For a growing number of reasons, as with most people here, I am more desirous of self-hosted solutions to replace proprietary ones, yet, as with many others, I am not in a position to fully self-host with a server at home. Any comments on kinda-self-host, where you rent a server from a third party and do all the same shenanigans on it? Specifically, I’m thinking of data storage and streaming.
Please share any information resources if you can.
I don’t like it, the whole point to me is to not pay anyone to store thing on a computer that I don’t own. If you have a dedicated IP I would always prefer a homelab
Hell, even if you don’t have a dedicated IP (where I live they don’t hand you one unless you’re a business) that’s pretty easy to sort out if your registrar has an API for updating DNS zones.
Moved all of my services from a shitty VPS to an old laptop a couple weeks ago and everything’s been pretty comfy so far.
