Just got into this business and I have a few ideas from running a personal wiki to Bitwarden, Plex etc. I'm curious what you folks are running so we can all share and explore more ideas. Thanks!

I am only self-hosting my VPN. I prefer managed services more because I want my things to work. Like I had given tought to self host Bitwarden but the thing is Password Manager is a backbone and I can aford to loose it.

I am DevOps since 2+ yrs and I have been working in IT for 4+ yrs. I have seen multiple disastors so I am a huge advocate of managed services.

I've been hosting a fork of Tiny Tiny RSS[0] since 2005. Moving it between servers and Postgres instances has been easy and I like having the old data in perpetuity.

These days only static websites and NextCloud.

In the past, i have self-hosted numerous CMS platforms, Matrix homeserver, mail server, Samba server, etc.; probably not so unique among self-hosters. Lately, I have been thinking of revisiting whether to stand up my matrix homeserver again (just for my family and I), or if I just pay a monthly fee to a matrix provider.

How common is it for websites to have RSS feeds, anymore?

Maybe not what you expect for an answer, but I'm self-hosting a telegram bot that does a bit of scrapping of a certain site I'm interested in, and serving those messages to a couple of subscribers (around ~10 people).

I know, it is a very low user count, the interesting bit is, I wrote this bot in Rust using async with Tokio, and it's running on a Raspberry Pi 2011.12 with 256 megs of ram and a single ARMv6 core.

I was able to compile a fully modern language for a 10 years old architecture, and on avg has a load of 0.2 of CPU usage with 10 megs of ram!

It was a very painless process using cross-rs, and I'm still quite surprised how well has worked until this day.
