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.

1st, definitely get backups offsite. Either cloud or drives at someone else's home, but do that.
When (not if) something breaks you'll need to fix it "now"
So, if you were intending on hosting a failover system in the cloud with Jellyfin, Adguard, Wireguard, etc. that won't be a simple replica - you'll need to redo your whole networking design.
IMHO, you're better having physical spare parts / devices at home and focus on that.
If you're running on an old PC, you'll probably be better getting a newer, more efficient (lower electricity costs) - possibly smaller and quieter - device and moving stuff across... your old PC can then be the backup device.
Sounds easier as well. I will look into it
