Doing a small self-hosted Nextcloud to sync my KeePassXC database across devices. cPanel + Softaculous made it a breeze and the syncing works fine. Considering expanding my use of Nextcloud apps on my phone but haven't found many good ones on F-Droid so far, or at least getting them to work hasn't been obvious.

#42By self hosting, do you mean on a hosting service I pay for or my own computer/network?
For the latter, either everything or nothing depending on how you count it, since I outright refuse to buy 'licenses' for programs or run them on the 'cloud' and make sure to have everything running on my computer (ideally standalone).
So in that sense, all data is locally stored and all programs are of the buy once, use forever kind.
On my web hosting accounts, well then two websites really:
Wario Forums (https://warioforums.com)
And Gaming Reinvented (https://gamingreinvented.com)
Plus a few files for fan games and projects that people I know wanted a permanent host for (read, not something like Dropbox or Mediafire). For example, Mushroom Kingdom Fusion, Super Mario Fusion Revival and Mega Man Day in the Limelight are hosted on the same server too.

#43Here is a pretty good thread discussing precisely this, from the selfhosting community at Reddit.
I think it has a lot of good entries, which complements this thread well:

Closely related, but with a different focus is the Homelab community. Quite the rigs some of these guys have set up. http://reddit.com/r/homelab

#47Around 2 years ago, I started building my own E-Commerce platform. It started out as a Shopify alternative and now, it's a whole different ball game. It has all the features of marketing automation from Marketo mixed with the backend interface of Amazon.com plus an inbuilt Mailchimp. This means, you can sell a mixture of digital and physical goods online.
The whole thing started off as a side project while I was working as a consultant at the time, and now it's my full time job. The whole thing is hosted on Google Cloud, in particular AppEngine, so I don't need to worry about DevOps.
I refuse to empower companies like MailChimp who treat their customers like shit. The good thing is, I don't need to pay any percentage of my sales to anyone and no one is holding my data hostage like Shopify - who take your money, take your data and ask you to pay more to access it (checkout how Shopify analytics works).
I run a bunch of E-Commerce dropshipping businesses with this platform and it has served me well. I used Elixir/Phoenix/VueJS for my stack.

It's a blogging platform with ecommerce bolted on. I suspect it's a little bloated. Indeed, my experience with it was that in many respects it was very sluggish and inelegant.
