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:

  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.

There is a post about getting overwhelmed by 15 containers and people not wanting to turn the post into a container measuring contest.

But now I am curious, what are your counts? I would guess those of you running k*s would win out by pod scaling

docker ps | wc -l

For those wanting a quick count.

  1. Because I'm old, crusty, and prefer software deployments in a similar manner.

It depends a lot on what you want to do and a little on what you're used to. It's some configuration overhead so it may not be worth the extra hassle if you're only running a few services (and they don't have dependency conflicts). IME once you pass a certain complexity level it becomes easier to run new services in containers, but if you're not sure how they'd benefit your setup, you're probably fine to not worry about it until it becomes a clear need.

I salute you and wish you the best in never having a dependency conflict.

I've been resolving them since the late 90s, no worries.

Agreed. Im tired after work. Debian/yunohost is good enough.

At work its hundreds of docker containers but all ci/cd takes care of that.
