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 wanted to reuse one for octoprint, but it turned out to be unreliable. So I switched to my NUC instead.
I have the feeking that those SD cards just don't perform well and wear out more easily, and I really use good ones.
For RPi the two major causes of issues (in my experience) are low spec power supplies and low spec SD-cards.
Power supplies drop voltage when the loads gets too high, which is especially pronounced with high power USB devices like external harddrives.
SD-cards tend to get worn out or give write errors after enough writes. Class 10 SD cards are recommended for both speed and longevity. And ideally try to avoid write intensive stuff on the SD card
Forget SD cards for Raspberry Pis - boot from an SSD in a USB enclosure, they have better longevity than SD cards.
Not all of them can run reliably without an external power supply and not all enclosures/usb hubs/sata adapters are supported. But yeah lot of people recommend that. I also had great experience with sd cards, but that might be just a luck
Small piece of tape on one of the 4 exposed USB leads on the connector trick fixes this problem.
