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.

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

a bunch of ebay specials with more ebay parts scavenged over time + some 3d printing.

The centre tower has a miniitx mb and PSU behind those panels to run the NAS, and the drive bays are in the bottom.

The right is a failover cluster that isn't finished yet.

Slick for ebay parts. The 3d printed extras are sharp.

Wow, that looks really good! I like the labels on each server! Are the 3d printed parts custom or did you find them online?

[–] Senal@programming.dev 1 points 8 hours ago

Custom printed.

The front rack grills, keystone panels and thinkcentre mounts are from a website but all the other printed parts are custom.

That's a very tiny, dense lab!

i'm not utilising it nearly as much as i should which is why i haven't gotten around to the failover cluster yet.

[–] linuxguy@piefed.ca 2 points 9 hours ago

Same here wrt utilization. I've excess capacity and can't seem to find anything I want to use it on.
