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.

Main site:

  • 5950X on a GA-AB350-Gaming 3
  • 64GB
  • 1TB NVMe mirrored
  • 24TB RAIDz1, using external USB 3 disks
  • Ubuntu LTS
  • 700Mbps uplink
  • OpenWrt on Pi 4 router
  • Home Assistant Yellow

Off site:

  • ThinkCentre 715q
  • 2400GE
  • 8GB
  • 256GB NVMe
  • 24TB RAIDz1, using external USB 3 disks
  • Ubuntu LTS
  • 30Mbps uplink
  • OpenWrt on Pi 4 router

Syncthing replicates data between the two. ZFS auto snapshots prevent accidental or malicious data loss at each site. Various services are running on both machines. Plex, Wiki.js, OpenProject, etc. Most are run in docker, managed via systemd. The main machine is also used as a workstation as well as games. The storage arrays are ghetto special - USB 3 external disks, some WD Elements, some Seagate in enclosures. I even used to have a 1T, a 3T and a 4T disk in an LVM volume pretending to be an 8T disk in one of the ZFS pools. The next time I have to expand the storage I'll use second hand disks. The 5950X isn't boosting as high as it should be able to on a chipset with PB2, but I got all those cores on a B350 board. πŸ˜† Config management is done with SaltStack.

I have a similar setup. I just recently switched to the ASRock Phantom X570 for $100. It's a fantastic board at that price.

Did it improve the 5900X'es boost?

I'll have to double check, but I came from a B450 board. It definitely allowed me to run my RAM at a higher XMP profile (4x 3200MHz), and it has way better IOMMU groups. Each PCIe device gets its own group, so they can all be passed to different VMs.
