Does Joppin has a server? Or do you simply have a place for the mark down files? That's what I do.

Synapse (Matrix), Mastodon (Fediverse), WireGuard, and static websites. Syncthing kinda counts, being primarily P2P, I suppose!

I'm generally focused on self-hosting communicating things, slowly branching out into hosting my own media services. Right now it's mostly just Syncthing'ing around my FLACs, but I'd like to set up streaming for my low-storage-space devices.

I just run pi-hole and Tailscale for now. Tailscale modifies the DNS config on every device, and lets you specify the pi-hole server as the primary DNS server on the tailscale.com admin console. Much more convenient than figuring out DNS config for the 4 different OS's I use. I switched to BitWarden a few weeks ago from LastPass. I want to self host VaultWarden which is an API compatible rewrite. I chose VaultWarden…

You can also configure PiHole as a DHCP server that sets itself as the DNS server. This way you only have to configure it once and devices should accept it as the default DNS. Had to do that to sidestep my locked down ISP router config…

I've been hosting the Sonarr/Radarr/Lidarr/Prowlarr stack, Plex, HomeAssistant and a Misskey server and a Matrix server for close friends. I had considered Bitwarden too, but at $10/year I'd rather just pay to have it hosted reliably, while I self-host things that don't outright make it hard for me to do stuff if they happen to go down.

FWIW, BitWarden syncs your passwords locally. The only time you would run into issues is if you need to access using a new device, or a new password that you haven't synced (ex signed up today but haven't used the BitWarden app).

The only scenario self hosting BitWarden is a problem is if I am away, there has been a power outage at my house and nobody I can ask to switch on the server, and I have misplaced my phone and laptop and need to access my passwords. Pretty unlikely. I have some neighbours I can trust too, so I'm pretty sure that scenario will basically never happen.

(I will need to make sure everything starts up properly on startup though. Or maybe my 12 year old neighbour will get a lesson in linux.)
