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.

Thanks to this community I've learned and I'm feeling inspired. I've loved having an NAS for the last few years, but it's woefully under powered for what I'm using it for these days.

So I've ordered some basic PC parts, gonna build a basic setup using an old CPU I got lying about and try the NAS OS I saw talked about on here recently.

TrueNAS looks like a good option with only slight fears it'll go down the well known path to the dark side like so many free options before.

In any event, I'm looking forward to adding Nextcloud and Jellyfin, to trying out Docker and generally having more control over things.

Thanks again to you all for informing and inspiring.

I'll be back if I get questions!

When you end up having a mini homelab look into komo.do for container orchestration over the overkill options like kubernetes or portainer

anything worth doing is worth overdoing

I prefer dockge for putting all of my compositions in one place.

And being able to manage multiple hosts in one UI is the absolute tits. There are a few features I miss from portainer but none strong enough to pull me back. And no bs SaaS licensing and costs...

Portainer is way too bloated for personal use. I liked it initially, but the licensing shit was, well, shit, and the way it managed compose files was garbage. Dockge is way better for my use case, since it works alongside Docker, instead of fucking off to do its own thing.

But k3s so niiiice.

So what's the threshold for 'mini' vs 'you need to stop'...? Number of hosts, or number of containers, or number of public services, or...

[–] bss03@infosec.pub 2 points 3 days ago

When you lose a system. It responds to ping; all services are up, but you can't find the damn thing.

So, not a number so much as a limit to your organizational skill+effort.

Not sure, currently have 8 nodes and 40 apps running
