware where each service might only be using 25% of the capability (not necessarily in OPs case with the Pi3B) of the device and needing three separate electrical outlets to do some real basic computing.

I've been very casually exploring Proxmox on a micro Optiplex but haven't had the time or need to jump in head first quite yet since things are still working. The real downside is that your single piece of hardware becomes a failure point for everything but as this is just home hobby stuff and not a big business, it's not really that big of an issue.
