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.

Hi, I have an Unraid server (currently offline due to moving :'-/ ) running

VMs:

  • 2 full flat Windows and Pop_OS! VMs with GPU passed through
  • 2 low resource Windows and Pop_OS! VMs accessible by VNC
  • Home assistant OS

Docker containers:

  • Calibre + Calibre-web: apart from managing my ebook library, calibre goes through my RSS feed and generates daily epub newspaper/magazines that are send by Syncthing to my eink tablet
  • Syncthing: apart from that it also synchronizes my handwritten notes from my eink tablet between my devices
  • Nextcloud: intended to replace Google/Microsoft cloud, but, due to previous apartment's internet connection with PIA triple-ish NAT situation, is only used to backup photo/video from my phone (might change later)
  • EMBY: media streaming
  • Gitea: WIP, not currently used
  • dokuwiki: WIP, intended to acumulate manuals to home appliances and stramlined directions on how to use and maintain them
  • influxDB and Grafana: values and graphs from Home Assistant

The server was born when I merged my desktop PC, that was off and not utilized most of the time anyway, and my off the shelf NAS with 4 drives in raid5, that was slow, loud and could only run built-in garbage services. I ran Emby on Windows on my desktop, meaning I would have to manully turn it on every time I wanted to watch something.

Now my server runs on Ryzen 5 1600 with 48GB of RAM, GTX 1060 salvaged from a minig rig and total of 7 drives - 4 HDDs, 2 Sata SSD mirrored for cache and containers and 1 NVME SSD for VMs.
