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:

  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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

There is a post about getting overwhelmed by 15 containers and people not wanting to turn the post into a container measuring contest.

But now I am curious, what are your counts? I would guess those of you running k*s would win out by pod scaling

docker ps | wc -l

For those wanting a quick count.

Server 1: 5 containers Server 2: 4 containers Server 3: 4 containers Server 4: 61 containers

Basically if a container is a resource hog, it gets moved somewhere with more resources or specialized hardware.

That's a wee bit imbalanced. Is server 4 your big boi?

It's the oldest, but not the most powerful. Not everything I host sees a lot of activity. But things like Plex/Jellyfin/Immich found their own hardware with better GPU support, and serious A/V or disk intense processes have a full spec PC available. There is also a remote backup system in place so a couple containers are duplicates.
