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.

It's Sunday somewhere already so why wait?

Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.

I'll post my ongoing things later/tomorrow but I didn't want to forget the post again.

I don't know them so I can't say much. Personally I'm wary if there's too much "magic" involved, tools that have automated everything usually are easy to get going, but often tracking down issues is more complicated as they add another layer where the error can come from. But as I said I don't know these so I can't say much about them.

I really like the concept of Proxmox; however, it’s not for my use case. Mainly running a media server. As you have mentioned, I’m also sceptical about plug-and-play OS. 😅 I just can’t make up my mind.

If you just want to install some apps directly on the server, I'd just go with Debian headless and set up docker, if you like with portainer or some similar GUI.
