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.

I really do encourage experimenting more with NixOS. It's the strange combination of feeling safer (because of the rollbacks) and more powerful (because of all the modules and packages already setup by the community)
I also spent a while using Proxmox. Almost went with it over TrueNAS. It was a little bit of a tossup, one is a good VM manager with ZFS support and the other good ZFS manger with VM support. I ended up just liking the interface better for TrueNAS, but both are certainly capable
A rolling back mechanism is the best thing to have for server tweaks. I achieve the same with docker. Something similar might be possible with FreeBSD Jails, podman, or anything similar like that. (Not that NixOS is a bad choice, I just wanted to share some more options for anybody looking for some to try.)
