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:

  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.

Ok, you've got me curious - Why 3 different active directory domain controllers?

Just for redundancy! One DC VM per physical vSphere host. Each DC also handles internal DNS records for my network.

Very impressive. I gotta ask, how is this feasible cost-wise? Mostly as in licensing for vshpere. I know you can get pretty far in windows server with evaluation keys, butI run an ESXi server on eval mode cuz I'm cheap and have to reset the license every 90 days with some commands and reboot πŸ˜…

What is the scale of your network, like is this all just in your house?
