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, I'm seeking advice.

I need help with a new setup. Currently, I have a Raspberry Pi 5 with OpenMediaVault (installed on microSD) + Portainer + Docker running from a USB HDD, but I'm not satisfied with this configuration - it looks messy and is a bit slow.

I'm considering buying an Odroid H4+ with 2 or 3 SSD disks to run NAS + Nextcloud (and possibly Home Assistant) on that server. What would be the best option for me? I like how TrueNAS operates, but it seems a bit too powerful for my needs. Should I:

  • Use TrueNAS Scale with Nextcloud and Home Assistant as apps on TrueNAS?
  • Use Proxmox with multiple VMs (NAS, Nextcloud, Home Assistant, ...)?
  • Use OpenMediaVault with the KVM plugin and run Nextcloud within OpenMediaVault?
  • Or consider something completely different?

I would like to have the OS on a small disk and every other service on a second large disk (or in RAID1).
