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.

Basically title. Is it common to use some kind of RAID for backing up other RAIDs or do people just go with single drives?

RAID. No question. Or two individual drives each alternating full backups, which is what I do.

I just plugged in a new drive to replace an SSD that locked and wouldn't write new backups. It failed a format attempt. I immediately ordered a replacement. Remember the rule: one is none.

And for fucksake, have an offsite backup.
