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.

Yeah lower usable storage sucks, but it's an okay trade at the moment given its flexibility. raidz expansion is always "right around the corner" but never actually arrives - if it's merged a raidz array might make more sense for a smaller NAS.
Personally I've found that if you're really budget-conscious or have a low number of disks, MergerFS+SnapRAID backed by BTRFS disks is a better choice for flexibility (very similar to an Unraid setup), since you can add/remove at any time, and they can be mismatched drive sizes.
