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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I've found CasaOS to be the simplest to set up and get going. I tried TrueNAS for a year, but wish I had started with CasaOS.
CasaOS looks interesting. But i prefer OpenMediaVault for the moment.
How would you rate Casa compared to Open Media Vault?
Haven't tried OMV, but the lesson I learned with TrueNAS is that software designed primarily for NAS has a lot of features I don't care about, and the other apps can be finicky. I'm not storing petabytes of data. CasaOS was the closest I found to "just works".
There's also Umbrel OS which looks promising, but I've been happy with CasaOS so haven't felt the need to switch.
