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.

One thing that could help a lot would be have a third drive off one of the USB ports, a cheap large spinning drive, and have a cronjob to routinely copy the contents of your drive to the cheap spinning drive to the backup drive. That way even if you lose your SSD or your SATA drive, you still have a somewhat recent version of all your files elsewhere.
Not a bad idea, however I've had problems with some of the firmware (I think, maybe it's the kernel) on external HDDs causing them to power off when not in use for long periods of time. For some reason it doesn't happen with internal drives so it must be the enclosure or the way the system deals with the drive.
