I work in tech and am constantly finding solutions to problems, often on other people’s tech blogs, that I think “I should write that down somewhere” and, well, I want to actually start doing that, but I don’t want to pay someone else to host it....
If it’s a static site, you can host that anywhere for free on the big cloud providers, aws has s3 storage, Microsoft has blobs, github has pages, all which can be configured to run a site well under the paid tiers.
I use it to manage my subdomains, something like notes.mywebsite.com would point at my trillium instance while photos.mywebsite.com would point at my my immich container it has more uses but that’s my extent. I just have an instance of a cloud flare dns updater keeping my domain in sync with my ip so I don’t have to do that manually when it changes.
So in my scenario cloud flare is just part of my setup.
I wish I could’ve like next cloud more, but it seemed bloated as all hell and was slow regardless of what machine I tried running it on :(. I might give it another go one day.
Hi everyone. I’m on the verge of building a new NAS/Media server, and wanted to check here to see if any of you could provide some recommendations based on my goals (below) or your current builds. I currently have a Raspberry Pi 4 running some basic services (Portainer, Home Assistant, Plex, sonarr/radarr/prowlarr, sabnzbd,...
Just throwing out an option if you aren’t aware, gohardrives on ebay and on their site sell used Hdds. 10Tb for $80. The catch is they’ve been used in data centers for 5 years. The company will guarantee the drives for an addition 5 years and it could save you a lot of money depending on how much you want to risk it. I went with 3, one being a parity drive in case other goes bad.

What's the point of a reverse proxy and does cloudflare give all the benefits of one?
Migrated my self-hosted Nextcloud to AIO and I absolutely love it
Just wanted to share my happiness....
