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.

So I am a total amateur, but i set up a TrueNas server that hosts my Plex server, then set up a linux VM to host a PiHole.
I also set up nextcloud vm on that machine too, i wanted to autobackup my phone pics and have a sync'd, shareable calendar with the family.
Nextcloud was the biggest pain in my ass and i never truely got it working as advertised. I ended up scrapping that part just because of how god-awful nextcloud was, and god forbid you try and update it to the most recent version.
I did the same as you, but wanted native performance on my Linux machine, so what was awesome was I was able to export my zfs pool from truenas and spool up a Linux distro and import it. There's a project called cockpit and it has a zfs plugin which makes it easy to manage like truenas, but you can also use it as a whole ass pc at the same time
