Selfhosted
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.

I guessed it was a "once bitten twice shy" kind of thing. This is all a hobby to me so the cost-benefit, I think, is vastly different, nothing on my setup is critical. Keeping all those records and up to date on what version everything is on, and when updates are available and what those updates do and... sound like a whole lot of effort when currently my efforts can be better spent in other areas.
In my arrogance I just installed Watchtower, and accepted it can all come crashing down. When that happens I'll probably realise it's not so much effort after all.
That said I'm currently learning, so if something is going to be breaking my stuff, it's probably going to be me and not an update. Not to discredit your comment, it was informative and useful.
