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.

It's Sunday somewhere already so why wait?

Let us know what you set up lately, what kind of problems you currently think about or are running into, what new device you added to your homelab or what interesting service or article you found.

I'll post my ongoing things later/tomorrow but I didn't want to forget the post again.

What exactly are you trying and on which operating system are you?

I am setting up the server on Raspberry Pi 4 with RaspiOS. I want to download torrents and I have connected an external hdd USB3 for it.... I was told that you could change the Docker directory to the external hdd to mount the containers on it. That way the microsd would work less and in case of failure, it would only be to install RaspiOS again and change the directories.... All the configuration, docker containers, etc are in the hdd.... So far I have not succeeded, although I have listened to 2 or 3 tutorials.

You can also mount everything on the Raspberry, leaving the microSD only for booting, but it is more complicated....

Excuse my DeepL english
