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.

It's Sunday somewhere already so why wait?

Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.

I'll post my ongoing things later/tomorrow but I didn't want to forget the post again.

I don’t have a technical issue at the moment.. financial one 🤣

I store my data on an OLD my book Live 3TB HDD. Runs fine but it’s getting full now, and the day it decides to shut down I don’t have any backups.

So I want to buy at least a 2 bays RAID1 array.

I’ll plug it on my server directly, and that would become my NAS.

Maybe two 6TB drives, so I’ll double my existing storage?

I don’t have any backups.

Horror story, stranger. Oh no!

If this is stuff that you can't afford to lose like family pictures, music library, or 90's memes or something, I've had decent luck with iDrive for my offsite backups. 4TB relatively cheap, works with Linux (using some Perl scripts they made), and you can define your own encryption keys so not even they can see your stuff.

It reliably backs up my NAS.

They've usually got a crazy cheap deal to start with on their homepage or if you look around, for the first year. So maybe that could be helpful until you get some other storage. :)

(I think we pay $100 a year now for 4TB)
