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:

  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.

Apologies if this post ain't right for this community! I'm admittedly not interested in self-hosting myself, but I've a close buddy who's wanting to get back to streaming, but rightfully hates Amazon. He's wanting to self-host with Owncast to do video streaming with his pals, but lives in a very small flat with very little free space - hence the request for a laptop.

Ideally he's needing something great for video encoding, and Linux friendly to boot. No Windows. Mate's got a budget of ~£1,000.

If there's a better community for this lemme know!

What's the plan here, using the laptop for gaming and streaming, or only using the laptop as the streaming machine?

Just using it as a streaming machine.
