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.

Do you think it’s possible for old decommissioned drives to be donated in a compliant manner?
Reference for others:
It certainly is. ISO 27001 is a framework, not very prescriptive at all. Basically an auditor will ask "how do you ensure data isn't leaving your facility in the form of discarded hardware?" If you say "here's a link to our media destruction policy. It says all drives are wiped according to NIST 800-88 cryptographic erasure. If that is not possible or not applicable, the drive is destroyed. Here's our log of decomissioned equipment" chances are very good they'll say "OK great let's move on to the next one" with only minor followup questions.
👏
I recognize there’s a likelihood you are usually being paid for answers like that. Thank you for satisfying my curiosity for free :)
Absolutely, and it’s usually up to the organization disposing of the drives to set and document the standard by which they abide.
Thanks :)
