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.

As the title says, I want to know the most paranoid security measures you've implemented in your homelab. I can think of SDN solutions with firewalls covering every interface, ACLs, locked-down/hardened OSes etc but not much beyond that. I'm wondering how deep this paranoia can go (and maybe even go down my own route too!).

Thanks!

Losing stuff costs a lot more, depending on what it is. Also the stress and health risks accompanied are too much for me.

You can get backups as low as 3$/tb afaik. But I only backup stuff that actually means something to me. Photos and videos, documents and code. No movies which take up a lot of space if you copy them with all the subtitles and languages.

Hey so uhh... I just formated the wrong drive. It's recoverable but requires terabytes of network transfers so I'm thinking you may be right.
