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.

Hello all! Just curious what y'alls typical setup is when it comes to running multiple stacks which require the same "support" containers.

What I mean is, say you want to run two services that both require a connection to a database, would you run two separate DB containers, one for each service and have them connected only to their respective DB "stacks"? Or do you prefer to run a single centralized DB server/service and have your self hosted stacks all communicate with their own databases inside the server?

Multiple. They might need different versions of the database server, they might need to be scaled differently, they might need to be backed up at different cadences, they might need to be moved to different servers…. Etc.

The small marginal resource reduction is just not worth it.
