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.

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.

Ideally I want something with a small form-factor, but more bays for additional storage might come in handy. Definitely won't need the DVD drive though :D I also don't want to have to pay for that W10 license since I'll be running linux on it. I don't have Plex pass, but good point about the Intel 8th gen CPUs.
I like the Chromebox suggestion, I hadn't thought of that as a possibility. Something like that might be perfect, thanks.
Just be real careful with the chromebox, an lot of them can't run Linux and are pretty low specs so I wouldn't want try putting everything I want to run on them. The CPU in HP gen 2 one I have is just a dual core without hyper threading. I would only even look into the a Chromebox if your thinking about Plex pass and hardware transcoding.
Also should be noted anything bought used your not paying for a Windows license though most the SFF boxes come with windows license baked into the bios.
Good points, thanks. I might end up getting one of those Intel NUCs instead, they look just right for the job.
