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 do make a switch to Proxmox, then Proxmox Backup Server is where it’s at for backups. Its de-duplication feature is incredible. I backup all my Proxmox VMs/LXCs with it, as well as my non-Proxmox hosts (laptop, etc.), with
proxmox-backup-client.Personally, I’m using a few of those tiny Beelink PCs (a couple Mini S12 and an EQ12) with the N100 processor, as well as a couple larger rackmount PCs I built for situations where I needed to add an HBA or some other PCI-Ex device. I do recommend something like a Beelink before building, though - they run Proxmox fine, they’re inexpensive, efficient, quiet, and each one can run a handful of VMs.
Yeah, I heard about Proxmox backup and that sounds really nice. Love the idea of being able to take a snapshot before any major changes to a VM and then if it goes south restore from snapshot very quickly.
