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.

For the money you'll spend on drives, you may be able to pay for a year of space at somewhere like www.storj.io, and use something like Duplicati to backup to them.
Because even with a shiny new NAS, you'll still need backup for it when it crashes, something is accidentally deleted, a drive hiccups and loses data, etc.
If you already have some stuff sitting around, spin up an UnRAID/TrueNAS, but still have a backup solution.
I might use some paid remote storage for an off site backup but i need something local as 0.6Mbps/s is about the best upload i can get without shilling out for starlink.
