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.

Oh god, don't waste your money on a mini PC unless you specifically have a reason to get something small.
You're literally paying more for worse hardware because of the form factor.
Instead, try getting a used Dell Optiplex. You can buy them at walmart for under $100.
Also, don't kid yourself into thinking your server is going to be more popular than it is. If it's just for you, then there's no way you're going to exhaust its resources unless you're specifically trying to.
@shreyan I'm getting a used Elitedesk 800 G5. Is that a bad idea?
Try searching for dell optiplexes on ebay and see if any of them suit your needs for a better price.
If you don't need something with a small form, then don't get it. You end up paying more for less.
