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.

What is the gain compared to running something battle tested like zfs or mdraid?
The selling point of unraid is that you can mix and match different disk sizes and it figures out a (good, efficient?) way to handle them even as you grow a pool. You're not going to have a good time with a 1TB drive, a 2 TB drive and a 15 TB drive using zfs, unraid doesn't care... (Using and preferring zfs myself, by the way; this is heresay.)
ZFS AnyRaid soon?
Another benefit is if you lose your all parity disks and a data disk, you can still access the filesystem on the other data disks. So if the array fails, you don't lose all the data, just the 1 (failed) disk worth of files.
Ah, I can see the appeal but it's not for me then. :)
