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.

If you're interested in home automation, I think that there's a reasonable argument for running it on separate hardware. Not much by way of hardware requirements, but you don't want to take it down, especially if it's doing things like lighting control.
Same sort of idea for some data-logging systems, like weather stations or ADS-B receivers.
Other than that, though, I'd probably avoid running an extra system just because I have hardware. More power usage, heat, and maintenance.
EDIT: Maybe hook it up to a power management device, if you don't have that set up, so that you can power-cycle your other hardware remotely.
