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.

A simple question to this community, what are you self-hosting? It's probably fun to hear from each-other what services we are running.

Please mention at least the service (e.g. e-mail) and the software (e.g. postfix). Extra bonus points for also mentioning the OS and/or hardware (e.g. Linux Distribution, raspberry pi, etc) you are running on.

Hey, no benefits at all other than maybe a tiny security aspect since services can’t be compromised but that’s not the driver.

Mainly the lack of network cabling drives the setup. Fileserver and Kodi sit in on spot below TV with a WiFi bridged connection. Raspi 1 & 2 are located at the main network cable entry which is due to being on old building in a corridor, sparse in space. And I do like reusing existing old devices. The Raspi’s lack in physical USB connections and RAM allocation. HA sucks up all RAM 2GB on Raspi 1. Would love to have 2 server units only connected via network cable for redundancy but it’s just not feasible since it is a rented home.
