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.

I used unraid for a long while. I recently switched to opensuse microos for a better desktop experience, and it's been fantastic

Debian with Yunohost.

TrueNAS scale with truecharts for my main server. I'm considering rolling out a compute only server with openSUSE microOS to leave trueNAS only for storage. I like openSUSE philosophy and microOS with cockpit seems solid on my tests. I might start with some old laptops and deploy the ldap server there to test it and remove that responsability from TrueNAS.

  • XCP-ng on my virtualization host
  • TrueNAS Core on my NAS
  • Ubuntu Server on my Jellyfin media server
  • Debian on my other server that I use for testing purposes
  • DietPi on my Raspberry Pi

I have several servers I’ve acquired over the years setup in a proxmox cluster

Currently Unraid, haven't tried anything else lol

Fedora Server, with most of the services I need running via Docker.

Ubuntu server w/ zfs on the main.

Have a little atom hp home server at my parents house that uses almost no power, that runs freebsd x86, zerotier one, and kopia. Free cloud backup 😁

Windows Hyper-V Server on the host with most of the VM's split between Ubuntu and Debian. I also have two Windows VM's that I keep out of necessity.

Mythbuntu. It started its life as a MythTV server.

My setup consists of the following:

Unraid, most services I self host run in docker here. Things like plex/jellyfin, nextcloud, unifi could controller.

Proxmox, used to virtualize my pfsense after I moved away from my unifi USG router. A few Linux and Debian headless virtual machines run here as well. Had pihole virtualized here as well but switched over to pfBlockerNG to consolidate.

TrueNAS, all my media shares. I also sync my desktop environments here to have a consistent windows desktop across my desktops and laptops.

Home assistant running on home assistant yellow. Runs a few add-on services.

I have 4 home servers. 1 running pfsense, 1 running truenas, 1 running proxmox, and 1 is a cloud key gen2 for unifi that I got for free

I'm currently on ubuntu and fedora. I'd love to try coreos

It's like a vote, without criteria and done in the wrong medium.

Ubuntu and WinServer2019 vms split over a proxmox-machine and server2019-hyperv-machine

2 each for replication.

Arch which is great, but I want to move to FreeBSD or Proxmox for security reasons

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

TrueNAS, and Debian

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Proxmox, Openmediavault, Ubuntu Server. Mostly because I'm lazy and I grew up using Ubuntu.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Arch for stuff I have physical access to. Nothing's ever gone wrong, so it's worth it for the immediate updates and consistency with my other systems. For VPS I use Debian though, occasionally the unstable/Sid branch if I really need the latest updates. There are almost always Debian images available on a VPS.

  • Alpine on Pi4.

  • LMDE on recycled AMD systems (phenoms, opterons, FM2 APUs, oh and a recently dead bulldozer fx-8150).

  • TrueNAS, OPNsense on dedicated hardware.

  • VMware ESXi on my older workstations (currently transitioning toward LXD/Incus and ~~XPG-ng~~ XCP-ng with Xen Orchestra).

Yes, 😅. Thank you for letting me know.

I typed correctly I'm pretty sure, but typing it again now it autocorrects to "C - C - P" now 🫤. Even more confused.

I'll edit my original post.
