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.

Don't buy a prebuilt nas. Buy an optiplex off ebay instead. You get way more flexibility and compute for the same price. Throw proxmox, spin up an lxc then toss docker onto it and just use dockge for a GUI.
I have an optiplex 3000 and it can't even fit 2 HDDs
There's ussf ssf and sf size. Best bet is to get an sf case.
Mine is the SFF version, can only fit 1 HDD
How does that compares with a ds220+ on electricity consumption ? Would it be relatively similar ? The specs are way better so it would be appealing but not if it doubles the maintenance costs.
One of the key things I’m looking for is size. I don’t want a server or pc because they’re too bulky. The advantage of the synology is it’s only marginally larger than the two drive bays for the drives. It’s small and quiet.
