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.

Synology rules
Even as someone with tech experience using it for the last couple years as I learned what I even wanted to do with my NAS, it was awesome
Even my less tech literate wife was able to do stuff with it, just s little bit of "here's how to access the server" and boom, the GUI is that intuitive
Using docker on it is also really easy if you do eventually want to step up your game.
Synology's support is also quite crazy. I'm still using my 8-bay NAS that I bought in 2015. It's been replaced twice by RMA. Just upgraded it to DSM 7.0 a few months ago. Almost unheard of in the era of planned obselecense.
