  • It’s not horrible, like it’ll do the job just fine, it’s just probably a better idea to use systemd and like, containers and whatnot, but I couldn’t be arsed to fiddle with all that for Jellyfin, caddy reverse proxy, and two modded Minecraft servers, so shell scripts and tmux won the day. It takes a little extra time to restart everything after an update, and maybe I’ll get the motivation to do things “correctly™” one day, but today is not that day.














  • That’s pretty dependant on hardware. If you host small stuff , like a pihole or something, that can be done relatively cheaply, by using a micro-PC or a Raspberry Pi. Some services don’t need to be always-on either, you only need stuff all the time if it’s mission-critical, otherwise you can turn stuff on and off as necessary, for power-saving purposes. Self-hosting doesn’t necessitate a huge rack and switches, or even your big gaming rig, my favorite thing to do with old laptops is throw Debian on it and find something I’d like to self-hosting from this list.
