I just remembered I started self hosting due to the old HAK5 youtube show, which I dearly miss.

What media do you enjoy regarding this topic?

      I like Self-hosted Show, as well. Sometimes it feels like they talk about a subject immediately after I start looking into it. The home lab zeitgeist can be eerie, I guess.

      They are extremely annoying to me. Dude pumped Raspberry Pis for far too long when there were so many better boards and options. And now is whoring out UnRAID which is by far the worst fucking option for selfhosters. And nextcloud is absolute fucking ass and that’s all they talk about, never services that are much better solutions. When I really got into selfhosting, I realized that they really don’t know wtf they are talking about and get paid to whore out inferior solutions.

        I don’t know unraid, so can’t comment on that, but I do have Nextcloud which has worked fine for me for years.

        What one-piece software solution do you have as an alternative to Nextcloud, that is still open source and self-hostable?

          I didn’t say one piece solution. One piece solutions always make sacrifices and are inferior. That’s why I use multiple solutions that are far superior in reliability, performance, and features.

        Can you elaborate? I know they’re paid and not FOSS, is there something else bad about them?

          You have to waste a usb drive to turn into drm garbage for licensing. They do obscure secret sauce shit to make mixed drives work… it’s far better to accomplish the same thing with mergerfs and snapraid as it’s open and documented properly. The whole spinning up docker containes by filling out web forms is just fucking gross.

          If you want a server distro with a UI then UnRAID offers literally nothing over OpenMediaVault which is free and open source and offers far more control.
