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.

I would use terraform to provision servers, and go with a “backup, automate and deploy” approach. Documentation would be a plus

Yea. This is what I do. Other than my Synology, I use Terraform to provision everything locally. And all my pi holes are controlled by ansible.

Also everything is documented in trillium.

Whole server regularly gets backed up multiple times, one is encrypted and the other via syncthing to my local desktop.

Terraform is the only missing brick in my case, but that's also because I still rent real hardware :) I'm not fond of my backup system tho, it works, but it's not included in the automated configuration of each service, which is not ideal IMO.
