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.

An m2 / m2 runs Debian?
Yes, thanks to AshiLinux
I was thinking more like just having dockers on macOS
But running a Linux like asahi is an option
I host using an M1 Mac Mini using Fedora Asahi Linux. Installed easily, no problems. Fast and quiet!
I ran a Minecraft server for a while. Worked fine.
IMO venturing out in the unknown using fringe case hardware/software is a hobby by itself. It’s my 2nd hobby besides self hosting. Being more about experimenting than stability and ease of use, it’s not compatible with self hosting so I keep them separate
Yes.. https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Apple/M1
I mean technically it does. Isn't this the Ashai Linux and isnt it very Alpha / Beta stage? As far as I'm aware this is not recommended for anything critical ( per the project maintainers) and unless OP loves tinkering he is most likely going to hit a lot of unique edge case scenarios that require a lot of time to unwind. If you have a very narrow use case this might work but is probably not worth the headache.
All the hardware support for the Mac Mini is complete and working.
I’ve had no problems running Asahi Linux on an M1 Mac Mini.
Asahi is not at all “alpha” and I’d hesitate to describe even parts of it on the first and second generation Apple silicon as “beta.” Its daily driver levels of stability and I’m constantly impressed by it.
From the Ashai website - "Asahi Linux is a work in progress. Many hardware components are not yet supported!"
Just be warned a lot of people have bricked or nearly bricked their computers just trying to get Ashai installed on their Mac. Daily driver this is not but they are making great progress! It will get there eventually.
BULLSHIT
No one has hard bricked a device, you can always flash MacOS back with a tool. Any issues installing are years old. OFC it's a work in progress, so is all of Linux even RHEL. It is 100% ready to daily drive and many people do.
Ok cool 😎
It's a fair warning, but on my M2 MBA the only things that don't work are the microphone and some elements of graphics acceleration. I keep macos on a tiny partition for firmware updates and, I guess, to recover in the event of a catastrophic failure, but ... it's been rock solid. Most of the software I use has compatible builds, which might be the most surprising part.
