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.

So I go starlink as Openreach can't reach us with full fiber, in the starlink app I looked at our first month's data and we had used nearly 500gb. This month so far, we are up to 765gb.

Is that a lot for a homelab house?

I also don't have all my services here, I have most at OVH.

I know, that's why I'm asking.

What's your number M8?

800 - 900 GB per month, 2 adults and 2 minors. Moderate downloading from usenet, all services local, only reachable using wireguard.

Over the last 6 months have averaged 200gb per day with a peak of 2.4tb in one day

My ISP does not have a data cap or anything like that so I pay no attention to that. What are you doing that you only use that much?

[–] mhzawadi@lemmy.horwood.cloud 3 points 51 minutes ago

Not much clearly

My ISP doesn't cap, so I never really noticed/checked. If I had to swag, I'd say 300 gb to 500 gb just depending on what's going on. A large majority of that is streaming music from Navidrome on a daily basis. Just one user. No mass downloading of Linux ISOs.

I'm at around 1-2 TB per month, so you clearly have some room for improvement there xD

Depends on what you're doing.
