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.

I have to say that I was really surprised that apparently there isn't a general solution for gluing together different-sized drives in an array reasonably-efficiently other than Synology's Hybrid RAID. I mean, you can build something that works similarly on a Linux machine, but there apparently isn't an out-of-the-box software package that does that. It seems like the kind of thing that'd be useful, but...shrugs
Both UnraidFS and mergerFS can merge drives of separate types and sizes into one array. They also allow removing / adding drives without disturbing the array. None of this is possible with traditional RAID (or at least not without a significant time sink for re-making the array), no matter the type of RAID you use.
I think unRAID does that. But I never looked into it much tbh.
