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.

Calendar and contacts (i.e. CalDAV/CardDAV). A blog. Media is just remote-mounted since all my systems are Linux.
I'm always leery of "one app for all" solutions, or in German, "eierlegende Wollmilchsau".
Hence, no Nextcloud for me.
Currently working to move away from Nextcloud myself, it's PHP nature causes IO storms when it tries to check if it needs to reload any code for incoming requests.
Eh, my Nextcloud LXC container idles at less than 4.5% CPU usage ("max over the week" from Proxmox). I use PostgreSQL as the backend on a separate LXC container that has some peaks of 9% CPU usage, but is normally at 5% too.
I only have two users, though. But both containers have barely IO activity.
Oh yeah, CPU usage is basically zero, and memory usage of the PHP code itself is also basically nil compared to other software I run. It's just the sudden storms of IO requests that causes issues, and since those come over a network pipe it causes issues for other pieces of software as well.
I see some CPU and memory usage on my setup... but I don't even see any IO!
Literally, the IO chart for "week (maximum)" on Proxmox for my Nextcloud LXC container is 0, except for two bursts, of 3 hours of less each. (Maybe package updates?)
The PostgreSQL LXC container has some more activity (but not much), but that's backing Nextcloud and four other applications (one being Miniflux, which has much more data churn).
