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.

Hi all, I've got a cheap Celeron box running OPNSense and it's been pretty good so far, but I found twice that the device turned off at some point while I was at work, and I have been unable to figure out what's causing it.

The only change was that I enabled Monit to see if I could figure out what was causing crowdsec to stop sometimes but never ended up configuring anything. I've only been running it for a couple months though, so it's possible that that is not related.

I know that on a Mac (based on freebsd, right?) you can determine whether the shutdown reason was a hard shutdown, regular shutdown, or the power cable being unplugged. Is it possible to do that with OPNSense? I'd like to narrow it down to software or hardware ideally.

Final Update: it's the hardware, I think it was overheating in general, but also the SSD seems to have been dying and the ram wasn't particularly reliable, possibly due to the heat.

Good lesson not to buy the cheapest thing from AliExpress! My new box is working great.
