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.

I built a box with a standard PC case and a xeon v2 wfor zoneminder, and just slapped a second hand hyper 212 evo on there
I would say go for a v4 over the v2 because the efficiency is much better. You will probably just want 1 core per camera + a few to account for OS + container overhead, so more cores + efficiency is better here
I have some crappy reolink cameras through a unmanaged POE switch, up to a managed switch (cheapo tp link gigabit) so the camera and NVR are on one VLAN. I set some firewall rules in my eouter (edgerouter x) to let me connect to the NVR but block the cameras. Not ideal, but it works.
Perhaps better would be to use a NIC and connect directly to the unmanaged switch so there's no need to VLAN, but I'm not using this for anything crazy, and i can still get gigabit speeds to the NVR
Also using a used enterprise 6tb drive for storage. Works fine and has been going strong for a year. They're a fraction of the cost of a new drive, and are usually pulled well before theyre ready to fail
