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.

If you keep an eye out for sales, you can get new drives for not much more than used. I got two Seagate Exos X20 20TB drives for around US$240 each on sale. One from Newegg and one from ServerPartDeals.
Regardless of if you buy new or used, buy the drives from multiple different suppliers as it makes it likely that they'll come from two different batches. You don't want an array where all drives came from the same batch since it increases risk (if there was a manufacturing issue with that batch, it's possible all drives will fail in the same way)
I'm thinking even different drive brands/models.
