I was wondering what other people self host as I recently got a new server and wanted to use it for more. I'm currently self hosting Matrix, Gitea, and Nextcloud.
Aside from saving more money on my hosting with a "managed server"... DreamHost was the one who taught me about the importance of that. DreamHost was my very first shared hosting and I loved it. But I outgrew it very quickly. Then I went and upgraded to one of their new services, DreamPress, at the time... which was great until it wasn't.<p>I left them simply because if my website went down... at first, they gave you control over at least restarting your server but that disappeared and I needed that. If I had to start, I had to contact their support team who might take a few hours to respond. I couldn't have my website being down for more than a few minutes. So I got on a server that allowed me to restart as I deemed fit. Being able to SSH into your own server for additional things you need to do also is a bonus. And I prefer having that control over something I am running then having to reach out to support any time I needed it.
Vintage Nintendo Pokemon Rom Collection<p>Fair Use. Air gapped. Recycled from work Intel Gen 3 HP Laptop HDD server. For initiating kindergarteners into the joys of "binary corruption" (and get ash ketchum to say silly things). But I am into it! SQLite3 hiscore persistence. WASM emulation. AI upscaling. As a hobby? It's provided wayyy more fun than Minecraft & Roblox combined ;)
I toyed with Umbrel[0] but only to try it out. I was unsure of the security model of having all my eggs in one basket. I only self-host things as separate and distinct instances now.<p>[0] <a href="https://umbrel.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://umbrel.com/</a>
