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.

Wait you are unclear. Is expensive a problem?
I don’t use PFSense anymore. But I do use opnsense. And while I have iterated through all sorts of appliances, including back to PFSense when I used it and from an atom box, to a I5 base setup to another super micro mini box etc etc.
For the last two years I have been using a DEC 750 from deciso for opnsense. It’s pretty solid.not cheap tho.
Expensive is a little bit a problem. Mostly I don't want to spend money.
I'm going to try a Zimaboard for the backup server. It should be fine. I might need a USB hub but whatever, performance isn't a wiggle there.
I’m a pretty big fan of the super micro super servers
Like the e200 and e300 systems.

I’ve always considered one for a router. In fact my last one was an e200-8d for a while. Wont do 10 Gb or even 1 gb with Suricata/snort tho and they are still way too pricey.
I do have a rando dell SFF/mini tower I use in a pinch.
