Self-Hosting

More context

Right now, self-hosting discussions focus on practical setup and performance tradeoffs (benchmarks, “starting” guidance) alongside growing experimentation with home-server platforms and services (NAS, home lab projects, self-hosted VPNs). Several threads also reflect operational realities—sharing what broke after years of 24/7 use and seeking OS/platform evaluations—plus niche infrastructure planning like iPaaS on Kubernetes.
