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 mean, if you have around 17 million containers running services, maybe.

@BaldProphet
What's the smallest container around? How much RAM would that take?

edit: FROM scratch let's you run bare binaries on Docker.

Would be very interesting to see how far that could get. What sort of payload/task would be interesting for all those containers?

Doesn't need to be a "traditional" container. Modulo noisy-neighbour issues, wasm sandboxing could potentially offer an order of magnitude better density (depending on what you're running; this might be more suited to specific tasks than providing a substrate for a general-purpose conpute service).

@gedhrel
wasm sandboxes can take IPs? Regardless, if we're just talking density, I can put multiple IPs on a single interface or create a ton of virtual interfaces. That's boring, though.

Yes. The sandbox gets whatever capabilities you expose to it.
