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.

I'm using FreeBSD now and I have been blown away at how well it just works and gets out of your way. I am using appjail templates to script containerisation of my services
Yes yes yes. It's great to see other FreeBSD fans here with the same opinion.
I was using Debian as a server OS for more than twenty years with short escapades to other distros but then I discovered FreeBSD and there was no way back. ;)
Could you explain more about how you found FreeBSD to be superior to Debian for a server OS?
Anything you want me to touch on specifically?
Semantically superior OS components, performance, QoL improvements in networking and storage stacks please
What services do you run on FreeBSD? Does using FreeBSD limit you in the number of apps you can have, as most of them target Linux?
I am also curious. FreeBSD is, in my opinion, is such an unorthodox choice.
If I remember correctly when Microsoft bought Hotmail years ago, it was run on FreeBSD and SUN Solaris (And it took Microsoft a really long time to migrate it to Windows servers, but that's another thing).
Netflix is also hosted from freebsd
No, I haven't found anything that I haven't been able to host.
I have Jellyfin, silverbullet, nginx web server with certbot etc, java game servers, samba and nfs shares, syncthing, qbittorrent, etc.
