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.

Is there a lightweight storage solution that makes shared storage easy without needing a NAS? I'm looking for something that isn't necessarily highly available. I'm looking to be able to shift services around without having the complexity and overhead of Ceph. My current option is Unison which isn't ideal but workable.

What volume of data you are discussing? How many physical nodes? Can you give a complete usage example of what you want to achieve?

In general, there's a steep change in making things distributed properly, and distributed systems are often designed for big and complex situations, so they "can afford" being big and complex too.
