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.

n00b question, sorry. If I had a desktop that could hold 4 HD and 2 SSD, could I turn it into a NAS? Could someone point me in the right direction if this makes sense?

Another option is to use openmediavault.

I haven't looked at truenas.

TrueNAS is very good at being a NAS. I used it for some time but eventually moved to CasaOS because it's better at being a home server.

I hadn't heard of CasaOS before; looks very cool. I am currently on TrueNAS and it's been fine, but I had been running it in a VM because it wasn't a good fit for running other things along side it. This seems like an interesting solution, thanks!

No problem! I really like it!
