Hey, I was thinking about getting a VPS and hosting my own single user Lemmy instance. I am trying to think of other things to host. I already have some old hardware running unRAID with Plex, the *arrs, Kavita and home assistant. This is pushing my hardware to the limit but I still want to mess around with some self hosted things. Is there anything you would rather host on a rented server as opposed to a server sitting at your home?

    Fair enough! Curious if you’ve tried out Portainer with Docker templates which feels pretty close to 1-click installs.

      The closest I’ve gotten to playing with Docker is Distrobox while trying out Fedora Silverblue or openSUSE MicroOS, where most of the Docker functions are abstracted away. If I need something on my LAN where Docker is the best/only option, then yeah, I’d definitely dig into it.

      My approach to tech in general is a combination of just-in-time learning & you-ain’t-gonna-need-it, so… [shrugs]
