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.

Raid5 is not as complicated as it seems to be, people going 1/0 prefer the performance increase though that varies based on hardware. For general use raid5 is easy to setup and not hard to understand as you don't really need to understand it beyond noting how quickly you need to move when X-number of disks start to fail.
If you are backing up there is nothing to worry about other than be sure to buy drives suited to your usage. If you are going SSD the type of memory used will matter quite a bit. Pick your hardware right and an array of any config will run reliably for years to come.
