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.

Back in the day, I'd go through HDDs faster than systems-always needed to add storage before I could replace the CPU. I didn't start disassembling them until they got up to the 500 _M_B range, but you'd often get 3 platters back then. OP must be harvesting from a whole workgroup - I've only got a 3cm stack and 7 drives waiting for the screwdriver.
