    Update : my ISP does not provide GUA… So, whatever. Stick to IPv4 for the time being, no need to get complicated with IPv6 nat when I already have IPv4 nat working fine.

    I actually have two ISP and one does support ip 6 with a GUA and that’s where I got confused… Unfortunately, it’s the one providing 20mb/sec FTTC that I use only for backup. The main one, the one providing 300mb/sec over FVA does not.


  • Mostly because my files stay on my hardware, on my network. In case of internet down/broken/filtered I can still access all my data. That is one of the points of self hosting. Not the only one, granted, and maybe not even the most critical, but having the opportunity, better to host on your turf.

    Go ahead the self host on a cloud somewhere, nothing bad about that! Have fun, enjoy, learn and be digitally independent is the core of self hosting.



  • Why use an external cloud? While its technically still kind of self its not self hosted anymore IMHO. You would still be running your services, but on somebody else, rented, hardware. While I do the same for a few services (like email), i wouldn’t suggest it for general services that you want to reside on your turf (like immich, music, 'arrs, passwords, whatever)













  • Zfs for some reasons is always loved by the self hosting experts.

    Personally I don’t like it because it’s over complicated and not officially part of the Linux kernel.

    20y of self hosting for me means Linux software raid (raid1 then moved to raid5) and mostly ext4, recently (=last 2 years) upgraded to btrfs on my data raid. Btrfs at least is integrated in the Linux kernel and while has some drawbacks (don’t do raid with btrfs, put btrfs on MD raid instead) its been super rock solid.

    I would have kept ext4, but thought why not try btrfs, and it’s been so smooth that I had no reasons to go back.
