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.

140 running containers and 33 stopped (that I spin up sometimes for specific tasks or testing new things), so 173 total on Unraid. I have them gouped into:

  • 118 Auto-updates (low chance of breaking updates or non-critical service that only I would notice if it breaks)
  • 55 Manual-updates (either it's family-facing e.g. Jellyfin, or it's got a high chance of breaking updates, or it updates very infrequently so I want to know when that happens, or it's something I want to keep particular note of or control over what time it updates e.g. Jellyfin when nobody's in the middle of watching something)

I subscribe to all their github release pages via FreshRSS and have them grouped into the Auto/Manual categories. Auto takes care of itself and I skim those release notes just to keep aware of any surprises. Manual usually has 1-5 releases each day so I spend 5-20 minutes reading those release notes a bit more closely and updating them as a group, or holding off until I have more bandwidth for troubleshooting if it looks like an involved update.

Since I put anything that might cause me grief if it breaks in the manual group, I can also just not pay attention to the system for a few days and everything keeps humming along. I just end up with a slightly longer manual update list when I come back to it.

I’ve never looked into adding GitHub releases to FreshRSS. Any tips for getting that set up? Is it pretty straight forward?

I added the bookmarklet to my bookmarks bar so it's pretty easy to just navigate to the releases page on github and hit the button. I change the "visibility" setting to "show in its category" so things stay in their lanes rather than all go in a communal main feed but otherwise leave it as default.

I did have to add some filters to the categories so it wouldn't flag all the -dev/-rc releases but that's it. The filters that work for me are:

intitle:prototype-
intitle:-build-number
intitle:rc5
intitle:rc6
intitle:rc7
intitle:rc8
intitle:rc9
intitle:-dev.
intitle:Beta
intitle:preview-
intitle:rc1
intitle:rc2
intitle:rc3
intitle:rc4
intitle:"Release Candidate"
intitle:Alpha
intitle:-rc
intitle:-alpha
intitle:-beta
intitle:develop-
intitle:"Development release"
intitle:Pre-Release
