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.

Think about power consumption of your hardware. If it is supposed to run 24/7 this can add up over a year. The money could be invested in power efficient hardware instead. There are calculators online
I've got my hands on an older Zotac nano that, according to the specs, has idle consumption of 6W. I think thats as good as it gets for a decent budget.
Maybe. How much does it use when you use it? For lightly used servers idle power matters. However a modern CPU often uses much less power to get the same amount of work done and so if the server is doing something idle consumption isn't important.
When it's streaming ready probably a bit more. But I guess I'm gonna be tinkering for a bit as suggested in other replies and build stuff successively. So for document and image storage it'll be idling most of the time.
streaming what? Streaming one mp3s. Streaming a dozen different video re-encoded to something else probably can't be done any affordable machine.
