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'm already hosting pihole, but i know there's so much great stuff out there! I want to find some useful things that I can get my hands on. Thanks!

Edit: Thanks all! I've got a lil homelab setup going now with Pihole, Jellyfin, Paperless ngx, Yacht and YT-DL. Going to be looking into it more tomorrow, this is so much fun!

Yikes, thanks for the tip. That would be terrible! Do you have some documentation or example of the backup solution you now use?

I run SnapRAID on top of Drivepool on a windows machine. You could use SnapRAID with something like mergerfs on Linux if you wanted. I have two pools (10 data, 3 parity) and a (3 data, 1 parity). With snapraid I run pool syncs nightly and scrub (~3% nightly to cover the entire array monthly).I tried unRAID first and liked it, but there were some issues with my LSI controller resulting in poor write speed, I was never able to figure it out. I've been running the Drivepoo/SnapRAID combination now for ~6 years or so. I've had to rebuild two drives from parity in that time and it was painless (a config file edit and two commands).
