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:

  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.

(I know that this is about selfhosting, but I am forced to use cloud services due to it not being viable to selfhost because of DSL internet speeds in my house, and I need this to be accessible outside my home.)

I recently made a Linode account (and got the free credit), and I am planning on only paying $5 a month if I can. I noticed that Nextcloud AIO (from Linode "Marketplace") ran very well on the lowest shared CPU plan (1GB ram, 25GB storage, 1 CPU core (CPU seems to me an AMD Epyc?)).

Will it be okay for me to host a Wordpress website and a Nextcloud instance from the same server? I will be using Docker/Podman, and only I will be using the Nextcloud instance.

I’ve heard plenty of stories about people’s free tier VM’s being deleted without notice on Oracle Cloud. It doesn’t seem like a trustworthy option for document storage or hosting a website.

I'm assuming they'd be using the $5 per month mentioned in the opening post to pay for some upgrade, e.g. more storage, more RAM, etc. So they'd be on a paid account, but using services that cost zero dollars for the most part. This is what I do and it's been great.

I am using a $5/month server with 1GB of ram, and 25GB of storage. If I want to upgrade it, I need to upgrade to $10/month. Linode doesn't have a free plan after 60 days.

I meant that if you went to Oracle instead of Linode, you could use their free services, and then spend the $5 you're currently spending on Linode on upgrading your Oracle server instead.
