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

Awesome stuff but here I am with my single mini PC that has Jellyfin and Immich wondering why I would need such a big setup.
At some point I realized that the more complex I make it, the more resources it needs and the more maintenance it needs so I only get things I think I really need.

PS: my homelab - for the longest time - was a Raspberry Pi 4B, with a 2TB hard-drive attached. Jokes aside, I have all the love for minimalism and spite engineering. Rock on.
I'm with you. I don'[ NEED a 5-node VM cluster on top of all the other crap.
But I wanted a 5-node VM cluster.
I went to a tech convention and a rancher dev had a demo backpack with a 5 node kubernetes cluster and I really wanted it. Just to have fun in a weird nerd sense.
I also appreciate that
I run a lot of services on a single old NUC I got for less than 100 dollars. I added some RAM (back then when you could buy some) and a new NVMe stick later when, but since then this single machine could handle all I asked it to do.
I couldn't even get immich to work properly :(
I need to spend another weekend starting from scratch but network protocol just completely evades me.
