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.

I'm curious, what do you or anorher "classic"(?) home user do that needs more than like an old intel 6500 with say 32GB RAM and some 1 TB SSD (hoarding etc goes to the NAS right?) of storage?

I know dockers consume, or so I have heard, but even a webserver, streaming etc is that really eating up the (pcie)bandwith?

I'm just a low end tinkerer who likes to buy over specced stuff so I wonder what's you all doing with yours I guess!

We're on the same boat. I keep being told that all I get is "overkill", but I like to think of it as "future-proffing", even though I'll probably upgrade something in my box within 3 months 🤣. Self-delusion my wife calls it. Some people don't believe in God, I don't believe in overkill.

Plex, Blue Iris, Minecraft mod servers for the kids. I'll often use the server CPU for video filtering/encoding home videos off of VHS tapes because the nnedi3 filter takes a lot of CPU.

Years ago I lost data on a nas because the ram wasn't ECC. So I won't buy/build any PC without ECC unless it's only going to be used for web browsing/gaming.
