Hello everyone,

One thing I’m sure is in common between self-hosters and people over at r/nosurf is our aversion to the popular big services like Google, Facebook…

I started self-hosting a few years ago because I was sick of depending on big corps, but over time I started getting sick of anything related to technology (even though I’m a dev lol). Recently I’ve been experiencing downtime on my server and I still haven’t figured out the cause, and it’s kinda making me feel that I am a slave to my setup, the same way I was a slave to the big corps.

I was wondering if any of you felt something similar, and how would you design a self-hosted setup that’s as low-maintenance as possible (I’m already using a VPS instead of a home server to reduce maintenance).
