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.

ZFS and BTRFS' integrity checks are entirely independent of whether you have redundancy or not. You don't need any sort of RAID to get that; it also works on a single disk.
The only thing that redundancy provides you here is immediate automatic repair if corruption is found. I've written about why that isn't as great as it sounds in another reply already.
Most other software RAID can not and does not protect integrity. It couldn't; there's no hashing. Data verification is extremely annoying to implement on the block level and has massive performance gotchas, so you wouldn't want that even if you could have it.
