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 have sonarr, radarr, prowlarr, jellyfin and qbittorrent-nox running on my computer. I want to move it to an sbc so it can run 24h/day and draw less power.

All my media are on a M.2 drive so it's important to have a way to somehow connect it to that sbc.

Fyi I also intend to run AdGuard

What sbc do you recommend for such a setup? Do I have to wait for RPi 5 or are there better alternatives? Of course the best value for money

I ended up getting myself an old Chromebox CN-62 and putting MrChromebox Bios on it. It ended up being at least twice the speed of a Pi 4, and is a new enough generation intel chip to have QuickSync on it. I ended up getting the chromebox for like $35 on ebay. Which was subsequently also cheaper than any of the available SBCs as well. Plus it already came with 16gb storage, and removable/upgradeable SODIMMs. (2gb of ram)
