iiiInteresting media, podcasts, shows, blogs on topic of self-hosting you like?
StritI listen to the Self-hosted Show and the Home Assistant podcasts.
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 by far. And nextcloud as absolute fucking ass and that’s all they talk about, never services that are better. I cut my teeth with that podcast, but when I really got into selfhosting realized that they really don’t know wtf they talk about.
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 performance and features.
UnRAID which is by far the worst fucking option
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.
