I'm unsure what to self-host (lemmy.zip)

Hey,

I know it sucks to rely on cloud services but it is what it is. I use Apple iCloud, Bitwarden and GitHub.

Technically, I could self-host all three but I want my backups not at my place or at least have them in both places cloud/at home.

I do have two spare Raspberry Pi Zero 2W and one small computer with an old i5 / 8 GB RAM.

What do you personally self-host?

I have three servers running these days.
One is a NAS that hosts the .arr suite and my torrent client. This is just to keep the media management in one place.
A N100 NUC that runs a lot of stuff in Proxmox, like Jellyfin, Heimdal, HomeAssistant, PiHole, Tailscale. I hope to add Caddy to this in the future, but I've never played with a reverse proxy before so I'm a tiny bit scared hehe.
Lastly is a inudstrial PC I got from work that hosts game servers. Right now it's down as we haven't had time to game, but usually it's either a Minecraft server or Valheim.

For backup I have one copy on the NAS and I upload the most critical data to a cloud service I trust and pay for. This is now Proton.
My dream is finding a tech friend with his/her own NAS so we can set up a encrypted partition on each others NASes for automatic backup. I give you 1 TB, you give me 1 TB, life's good!

Thank for mentioning Caddy. I'm currently using Nginx. Caddy seems to be awesome!

Pangolin is pretty awesome as well and combines a lot of services all in one package such as reverse proxy, SSO, Crowdsec waf, etc.

Caddy is extremely easy to set up for reverse proxies! I have Caddy reverse proxy my headscale server and it's been a dream. Literally three lines of config per proxy.
