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:

  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.

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

Honest question, because I know multiple people who are not looking to jump ship since they already have the Plex Pass.

Proxmox sounds like VMs, which is a hard no for me since that’s why I went to Docker in the first place, to get away from the overhead of VMs. Am I misunderstanding?

Not misunderstanding, just not the full picture. Proxmox can do VMs, but LXCs are different thing.

LXCs are a 'container' and have some requirements that might be frustrating sporadically, but they are much lighter. They'll present like you'd expect from a VM (Their own operating system/shell/etc) but resources are mostly shared across LXCs on a host. Overhead isn't gone, but drastically reduced. Personal experience obviously, but it's never been something I've had to seriously consider on an LXC.
