Selfhosted

40132 readers

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.

Mine runs at 30watts at idle.

That powers 4 switches, 1AP, and my proxmox system (framework laptop motherboard) which runs my router and my services.

What is everyone else's usage and what does it power?

This is self-hosting, it is inherently inefficient.

Consolidating servers, storage, power, cooling, networking is always more efficient.

From your example: one full bus is more efficient than any configuration of even the most efficient cars.

I do this for a bunch of reasons, including being a hobby. Hobbies aren't meant to be efficient; first and foremost they are meant to be fun 😊

Dude, chill. This isn't how that works.

I'm pretty chill. I'm not sure attacking someone's efficiency based on their power consumption for an unspecified rack/workload is very chill...
