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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I'm not sure anyone shares the same glee I feel when I view all the blocked IPs scrolling by in my pFsense firewall. Suricata does a lot of heavy lifting for sure.

What's your selfhosting guilty pleasure or pleasures?

Third guilty pleasure is 10gbit/s fiber network at home.

Well, would you look at Mr Moneybags over here. LOL I wish tho. I just have a 1gbit connection.

I bought the server hardware 3 years ago, so when the prices of ram were also fine. Today it's not fun anymore.. I really hope those ram and nvne prices go down again! I can't upgrade anything now.

It's a trade off. Buy older equipment and DDR3 is cheap. I dropped 40 more gb on the server for about $45 USD. The downside is that older equipment is not as energy efficient and as fast as newer equipment.

Crying in 70Mbps copper.... 15 upload.

10gbit fiber locally doesn't mean I have this speed to the internet (I'm not).

Realistically, 1gbit connection is good for uploading and downloading huge architectural plans, but other than that, I rarely use anything close to it's max capacity. It's like having a killer sports car that will go 0 to 60 in a few seconds, but you rarely have the need to do that.

Fact. I only use more then 1gbit/s for file transfers internally between computers or between the server and a computer.
