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.

RPI4/400 is perfectly capable as a little home server. All it needs is a good SD card.

Get an eMMC module ($10) for the Pi or buy something similar with one built-in. Much faster and more reliable.
I snagged an enclosure with a little adapter for a SATA m.2 drive. It’s amazing!
Hey where? I need that! Have a spare m2 and want to use it!

This is my case! It only takes SATA m.2 drives, which which I also had a spare of sitting around!
So now I have this badass SSD pi4 4GB and all it does is share a 5TB hard drive between all my computers through OMV.
I need to learn how to do a docker. I HAVE FAILED at docker and Portainer. All I want is to have it also torrent through a VPN.
Edit: OH AND I FORGOT it turns your rubbish mini HDMI bullshit ass dick connectors into REAL HDMI
Hmmm, I’m just using OMV on mine to make it a server that I can use to transfer files around my house.
Do you have any tips on where I could get started doing more? I haven’t had success with Docker or Portainer and I’d love to have some software hosting files like OMV, and a torrent client running through a VPN in another container.
OMV is quite limiting and maybe a little heavy for the pi(?)
Docker is straightforward Idk what to say You install docker and docker compose on host and run some compose.yml's to spin up your services
I’m an extreme a Linux nub… would you happen to have any further reading or videos you would recommend? Without OMV, how would I share my HDD on my network?
I use https://github.com/dgraziotin/docker-nginx-webdav-nononsense
There are many dockerised fileservers
Magnificent, I’ll look into this!
If I re-set up everything outside of OMV, will I need to reformat the HDD that’s being shared?
