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.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Not practical advice, but since you're throwing out alternatives, one that I've had my eye on is hexOS.
It's a trueNAS scale (fork?) by a bunch of ex-unraid devs with the goal of making trueNAS as easy as unraid.
It still has a few more months of beta, though, so I haven't tried it. Also, like unraid, it has a paywall.
heck if i had enough money for paywalls, i'd be donating to: shit i was typing up a whole list before realizing i was basically just announcing my attack surface to the webz.
suffice to say i'd deffa be throwing the open source devs some love!
Yeah fair.
It's also kinda a fuzzy area, because some of their code is open source, but not all.
And iirc they're partly funded by the folks who make trueNAS, but supporting a project supported by open-source folks isn't the same as supporting open-source folks themselves.
I figured it toss it out there anyways though.
I'd avoid it as it is currently being developed by a startup. Startups are high risk businesses which means they could easily go under.
My understanding is that it's just trueNAS scale under the hood, and that migrating between the two is fairly painless.
