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.

Unraid is easy to start with when you have no idea what you're doing. Other stuff often requires more up front work to setup.
The paid licence is just the cost of the conveniences.
Is it much easier than TrueNAS?
I went with TrueNAS because it's open-source, and it's been smooth sailing.
(I just use it as a NAS, nothing more)
Couldn't say, for me it was way way easier than ESXI which was my first break into the space. And also more complete / straightforward than bare metal which was what I had been doing before unraid.
I paid for the lifetime license. No regrets.
