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.

Cheap, used, yours or a friend’s old computer case stuffed with some cheap Amazon or EBay hdd drive cage (~$40-90). I’ve had a 15y/o case a coworker gave me with a cheap 5 slot cage placed where the 5.25 bays used to be for at least 5 years now. The real place to spend money is on a quality psu to run the thing.
That’s a great idea, thanks!
I would second this. A normal tower with a high quality psu and 5 drives is what I use for cheap storage. Obviously more failure prone than true enterprise hardware but a hell of a lot cheaper.
