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:

  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've got a Lenovo M720q running as my main server in my home and it's more than powerful enough for anything I could be doing right now. However, I also have a Le Potato lying around that I'd like to do something with. Any suggestions?

Add to the list running a Kodi home theater box.

Since we’re open sourcing your comment (🇨🇳 our comment, comrade), may I suggest you split the list? A lot of the services are things that can run on an SBC but OP already has extra computing power on a mini PC, so are likely better hosted there. A subset of them offer clear benefits being hosted in a small appliance.

Edit: to be clear, I’m thinking OP wouldn’t consider items 7-13 a strong enough case to spin a separate machine.

Good point, comrade. App services split to separate list.
