Hey,

I know it sucks to rely on cloud services but it is what it is. I use Apple iCloud, Bitwarden and GitHub.

Technically, I could self-host all three but I want my backups not at my place or at least have them in both places cloud/at home.

I do have two spare Raspberry Pi Zero 2W and one small computer with an old i5 / 8 GB RAM.

What do you personally self-host?

    I own my data. I own my installation. That’s what I care about.

    Why would I want to own the hardware, when it’s in an inaccessible building far away.

      We host most stuff at home, and then additionally some services at Hetzner on an (auctioned) root server. Bloody nice to get really good hardware for cheap, plus unlimited data with either 1 or 10Gbit synchronous network speed, a dedicated IPv4,…

      Stuff like my mail server lives there because it HAS to be available, and doing it at home, and doing it well, is next to impossible.

      I’m planning a nix hydra + cache server, which will probably also live on the Hetzner server, simply because it’ll have pretty intense jobs to run a lot of the time and I’m not a fan of having the noise of spun-up fans at home.

      Both solutions have their place, is what I’m saying / agreeing.
