Self refers to oneself as in, a person. I never associate selfhosting with a company which runs their own servers. Technically they do self host but is it a company asking questions on an online forum and referring to itself as oneself? Is a company a person? What is a company even? Philosophical questions we dont have time to discuss.

To me, self hosting means a person is self hosting things. Some have racks and use 1kW of power on idle, some have micro servers. In any case, just one paragraph explaining what you have at the top of a post is sufficient to get the point of what you know across.

Id say a more important distinction is persons who self host software only (VPS) and those who do hardware as well.

Why? Cant they make their own? I thought if Russia was producing anything useful, it would be ammo at this point.

What's your server wattage?

I'm in the process of wiring a home before moving in and getting excited about running 10g from my server to the computer. Then I see 25g gear isn't that much more expensive so I might was well run at least one fiber line. But what kind of three node ceph monster will it take to make use of any of this bandwidth (plus run all my...

I run a NUC11 so about 10W. 15-20€ per annum assuming a single tariff at 0.17€ per kwh.
It can use up to 30W but only during heavy load which may be like 8 hours a week. But electricity is also cheaper during off peak hours so it averages to about that (we have 5 tariffs).

Load is NAS, media server, homeassistant and a usb zigbee router, *arr stack.

Power usage was my main concern and wanted something eco friendly.

I use nginx as a reverse proxy and assign each service either a subdomain or a specific url. SSL is configured once so all services get https. Its not the best though, some services don't like being behind a reverse proxy or don't play nice with the url, subdomain management can get cumbersome and if the service doesn't have a login page, it is open to bad actors.. i was thinking of making a website with login and exposing other web services through an iframe but i don't know how viable that may be.

A vpn would probably be the best way to go from a security standpoint but accessing services may be a pain on remote devices where a vpn isn't supported - like how would a TV on a remote network access tour jellyfin server if the service is only accessible through a vpn tunnel and the tv has no way of connecting to it? Not sure.

I used docker to get nextcloud and nginx conf to reverse proxy to it. It works well and is not difficult to set up by following their guide on github. It works pretty much out of the box.

Good mini PC for around 100€

My current setup consists of a Raspberry Pi 4 with 4gb RAM and a 1tb external SSD. I'm thinking of getting a used mini PC for around 100€ to replace that tho because it would give me a lot more power and especially RAM (I currently need to use an 8gb swap file). My plan so far is to get a used mini PC that's quiet, has a...

I can't comment on the performance but yeah.. 6500t is what, 8 years old at this point? N100 is a year old. Tech can improve a lot in that time.

I thought all American soldiers died far away from home so Americans can bake apple pie and sleep on red white and blue bed sheets.
