@[email protected] yeah if you want to host something like Lenny you may be able to do it on a home server but in terms of ports blocked, security, etc I guess it is easier to run it in a VPS

@[email protected] idk about ansible but if you are starting I would recommend starting small, in your personal computer. Docker is a good way to start

@[email protected] not sure what that means but I guess you can do certain thing in your home server not allowed on a VPS. OTOH, an email server at home for example is much more difficult to achieve because your ISP most likely won’t allow you to open port 25

There are definitely benefits on running a server at home but you could say the same of a VPS. As long as you control it, it is self hosted in my book.
