In recent years, I’ve started self-hosting some services. This is mostly a hobby, but it is also nice to know that my data is in my own hands, that I won’t be running into (unforeseen) subscription fees, and it’s a great learning opportunity.
Some of the services I self-host include:
- This website (public files available here)
- My private git server using the Gitea project
- A music server
- A private cloud environment using the NextCloud project
- A private password manager
- An SSO Environment that provides authorization and authentication for all these services.
- A home automation server with many, many integrations.
Most of these services are only for myself, but a few of them (Nextcloud, Vaultwarden, Plex) are also being used by friends and family.
