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.

Power

  • 2x feeds into the rack (same circuit but we'll work on that)
  • Eaton 2000VA double conversion UPS on Feed A
  • APC 1500VA line interactive UPS on Feed B (bypassed, replacing it with another double conversion 2kVA eventually)

Network

  • 2x Dell N2048P, stacked (potentially getting replaced with 2x stacked Cisco 9300)
  • FortiGate firewall
  • 1000/50 FTTP primary Internet link
  • 4G backup Internet link using a different Telco (the dream is to replace this with Starlink)

Storage

  • Synology 4-bay NAS with 4x4TB in RAID-10 (for overflow storage from Virtual SAN cluster)
  • HP MSL2024 8GB Fiber Channel LTO5 Tape autoloader for off-site backup

Compute

  • Dell R520 running VMware ESX for Production (2x Xeon E5-2450L, 80GB DDR3, 4x500GB SSD RAID-10 for Virtual SAN, 1x10TB SATA "scratch" disk, 2x10G fibre storage NICs, 2x1G copper NICs for VM traffic)
  • Dell R330 running VMware ESX for backups and DR (1x Xeon E3-1270v5, 32GB DDR4, 2x512GB SSD RAID-1, 2x4TB HDD RAID-1, 8G FC card for tape library)

A second prod host will join the R520 soon to add some redundancy and mirror the Virtual SAN.

All VMs are backed up and kept in an encrypted on-site data store for at least 4 weeks. They're duplicated to tape (encrypted) once a month and taken off site. Those are kept for 1 year minimum. Cloud backup storage will never replace tape in my setup.

Services

As far as "public facing" goes, the list is very short:

Though I do run around 30-40 services all up on this setup (not including actual non-prod lab things that are on other servers or various SBCs around the place).

If I had unlimited free electricity and no functioning ears I'd be using my Cisco UCS chassis and Nexus 5K switch/fabric extenders. But it just isn't meant to be (for now, haha).
