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 forget the specific issue I had trying the LXC route, but the easiest one for me was Docker in a VM. This LinuxServer.io guide really helped me. I've been meaning to move from Docker to Podman so I can learn how that works and get the security benefits, but the existing setup works and there were a few stumbling blocks I don't feel like dealing with again. For example, and in case any other newbies like me run into these:
qm set 101 -scsi1 /dev/disk/by-id/ && qm set 101 -scsi2 /dev/disk/by-id/ && qm set 101 -scsi3 /dev/disk/by-id/
Changing docker storage location so your VM doesn't fill with docker data.
I like to specify a docker folder, with a config folder for each service. With my frankenstein server of mismatched drives pooled via MergerFS however, I found writes for my merged path ( /mnt/storage ) were slower than when using a specific drive's path (such as /mnt/data2). Giving paths on data2 for containers to store configs, and data1 for qBittorrent and NZBGet gave me the best download speeds. For the same reason I specify a data2 path for Jellyfin and Plex to use for transcoding and reads use the merged path. That way completed downloads are moved to whichever data drive has the most free space
