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.

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.

I'm personally avoiding WD due to their various issues. First there was the whole SMR thing where they were selling SMR drives as "NAS drives", even though they're not appropriate for use in a NAS, without telling anyone. More recently they were flagging drives with a warning just because they had been in use for three years: https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/13/23759368/western-digital-three-years-warning-synology-nas
They make good drives and used to be the best, but as a company they're kinda sketchy and I'd rather not give them my money. I'd rather trust the Seagate Exos or Ironwolf Pro drives since they haven't tried doing anything sketchy like WD have.
