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.

I used to rock a bare metal 1Tib HDD server for 17€/month, that I used as an NFS server for all my other servers which needed storage space.

First of all, NFS kinda sucks and I'm looking for alternative solution that I can use on OpenBSD to mount remote volumes.

Secondly, I'm planning to move this server to hetzner (my current provider), but they lack affordable storage (it's 50€/month for 1Tib). Do you know an hosting provider which would provide high volumes for not so expensive prices ?

And here I am running NFS as the backing storage on an R720xd for 4 other M630 VM hosts.

Connected via SFP+ DAC. I get max bandwidth saturation, and ~65k IOPS!! NFS is great 😅

You could use things like AWS S3 or similar offerings from other providers like digitalocean. They have plenty of documentation that guide you through how they work.

My main issue with NFS is that it's been unreliable in my case (multiple servers connected over wireguard, over internet). Which cause locks and latency for the applications that read/write to it (Matrix server, distributed repository, …).

Of course if you can afford connecting the NFS server directly to the servers, that's perfect but I'm more on the worst case scenario ^^
