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’m running internet to an out building 550’ from the main house. I’m going to trench an run conduit with pull strings and fiber. Do I just get regular multi it mode with sfp+ connectors on either end? Will my normal 10g switches be fine? Anything else I need to think about?

Use single mode fiber. Something armored would be best. Like https://www.fs.com/products/70220.html or https://www.fs.com/products/155226.html

Then I’d use bidi SFP modules on each side. BiDi uses a single fiber strand for both transmit and receive. This will give you a spare fiber to use later for a second connection or if one of the strands were to break you could use the other one. You need one of each of these modules

Use something like https://www.fs.com/products/178413.html on each end to protect the connections. You’ll need a panel to go inside also. https://www.fs.com/products/35488.html

Grab a few of these in whatever lengths you need to go from the wall box to the sfp module in the switch. https://www.fs.com/products/40446.html
