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.

The sensor is located on the case (not near the exhaust) of the server. With the structure of my appartment this is the only place I can realistically put my Server but sadly also the hottest place in my appartment.

The outside temperature is supposed to reach 36°C today so I expect the ambient temp for the server to rise another 2-3 degrees.

For the rack in the closet, I cut a 4" duct off the ac, and piped it into the top of the closet. For one of my computers, it seemed to always run hot, so I bought two 6" box fans and mounted one over each of the two CPU. I have a little gadget that comes with Open Hardware Monitor so I can keep an eye on it. Currently running 100 freedom degrees, but it will fluctuate +/- 10 degrees depending on load. The only downside is they are a bit noisy, not extremely, but you can hear them buzzing away keeping shit cool so I don't complain much and just turn the music up. LOL
