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.

I've been using gparted live for the most part to repair all sorts of stuff, but I'm wondering if anyone else has any other more modern recommendations, preferably even ones with Wifi or more graphics card support!

I also find installing deb packages to be way slower than they should be on a modern system (what are deb packages doing that alpine apk and arch packages don't??)

Bonus if they boot fast, too.

As an All-In-One, I use Parted Magic

It costs money, but I use it for work, so the money is totally worth it, just for the GUI environment.

But, for most things, all I ever need is gparted, smartctl / smartmon and maybe grub - I believe all that's on Arch ISO

Oh, and CloneZilla...
