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:

  1. Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

    If all you're building, and all you'll ever use this for, is a NAS, the simplest route is TrueNAS. Personally, I am not a fan of docker for prod, as one bad update or config can bring the entire forest down. Same for LXC. If you want, plan, or think you might want, to use the baremetal host for other services, proxmox is the way to go. Think VMware, but not run by a greedy evil empire. With your planned hardware, you can run two full services comfortably, or up to 4 mini services. Increase ram to 32gb, and you open up your world to a some really cool possibilities. Again, it all depends with where you want to go, not just where you are now.

    Very probable! When replying, my client only lets me see the comment I'm replying to, so losing track of who said what is a common problem for me. I assumed you were OP because I didn't think anyone else was advocating for Plebbit.

    I tried and bounced off of several of the other popular auth providers over the years. PocketID was the first one I found reasonable to set up and configure.

    Fortunately someone else at work already set up a redmine one (they did it by mistake, actually, long story; but at least we already know it works). So I'm taking a look at this (slash or OpenProject) in conjunction with kanboard first to see what sticks.

    Webbian provides a full X session with Debian and Firefox in a browser via Docker. Change the command to firefox and it would just start that vs the full X session. So you could have remote Firefox in Firefox. https://github.com/Fmstrat/webbian/

    It's even better than that. In WordPress, you can select a plug-in from within your WordPress administration, and install it directly. You receive update notifications by email, and can upgrade within the administration panel as well. You don't have to download and then upload anything. In both Drupal and WordPress, you can upgrade the site and plugins/modules from CPanel.

    Docker seems to have gained more ground than LXC They aren't really competing in the same space. LXC is more comparable to jails or openvz in that they provide an os layer, Docker does not. I recently saw docker described in a web comic where some poor dev was bemoaning that his software "worked on his machine", and his teacher says "then we'll ship your machine", meaning Docker sets up a software environment for a project to work, nothing more. Docker was at first based on lxc, but has since moved to its own libcontainer.

    I've enjoyed my NVIDIA Shield, though it's arguably a bit long in the tooth if they're still full price.

    Open source/libre/foss all have to do with the license. Grayjay doesn't have a license that meets the criteria because it places arbitrary restrictions on the code. It has nothing to do with contributions. You can ship the code on a CD and that is totally fine as long as it has the proper license.

    Self hosted and open source projects are successful if you enjoy it or are solving something you need. Bonus points if it helps someone else too.

    You usually need to trigger a total rebuild to make it part of the same pool, but you could always make it separate vdevs. The best route would be to start with the number of drives you want at least, and upgrade them via replacement as you go.

    I think this can happen if the feed itself (the rss/atom file) has more articles than you specify. As far as I know this setting really only applies to articles it cached that are no longer visible on the feed.

    I have not had any problems on my end. I do know that for encoding, there are some quality issues with AMF when comparing it against Nvidia and Intel at equivalent bitrates that was only resolved with the latest 90xx series, but for Jellyfin purposes it works perfectly fine. I prefer AMD over Intel because for 3D acceleration, AMD wins hands down. I also like AMD CPUs over the absolute power-hungry heaters that are Intel CPUs because it allows me to use lower profile coolers and cheaper PSUs.
