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 (donβt 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.

The mini PCs draw up to 30W, mine runs at an 8W average
I have never measured my pi consumption but ilo says my DL380 Gen8 idles at between 120w to 180w
My old Pi4 with SSD averaged around 7W, so only 1W lower than my mini PC, but performance and usability of my mini PC is far greater (and it comes with 1tb NVME and 16GB ram). I generally advice against using most SBCs these days unless you specifically need the pin I/O for something.
The ipmi on my supermicro says it's running 497w.
But that's what 38 HDDs will do to ya. I used to spin them down when not in use (it's mostly a Plex server) but it's in my garage and over the winter I had some issues with the older HDDs not wanting to spin up in freezing temps. I'll probably move it back to spinning them down over the summer.
Ooof, your power bill.
Cheaper than netflix, paramount plus, hulu, sling, fubo, Disney+, etc
Maybe not when talking about the hdd cost, though. It's over 300tb of usable space. But at least a good amount of what I use has been wasted I've gotten for free.
There was that site a couple months back doing the rounds about calculating the roi on self hosting vs paying for streaming
My Pi5 tops out at 15W.
