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'm looking for 16TB HDDs. They'll be for fairly light usage. Immich will be the heaviest thing running on it.

New? Used? Certified? Like this?

I bought 5x 16T recertified WD from SPD. Running in RAIDz2 (2-disk redundancy) config since April. I've yet to have an issue. They have 3 years manufacturer warranty so it's not even a huge deal if some die in a while. I paid USD $160 per drive.
