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.
-
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I (very much an amateur) briefly tried TueNAS scale in the past and didn't like how they did apps. So I switched to Openmediavault, which since then has served me very well.
With a plugin I could easily add my zfs raid and I use their build in docker compose gui to run the few programs I need.
I didn't try out others, but there are more options. CasaOS and yunohost already got mentioned, there is also Cosmos or just running a basic server with e.g Debian and maybe adding Cockpit for some management gui.
I'm unclear on the benefit either has one just an NFS server.
Openmediavault only seems to run on Debian which is a no go for me. I'm looking for something immutable (ie an an appliance)
I guess if you want specific recommendations you need to define your needs and requirements a bit more.
Since I was wondering if Cockpit is an option for immutable distros I stumbled on this video, which seems to suggest it might since it is used on one there. So I guess you could pick your favorite immutable distros and see if Cockpit works to have a easy gui for managing the server stuff.
You could of course also go for something like NixOS and make everything declarative.
For me Openmediavault was easy to set up and just works for the little stuff I want it to do.
WARNING: I am not an expert!
Maybe VanillaOS? Immutable, atomic, Debian-based. If OpenMediaVault doesn't run directly on Vanilla, use its APX tool to make a minimalist Debian container & install OpenMediaVault there?
