Hi, all!
Bartender, pour me a beer, please. And not a cheap one, nor a traditional one. I had a bad beer (the most sold in the country) yesterday at a friend's house and it left me a bitter taste (figuratively and literally, too).
Wanna talk about self hosting? For the past year I've been slowly moving some services to self hosted alternatives and it's all been going very well.
I'm currently self hosting a music server (I've been doing this for 3 years now), backups for a website/app thingie with 6 users, Syncthing for files and smartphone photo backup, a web based file manager and 2 personal websites.
I'm very happy with it and I want to also host an RSS reader, maybe a searx instance.
For this I'm using a Raspberry Pi 1, a Raspberry Pi 3, an external SSD, 2 SD cards, and an Ethernet cable.
Why 2 Raspberry Pies? I figured I'd set up 2 Syncthing instances so if one fails, I'll have the other and the backups keep rolling! I was going to set up 2 drives on RAID, but this sounded easier for me and more resistant, maybe? I already had 2 Raspberry Pies anyways!
So, what do you guys self host?
