Hello everyone,

I am about to renovate my selfhosting setup (software wise). And then thought about how I could help my favourite lemmy community become more active. Since I am still learning many things and am far away from being a sysadmin I don’t (just) want tell my point of view but thought about a series of posts:

Your favourite piece of selfhosting

I thought about asking everyone of you for your favourite piece of software for a specific use case. But we have to start at the bottom:

Operating systems and/or type 1 hypervisors

You don’t have to be an expert or a professional. You don’t even have to be using it. Tell us about your thoughts about one piece of software. Why would you want to try it out? Did you try it out already? What worked great? What didn’t? Where are you stuck right now? What are your next steps? Why do you think it is the best tool for this job? Is it aimed at beginners or veterans?

I am eager to hear about your thoughts and stories in the comments!

And please also give me feedback to this idea in general.

    It’s been a long term build. With unraid it’s been pretty easy to slowly add disks one disk at a time.

    I’m moving everything towards 22tb disks right now. It’s still got a handful of 4 and 5tb disks in it. I’ve ended up with a pile of smaller disks that I’ve pulled and just… sit around.

    I also picked up a Synology recently that houses 12x 12tb disks that goes into that total count. I’ve got another couple Synologys just laying around unused.
