stupid question I know but let me explain. I self host only because I love learning random things and this was just another thing that I convinced myself I needed to learn, not out of necessity. I am hosting an *arr media system right now but that is pretty much the only thing I actually need, I have unlimited google photos so I don’t need Immich, I am happy with bitwarden so I don’t need vaultwarden, don’t need home assistant, nextcloud, bookstack etc so what I should I self host? throw any idea you have at me.
Well bro, I just learnt the basics of docker by setting up a bunch of containers and giving it a front end with Homarr, learnt about SSL’s and reverse proxies with nginx, letsencrypt, and duckdns.
The services/containers I’m running are: -FreshRSS -Syncthing -NextCloud -VSCode -Trillium -JellyFin -AdGuard -Qbitorrent
This was quite the process but if the uni-style workflows are successfully implemented. It is very worth it. Even just to learn or suppliment your knowledge.
