selfhosted

Hey folks, I’m at my wits end. I’ve been screwing with proxmox for years now, but I’m at a tipping point. I’ve just used consumer SSDs in it to run my VMs off of - but I just realized after a dozen or so crashes over the last week that I think the SSDs are the culprit. (Really, really terrible write speeds leading to...

I noticed that Linux server distros are using LVM as default. What is so good about LVM, and when should I use it? Is there a GUI for managing LVM volumes like GParted, or is it just through the terminal? How is it different from RAID in using multiple drives for one volume?

Hi guys...

Hello folks a wild Dell optiplex 320 appeared to me for $38,00....

Hello, I want to self host an instance so I’m only beholden to myself and the military forces that watch all. I only have one rule, and don’t care much for moat things, but I’d like to create safe and friendly place for people like me

Something small and 2 or 4 GB RAM. Raspberry pi’s compute power is good enough for me, I’m not doing anything too intensive....

What I need:...

Hi there!...

I’ve noticed that sometimes when a particular VM/ service is having issues, they all seem to hang. For example, I have a VM hosting my DNS (pihole) and another hosting my media server (jellyfin). If Jellyfin crashes for some reason, my internet in the entire house also goes down because it seems DNS is unable to be reached for...

Kind of a quick off the cuff question… but is it difficult to get a docker hosted jellyfin server accessible outside of lan safely?...

Hi all!...

I am trying to set up a reverse proxy server, with TLS passthrough....

I want to upgrade my Pis to something more reliable and not SD-card based and refurbished thinclients/SFF workstations seem to be a viable route. Does anyone have a cheap source for used hardware like this in Germany? I feel like the usual esm-computer, green-IT etc. are a bit overpriced.

I have recently become interested in mini PCs, but one thing that is stopping me is a feeling that bit rot could cause me to lose data....

I have an e-commerce website that needs to send emails to my clients to confirm shipping… Do you have any free software to advise to send emails with a rest API? Thanks

Hi there, I’m currently looking into renting a domain from cloudflare for convenient access to my hosted services from outside my home. It seems some of the cheapest options for the domain name I want to use are country TLDs (.uk, .us). Does this bind me to their laws in any way? can anyone come at me for hosting (e.g....

Hey guys, I am quite new to the whole self-hosting world so I haven’t done too much. Before I dive in deeper though, I’d like to know how I should choose my domain name vendor. Specifically, I only want a domain, no VPS or other hosting capability as I got some old laptops running at home I want to use for testing the...

Hi,...

I’m a pretty novice person considering installing opnsense for my personal home use....

I started migrating my servers from Linode to Hetzner Cloud this month, but noticed that my quota only gave me ten instances....

I’ve got a lot of services, some in docker, some in LXC or a VM in proxmox. Currently I’ve got no monitoring service. Recently a service went down and I didn’t notice for quite a while so now I’ve got a bunch of missing data. What monitoring tools do you all use? Looking for something that works with docker and plain...
