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.

For those of you who use Raspberry Pi’s in your home environment, I’m curious as to what you use them for. What applications are you running on them? Do you have your Pi’s setup in a cluster?

Really? I’ve seen threads with people claiming to run dozens of services on it. What do you recommend instead, just any rpi OS and installing them like I would on regular linux?

if you plan on running portainer and then multiple services on your portainer. I honestly would not recommend rpi, and Im sorry its a nice little device but I dont think its very fast.

you can get some tiny SFF pc: https://www.ebay.com/itm/256201371098 that should have a tiny power consumption but 50x faster than rpi

see the benchmark: arm is raspberry pi https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/3213vs3917/Intel-i7-8700T-vs-ARM-Cortex-A72-4-Core-1500-MHz
