my collection of digital media files grew exponentially during the Covid-19 pandemic. I have a rented server with 4x10 GB spinning disks in RAID-10 (= 20 usable TB in total) and the array is already filled with over 10 TB. I expect to hit the full 20 TB in some months time, but this will then also be the maximum storage, that I will need.

However, the server is not horribly expensive, but also not a bargain with monthly payments around EUR 90,00. I wonder whether it would make sense to have the data at home instead. I have a home internet connection with 100 Mbit upload capacity, so even hosting my data at home for access on the go could be an option.

What would be your choice for the job? A NAS? Something else? I have no idea what the current "state of the art" solution is. It is important to me to at least have the data in a RAID-1 array. No Raid or Raid-0 is not an option. I know that a Raid Array is no replacement for backups, but it would let me sleep better anyhow. A NAS would be my first idea, but I saw that they are not cheap and I wonder whether going on renting the server (with free hardware replacements) isn't the better choice in the end...

Thank you very much in advance for your ideas and suggestions!

Stay negative or at least keep it mild & kind regards

These are some areas that set LES apart:

Our costs are transparent. I've outlined our specific costs to operate this site. Comes out to ~$30/mo and some change (3x Hetzner VMs ~$15/mo, monthly runcloud sub $15/mo, yearly mailcheap email hosting ~$2/mo). All of which I'm paying out of my own pocket without any issue.

Our ownership is transparent. @mikho and myself have full control over LES and its properties. We do not run LES as a business, but as a community-focused discussion space. We are the only admins at the moment, no moderators.

No membership fees... ever. We will never charge our members to participate here -- business-owners and private individuals alike. Doing so would be counterproductive to our goal of fostering a welcoming and all-inclusive community. Our ideas for generating revenue to fund development or pay for content have always been non-intrusive donations or sponsorships of blog posts from providers (i.e. "this month's technical blog post brought to you by TwonkRacks").

Ad-free. We don't have ads and won't be adding them. Period.

Community-powered Decisions. We believe before making any decision that impacts the community at-large, the first step is to gather input from those that will be impacted. Many many many feedback threads have been posted over the past couple years to gather community feedback to drive our decisions here at LES.

Feel free to reach out to me directly with any questions or concerns.
Cheers,
-Mason

I started to code a bit in Python again (just for fun) and am using https://www.pythonanywhere.com/ when I need an IDE on the go. Works very well so far, but I saw that there are plenty of alternatives out there. Too many to test them all myself. So I wonder - Which Python online IDE do you use and why?

Furthermore: On iOS - Would you recommend Pyto or Pythonista?

Thanks a lot in advance for you sharing your precious experiences!

Cheers,
Amitz

I never liked Wordpress too much and neither do I like anything database related.
After a long time of not building websites, I would like to build a small one with a blog and some static pages and wonder if my Wordpress alternative to go to from the past, https://www.getgrav.org is still a good choice or if there are better alternatives out there in the meantime...

Being flat file- and not database driven is a must.

Thank you in advance for your possible recommendations!
Take care, Amitz

I am looking for a self-hosted solution (Open Source) that does exactly the same as services like e.g. https://nachricht.co.

• You write a message
• The message gets encrypted (256 bit AES for example) and stored on the server
• The script generates a link that you can give to someone else
• That link shows the decrypted message and can only be openend once, the message gets deleted afterwards

Does anyone of you have a hint or idea for me where to look for something like this?

A million thanks & hugs in advance!

I would need your kind help. I have a DirectAdmin server here and would like to make WebDAV available securely to one user account. I have searched the DirectAdmin forums and the Interwebs, but most threads/instructions that I find are either horribly outdated or somehow unresolved and I, myself, have no experience with WebDAV besides using it from a client perspective.

Is there anybody here with a bit of experience to explain it to me or a link to a good and recent HowTo?
I am running DirectAdmin on a Linux/Debian 9 system...

Thank you so much in advance & kind regards
Amitz

Also did you face any difficulties with the setup?

Welcome to LowEndSpirit.com, a place to discuss running very low end (and these days not so low end) virtual private servers, I will be listing VPS plans I have found on the web that cost less than USD$7 / month (and occasionally above that figure) and how to run various services on them.

For those that are new to the whole 'Low End' scene the above paragraph is actually a tribute to LowEndBox as it was back when it launched in 2008, link to archive post: https://web.archive.org/web/20080424094819/http://www.lowendbox.com/blog/hello-world/

This was the origin of the whole $7 VPS idea and the idea of being able to do more with less.

Obviously things have evolved since then yet many people still have the spirit of the Low End. Sadly the original site/hub (LET/LEB) has become a muddy water where you likely to be throwing money away on scams and schemes. Those that have had the misfortune of communicating with me over the past 10 or less years that I have been involved in the industry will know my feelings about all this so I will not go in to any further detail here.

Originally LowEndSpirit was a hub for some of the first NAT (shared IP) virtual servers and containers available, it was an at cost community project (usually a loss in reality), this allowed people access to very cheap services with native IP6 and NAT IP4 usually with 128MB or 256MB of ram.

A number of hosts got involved in this early on, to this day some great hosts are still providing directly or providing the back end support for these services around the world such as MrVm, RansomIT services and Gullo Net

The LES NAT project exploded quickly and a few of the original hosts trying to offer it on a more commercial basis failed, these days a NAT VPS is a fairly common product offering, people took the idea and made it a better experience all around even offering end-user support in some instances.

The word LES became synonymous with a NAT or shared IP server which was creating some confusion and frustration but the community was still active to some degree so the original site and forum have been removed and replaced with this site and the new forum, the real motivator behind this was due to the ever-increasing scams and deliberate misdirections going on over at lowendbox/talk I took the decision to fork the community and give a safer option/place to exist in on a recognised name.

Now LowEndSpirit is open to all hosts (with some checks and verification) to post in a more open market place, the majority will happen over on the forums, link in the top bar, but i will post offers here occasionally from hosts offering something worth paying attention too.

The community here grew quickly but the old lowendspirit site still being up is creating some understandable confusion so this is the replacement.

That is the overview as to why this place exists and a brief history, feel free to take part in the discussions.

Hosts/Service providers if you want offers listed, please see the About/FAQ/Contact link on the right.

I try to virtualize a Debian installation under macOS and use VirtualBox for this. But I hate VirtualBox. Are you aware of any better solution? Thank you in advance for any good hint!

Kind regards

a friend of mine wants to build her own business website (small dog training company) based on Wordpress and stumbled across this service:
https://elementor.com

Are you aware of other (maybe free, maybe paid) services like that that help amateurs without much HTML/CSS/PHP knowledge to build an at least semi-nice site based on Wordpress?

It would be ideal if the end product can be used without any recurring payments and/or will be fully functional if the underlying service (Elementor in that case) deadpools. Recurring payments are okay if they provide (security) updates, but the website should not rely on anything that is externally hosted.

So, in fact, I am looking for a Wordpress Theme Builder, paid or non-paid.

Thank you very much in advance & kind regards

I have used nginx for several years to run a busy website, bit since I gave up most of my online projects, nginx has never been touched again. I must admit that I forgot nearly everything that I knew about it.

I would now like to install nginx on a VPS to work as caching proxy in front of Apache.
Do you have any good configuration hints that you can share for the given use case scenario?
Any links to good sites with tutorials for this? I know that it is not overly complicated, I just do not want to miss any good config setting to get the best result possible and I am not aware of the options that nginx has to offer im the meantime...

Thank you very much in advance!
