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.

For those of you who use Raspberry Pi’s in your home environment, I’m curious as to what you use them for. What applications are you running on them? Do you have your Pi’s setup in a cluster?

I got around this by only booting from the SD card, the root fs lives on a $15 256GB mSATA SSD from fleaBay in a $5 USB enclosure.

Hell yeah; this is the way.

You can actually boot directly off the SSD iirc, by patching the Pi. Though I don’t recall how as it’s been a few years since I looked into it.

Yeah there was a bootloader update a few years ago, it might be only for 3 and newer, but it enables booting from USB and the network.
