A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
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.

It could be costly in a few places, so choose your host wisely:
I know that R2 has no charge for ingress/egress.
The block and db costs are technically unbounded, and will never decrease by default.
- data ingress/egress
- storage (block and DB)
Do you have any estimations on the relationship between user count and average data transfer rates, and the average rate of storage increase?
It would depend completely on how many users you let in and what kind of things they'll be doing. Some users are super heavy with uploading images, some users aren't.
I haven't read the docs in a long time, but perhaps you could restrict image uploading or something. Nothing you can do about unbounded DB growth without expiring content though.

Do you have any particular recommendations for a host?
I can tell you it will be the most expensive on AWS or Azure. That's about all I could say without pricing stuff out.
