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.

Flash drives are notorious for spontaneous and ungraceful failures. At the very minimum, you want a proper Hard Drive or SSD. Generally, any reputable brand marketing a "NAS" drive is probably what you want. Nothing spectacularly fast, but designed for a lot of power on hours.
One important thing with SSDs is that many even today aren't great with power loss detection.
Kingston makes a very reasonably priced data center class SSD with lots of RW cycles and specific power loss protection. I haven't tested them yet, but it's a good sign they at least mention it in their specs. I previously used intel data center class SSDs, but they're harder to get ahold of these days.
