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.

Ok scaling is not what we’re talking about here lol.
Is it shutting down servers... Yes. it just does it based on parameters and thresholds.
Then you get things like VDI servers and jump boxes that only need to be on between certain hours, so get shutdown outside them hours.
No Donny it’s not. You’re out of your element here.
They're fuckin' nihilists dude, they don't believe in anything
But it is. They're stopped and deallocated. They start up when demanded. And shutdown when below a threshold or a certain schedule.
I’m starting to understand why British admins are paid so much less than their American counterparts.
You do understand, when you have VM's set to auto scale, they shutdown when not in use, if you're using horizontal scaling.
Right you don't shut them down, you scale them down. My server also uses less power off peak demand.
No we shut them down. They get deallocated the same way as shutting down a virtual server does. They're not containers, the scaling part just turns them on and off based on workload or schedule
Most of us don't have clusters so shutting down the server means taking the server and all associated services completely offline.
Do you take your product completely offline for 8 hours every single day?
