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.

The original Pi B had a single core 700mhz ARMv6 processor and 512mb of memory. It's fine for embedded projects using GPIO or a mini LCD screen, but that's about it. You'd be lucky to even decode 720p video on it as a streaming box.
It might work neat as a monitoring device to keep tabs on the rest of your homelab machines and display a status output or something.
No, the original Pi B can play 1080p video just fine. The video is not decoded by the CPU. H264 and older codecs play just fine. It cannot handle h265 videos as it doesn't have a hardware decoder for those. Kodi works just fine in fact. The interface is a little bit slow, but actual video playback is fine.
I did overclock it a bit. I think it's at 900mhz now, reliably. Probably not enough in the grand scheme of things. But hey, it's something!
