TrueNAS is an operating system designed for network-attached storage devices, but it only officially supports systems with x86_64 processors. Unofficially though, there's a new 64-bit ARM port that works on a Raspberry Pi 4 or 5. #TrueNAS#NAS#ARM#RaspberryPihttps://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2025/truenas-on-arm-finally-thing
So among the various things i #selfhost is my NAS. It's just a desktop that I installed a nice disk controler and some 12K SAS drives and #TrueNAS. But it lives, like a lot of my kit, in the garage. And it's hot in the garage tonight. Ambient air temp is like 82F/28C at 23:00 at night.
Most of the time it's fine. CPUs tend to run around 45C just doin normal stuff. But when I do an scp of a film I've digitized on my laptop, it goes over gigabit ethernet and that seems to warm up the CPUs. For the whole like 45-90 seconds the scp is running, the cores get super hot. Then it calms down.

Get a NAS with #Docker support (like #TrueNAS. You can install web-services like @nextcloud which is a completely self hostable Google Drive/Google Docs replacement with addons to extend functionality.

#DuckDuckGo is currently the best search engine that isn't self hosted however #SearXNG is self hostable and very customisable.
#OSMAnd (customisable) or #OrganicMaps (straight forward) for Maps. Both use #OpenStreetMaps
#Android replacement, well Android. I personally recommend @calyxos which comes with an open source replacement to emulate Play Services called #MicroG
Although #Proton is technically a great service, CEO has come out as a Trump supporter so I'll leave that to your personal opinon. Another good service is @Tutanota
I'm starting a new blog post series to document my journey of reducing my Google footprint using a homelab server running on TrueNAS Scale and using NextCloud Office as a Google Workspace alternative. Here's the intro! #linux #google #homelab #truenas #nextcloud
