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 a couple of friends with nextcloud, and I have nextcloud too. Low tech ish? But we just host our files on Nextcloud and then copy backups to the other machines every now and then.

    My NC uses about 6gb of RAM, and it is really badly optimized, since it’s been running forever and isn’t a container, or even a server deploy. (It’s a snap running in desktop Ubuntu since 2016.)

    Anyone could do better, I just can’t be bothered.

    My buddy has his running on 1.5GB of RAM in a container.

    I also host a bunch of other stuff. Navidrome and freshrss get the most use, other than Nextcloud. Immich, searx-ng, jellyfin, guacamole.

      I never became friends with Nextcloud for some reason :/ Long story short: I have lots of files but not large ones. For nextcloud there’s no deep system integration like Apple iCloud has (basically just enter your credentials and everything else is handled and it’s fast + end-to-end encrypted). I’d set up an instance if I had frens who would use it as well

        deep system integration

        You mean remote-mounting a filesystem? That’s possible; you don’t need NC for it.
