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.

Yes we run ZFS. I wouldn't use anything else. It's truly incredible. The only comparable choice is LVMRAID + Btrfs and it still isn't really comparable in ease of use.
Why LVM + BTRFS instead of only using btrfs? Unless you need RAID 5/6, which doesn't work well on btrfs.
Yes. Because they're already using some sort of parity RAID so I assume they'd use RAID in ZFS/Btrfs and as you said, that's not an option for Btrfs. So LVMRAID + Btrfs is the alternative. LVMRAID because it's simpler to use than mdraid + LVM and the implementation is still mdraid under the covers.
