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.

What are YOU self-hosting? (lemmy.world)

A simple question to this community, what are you self-hosting? It's probably fun to hear from each-other what services we are running.

Please mention at least the service (e.g. e-mail) and the software (e.g. postfix). Extra bonus points for also mentioning the OS and/or hardware (e.g. Linux Distribution, raspberry pi, etc) you are running on.

I'm not sure what kind of link would be best, but sure. It's a Dell PowerConnect-5524. Picked it up from eBay I believe maybe 6 or 7 years ago. Not a particularly great switch, but it was cheap, had plenty of expansion, and some management capabilities. Consumes more power than I'd like though (~20-25w), and doesn't have some of the advanced capabilities of some newer switches.

For power consumption, yes. I prefer to use power efficient devices. The big standout in my lab is the NAS and Dell switch. The NAS is running very little, but still idles at ~100-110w so I'm looking at lowering that usage with a motherboard / processor swap in the future. It's using a server board and xenon processor which aren't really built for power efficiency. Swapping this to a recent consumer-grade board with an i3 would likely address this, but depending on chipset I'll probably loose ECC ram compatibility. I'd like to swap the switch to a more modern microtik 10g unit I think, with a large dumb swich; but I haven't settled on the idea for sure.
