Self-Hosting

More context

The discussion around self-hosting is focused on practical, hands-on concerns: monitoring many services in one place, scaling content libraries (e.g., ~150k ebooks), and building higher-complexity systems (like Web 2.5 social with E2EE) that require careful architecture. Several posts also focus on foundational homelab decisions and troubleshooting, including hardware choices and whether repurposed gear or external storage is appropriate.
