Self-Hosting

More context

Across homelab and home server communities, self-hosting is trending as people build or expand personal “family” setups (including compact Proxmox/Linux/KODE OS options) while also prioritizing operational reliability like power-outage restart and strengthening security practices. A secondary thread focuses on offline, self-hosted apps (e.g., a comic manager) and productivity gains from self-hosted LLMs.
