For most personal projects, hosting on the cloud may be overkill, but tempting with its supposed ease of use and benefits of scale. Self-hosting is often overlooked as a solution with the benefit of simplicity and cost.

Interesting discussion and demonstration of self hosting the kinds of apps most personal projects will end being.

    I selfhost for 2+ years and it is both a job and really cool. We‘re not at real consumer self hosting yet imo but we‘re close.

    My setup is around 50 docker containers on two servers. Important (offline) and security conscious stuff at home and fediverse services on a vps.

    I‘m currently working on object storage which is a lot of work but its fun and maybe will come in handy too.

    You can check my setup on github. Feel free to hit me up if you want to do it too or wanna discuss stuff. You can also see my matrix in my bio.

    Have a good one.
