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.

Hello everyone, I posted a couple of days asking for some advice on alternatives to RPi’s for self-hosting.

I guess I got VERY lucky and managed to buy the following setup from a surplus website for cheap (~$300). Here is the setup:

MOBO:

MSI B550 Gaming Plus

CPU:

AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 4th Gen (8-Core, 16-Threads, unlocked)

GPU:

NVIDIA GeoForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB GDDR6

RAM:

24GB (weird number but okay). They are all Corsair brand, not sure about the bandwidth and timing on them, haven’t had the chance to play around with them yet.

Storage:

512GB Samsung SSD

PSU:

650W (again, haven’t gotten to dig into the gritty-nitty details)

So far, on my random RPi’s, I have PiHole+Unbound, Homebridge, Wireguard server (will probably keep those three on a dedicated RPi), SearXNG, Paperless-NGX, Lemmy (duh), Nextcloud, Uptime Kuma, Plex (+Debrid) Server, Jackett, and a couple of other services I can’t really recall of the top of my head.

What and how would you recommend I set up my newest acquisition to host my services? Any specific OS to run to best handle all of this efficiently and with ease? It already came with Windows 10 pre-installed (and I’d like to keep it because my Ph.D. research uses many programs only available on Windows, SMH)

Three years ago bought the same mobo, same cpu, 16gb corsair, 256 gb Samsung ssd, gtx 3080 Ti, plus everything else to build it and the cost was $1200. You got a deal.

To be honest that 550 mobo sucked until 2023, when they finally released firmware that allowed for us to set the language. For some weird reason the mobo defaulted into Chinese and was impossible to make changes to it. Lived with a non configured mobo for a while ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
