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.

I have a Nas and use that for torrents, but it's quite inderpowered. I use an old laptop as a home server for media. However, as it's old, it's not very efficient,.so I don't want to leave it always on.

My router has PoE and this would have been an elegant solution. It works with a Pi, it just provides the form factor, was my understanding.

Look at the Zimablade maybe. Full,Proxmox capabale x86, can be powered via PoE with a splitter(would not recommend it,though), cheap.

It works with a Pi compute module (which, depending on the kit, is sold separately). It will also run on a standard Raspberry Pi.

Thanks for answering :-)

Yes, you need the pi separately. I didn't know it was different tona standard pi. I thought all pis came without case and you could pick and choose what to add.
