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 have enough to think about without the damn file system getting complicated. So plain old ext4. It's stable, it works it's great.
I used btrfs once and it went really badly. When it gets corrupted it refuses to even let you mount read only. The documentation isn't good and you end up finding obscure wiki's with big warnings to only run these commands if you know what you're doing - but of course I don't, there's no where to learn it and the only people who do know are the developers who wrote the file system. No thanks! It holds your data captive, so you better have some spare time and some backups. Never again.
That's my issue with btrfs as well. If you can't recover a file system when something goes wrong it isn't production ready imo.
Totally agree, plus it's 14 years old, and at this point I think it's fair to just give up on it.
