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.

I used to rock a bare metal 1Tib HDD server for 17€/month, that I used as an NFS server for all my other servers which needed storage space.

First of all, NFS kinda sucks and I'm looking for alternative solution that I can use on OpenBSD to mount remote volumes.

Secondly, I'm planning to move this server to hetzner (my current provider), but they lack affordable storage (it's 50€/month for 1Tib). Do you know an hosting provider which would provide high volumes for not so expensive prices ?

Time4vps will get you a full vps with a 1tb disk for ~50 euro/year. (Or ~ 5€/month if billed monthly)

I’ve had a couple of those for years, they’re ok but don’t expect stellar performance from the vps itself.

That's cheap indeed. Is it possible to install a different OS than those listed on their website ?

Nope, the options I get are: AlmaLinux 8, CentOS 7, Debian 10-11, Ubuntu 14.04 - 22.04.
