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.

A lot of how you set up your system is just going to depend on how you want to set it up.
I run podman (like an improved version of docker) in a single LXC container for applications that are primarily packaged as docker apps. I think I have 4 or 5 applications running on that LXC.
For things that are distributed via apt, git repo, etc, I'll either create a new LXC or use an existing LXC if it's related to other services I'm running. For example, crowdsec is run in the same machine as nginx since those two work together and I'll always want them both running at the same time, so there's no reason to separate them.
I have mariadb running in its own LXC so that it can follow a different (more frequent) backup schedule than the mostly static applications that interact with it.
Anything that needs to interact directly with hardware, like Home Assistant, or I want kernel separation for, will get a full fledge VM instead of a container.
It's all about how you want to use it.
