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 have a Synology DS923+ as my NAS which currently runs Plex, Immich and a couple other things.

I also have a Intel NUC (8th gen) which has Proxmox on it which mainly does PiHole and HomePage. I would like to use the NUC for PiHole, Immich, Plex, HomePage and Home Assistant.

Is Proxmox the best system to use for these applications? Would it be easier to just install Debian and Docker and run everything through containers on one OS instead of splitting them all up into LXC or VMs?

I would also like the convenience of easily updating containers through a GUI. I am not afraid of SSH and CLI but it's nice to go to a browser address and see everything in one place. Kind of like how DSM7 is set up on Synology.

Kubernetes is hard and complex but if you want something flexible and scalable it is what you want.

Hey, it's nice to talk to you. I've seen you around this community and I like your comments.

I said K8S because I work with it, but if OP doesn't need HA I guess Podman is fine too. I don't like Docker anymore after what they pulled a year or so back

Docker compose is still a solid way to deploy software. Podman is cool but still fairly new.

Kubernetes is just a beast to work with. Unless you absolutely want I wouldn't bother. K3s isn't bad but it is painful to do anything.

It definitely takes more effort to get started
