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.

I have used several distros on RPi4 8GB. This is what I learned: If you want some type of desktop, then RaspiOS is the most responsive out of the box and can be made even better. If your doing pure server stuff, I found Vanilla Debian, or even Ubuntu server are well done for RPi4 and just work. However their desktops are not optimised and way slower than RaspiOS.
Oddly, I have not tried Arch on RPi4, but since mainline 6(.1) kernel, I believe everything is supported including UEFI.
I have several RPi 3's and 4's (automated sprinkler systems and mini desktops like I'm using now in my lounge) all running UEFI, booting direct off USB disks (no sd card needed), no fsckery needed. (I do keep UEFI updated from github, but its honestly not necessary now - just how those devices originally were installed.)
