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.

My spouse and I both use Arch (we use Arch BTW) on our desktop PC's. We also have a Pi, an ODroid and now a Dell Optiplex running as a game server. Our media server has DietPi which is an option I would recommend.
My spouse just tried Arch on the Dell and found it would have done great as a server but more work required to get stuff set up, especially with ensuring dependencies are installed. So he scrapped that idea and went with tried and true DietPi.
We've messed about with a few different flavours of server distros over the years and it's always come down to what we need the server to do, feature set and ease of use and configuration.
It's been a while since we last used RaspiOS but every time we've given it a go, it's never lasted long because it's always given us problems and just hasn't suited our needs as well as DietPi has.
