Hello everyone! Mods here 😊
Tell us, what services do you selfhost? Extra points for selfhosted hardware infrastructure.
Feel free to take it as a chance to present yourself to the community!

I’m new to self-hosting world, for starting I subscribed to a VPS with 240GB of storage with Debian installed on so I could run my Yunohost server
I’m trying it out mostly for streaming music with Navidrome and run Fresh RSS. Also I use RSS Bridge so I can stay updated with some Instagram accounts

I even started hosting the website for my local Italian restaurant and they haven’t even realised it yet.
That’s pretty aweseom. The day I discovered I could host my own websites was eye opening. lol
Wait, what? How are hosting someone else’s website?
OK, here’s how it happened.
I was hungry, and I wanted to see the menu for my local pizza joint. I couldn’t find it anywhere.
I discovered that all their socials linked to a website that wouldn’t load. When I checked, the domain had lapsed.
Out of frustration, I purchased the domain and pulled the last snapshot of their website off archive.org. It had their full menu as a PDF.
6 months later and it’s still getting visitors from their facebook page, who are viewing the menu. They haven’t even realised.
That’s dedication. lol
I strive to be this level of…

Very impressive. I gotta ask, how is this feasible cost-wise? Mostly as in licensing for vshpere. I know you can get pretty far in windows server with evaluation keys, butI run an ESXi server on eval mode cuz I’m cheap and have to reset the license every 90 days with some commands and reboot 😅
