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.

Ram is definitely abysmal on Qnap, so it's one reason for hesitation. But I wanted to get some idea how much power saving is possible on dedicated NAS. If it's not much, I would rather keep my PC.
Sure, I have an old PC with an energy efficient mainboard and a PicoPSU and I wouldn't want anything else. I believe it does somewhere around 20W-25W though. And I have lots of RAM, a decent (old) CPU and enough SATA ports.... Well, I would go for a newer PC, they get more energy efficient all the time... But it's a lot of effort to pick the components unless some PC magazine writes something or someone has a blog with recommendations.
