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.

Popular Hardware for Self Hosters? (lemmy.world)

I dusted off my RPI4 and started tinkering with self-hosting things and it's sparked a fire. Suddenly I have 7 docker containers running and I need more RAM, more space and I want something reliable with room to grow. I like small form factors but it doesn't need to be RPI small. Any recs for your favorite hardware under $500?

Intel NUC. Myself I prefer Proxmox as the first layer (so I can do stuff remotelly), and Alpine Linux VM as a second layer.

This been rock stable for me for the past 1 year or so.

What specs is yours if you don't mind me asking? I have a 10th hosting Proxmox and 11th hosting ESXi, but both at 32GB. Wondering if I should take the plunge and just upgrade them both max out at 64GB.

My specs:

  • NUC10i7FNK
  • Intel® Core™ i7-10710U Processor (12M Cache, up to 4.70 GHz)
  • 512GB NVME SSD, I think it’s Samsung 970 pro
  • 32GB of RAM, I think it’s DDR4-2666 (fastest supported)

I can’t comment on your “Wondering if I should take the plunge” as it highly depends on use-case. At home I am not very into HA as it gets ridiculously expensive (and I am not making money out of my services, such as Jellyfin, Homeassistant, adblocking DNS and so on).

Exact same setup as you except a larger NVME. Makes sense, no need to sink excessive cash into it. :)

This is pretty much exactly what I do. I'm partial to Debian though.

Do you run off a relatively new NUC or an older one?
