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.

Lot of good choices:
One of the 4 port atom pcs on Amazon, or even one of the arm ones, the key is ethernet ports and remember you'll need to handle your wifi. Put debian, pfsense, openwrt, whatever you like, it'll be great.
One of the openwrt systems, a high end glinet isn't bad, just any of the better ones.
Had a freebsd server that run a vnet jail for routing, was glorious, no notes, jut perfect.
Running a unifi dream machine se right now, mostly because I want someone else to handle security (I know it's not much, I just don't have any bandwidth for that now). Works fine, but I'm using unifi wifi so it's a tie-in there.
If you want a retail system, either openwrt or unifi, I know why people have issues with ubiquiti, but it's probably the best prosumer hardware and software you can get without using your own. I haven't used pfsense much, maybe that would change my mind.
