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.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

just got it from aliexpress. though any hardware or mini pc will do, really.
if you want something like this but branded, look into protectli, they make similar devices.
Asking for the brand was a way to say that I would like to be able to check their data and perhaps buy it. I don't need a nice stamp on things:)
topton is one of the more "trusted" brands in there. you can get anything from a small dual core celeron to a mobile i7, with two ddr5 slots, m.2 slots, mpcie slots, sata slots... you name it.
it can be quite a punch on a tiny box and it is a very practical all-in-one device, but it does need some tinkering repasting and adjusting out of the box. mine in particular has issues around wol and absolutely needed cooling fans and better thermal paste. ymmv.
here is a popular one.
here is some discussion about these boxes with varying levels of success in using it, its quite good once the kinks are worked out.
this form factor is definetly something if you want a homelab without the hassle, pricetag, size, noise, energy consumption.... you can virtualize everything in it if you get one big enough.
