No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.

Currently all containerised running on a debian VM on a Rockylinux Qemu/KVM hypervisor. Initially I was using rocky+podman but inevitably hit something I wanted to run that just straight up needed docker and was too much effort to try and get working. 🤷

Hardware is an circa 2012 gaming machine with a few ZFS raids for all of my Linux ISOs. It lives an extremely tortured existence and longs for the sweet release of death.

Toying with the idea of migrating it all to on-prem virtualised kubernetes cluster using helm charts to manage the stacks and using NFS mounts for persistent storage because I hate myself (and to upskill I guess)

What about you?

I used to self host everything but nowadays I value my time too much so I have moved my data to google drive and back it up to a local hard disk periodically. Photos go to iCloud and google photos. iCloud is running my email domain (previously was google domains/gmail)

I still do run a Plex server with my shield tv pro but that’s mostly to access my TV tuner as I stream my media from google drive directly instead.

I just got tired of taking time away from my family to troubleshoot my services or just live with downtime. I did run a $5 linode to host things for awhile but eventually it just became more cost effective to just refactor things to run natively on various cloud services. I even just redesigned my personal website/blog to run on google sites

I still love to follow the self hosted community, someday I will take my data back just not right now.

I had you till you got to running your blog on google sites. Like not even blogger, but straight up google sites. As someone who tried using google sites for this purpose, I wrote one post and I was like, not doing it, it is too much.

Yeah google sites is not a great platform for a blog. I chose it for aesthetic reasons and not functionality for sure

Totally respect that, I question my sanity frequently
