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.

My biggest shortcoming at the moment is my NAS is also my gaming PC. It's pretty inefficient to have that on all the time. But I haven't had the time to build a dedicated NAS.
Yeah I had your idea back when I wanted a nas. I didn't have the time and just bought a synology knowing it wasn't the best option and was aware of the possibility of enshitification. Now that they've enshitified, I can't really recommend them any longer. So far it's been good but I'm still looking for options that are quick and easy to set up. Or maybe I'll grit my teeth and start building one from scratch.
I'm perfectly happy to build my own NAS with NixOS and ZFS on it. I think it's mostly a matter of getting the right hardware.
