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.

The hardware is a 10 year old Thinkpad. I think it's pretty clear by my software list that I don't ask it to do much, but it does so much for me. Like, I wouldn't run Jellyfin off of this thing. In fact my NAS is 4x8TB drives but I keep it mostly shut off. It's powered on maybe about once or twice a week for a few hours at a time. I try to batch my activity with it. Like "oh, yeah, I want file X but it's on my NAS. Maybe later, when I have a need for file Y I will turn it on and retrieve both."
I can achieve everything I want with even lower spec hardware, but this Thinkpad has a faulty trackpad anyway, which is also how I got it for cheap. I have never measured it, but supposedly it consumes around 6W at idle which is low enough for me.
