I have now switched from some SaaS products to self-hosted alternatives:
- Feed reader: Feedly to FreshRSS.
- Photo management/repository: Google Photos to Imich or Imgich (don't remember).
- Bookmarks: Mozilla's Pocket to Hoarder.
And so far, my experience has been simple and awesome!

Yes, I have been using it and really enjoying it for deploying web apps. So far I have deployed web apps using: * fastapi (python) * Django ninja (python) * ghost cms (node) I have been writing up my thoughts (and an example): https://andrewperkins.com.au/kamal/ The ability to deploy to both cloud servers and on-premises is a big win as I often work on projects that have a mix of both. As the sibling comment says, it…
Great! Are you also deploying DB servers or any other kind of additional servers that are dependencies of those webapps?
``` accessories:
db:
image: mysql:8.0
host: 170.64.156.161
env:
secret:
- MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD
options:
restart: always
directories:
- data:/var/lib/mysqlFor my other services I am just using sqlite combined with a volume for persistence (managed by kamal)
I love the idea of self-hosting, especially since I keep a number of very tiny websites/projects going at any given time, so resources would not really be too much of an issue for me. What stops me is security. I simply do not know enough about securing a self-hosted site on real hardware in my home and despite actively continuing to learn, it seems like the more I learn about it, the more questions I have. My identi…
Of course there can be security issue on your webserver as well, but for a simple site this setup is learnable in an hour or two and you are ready to go.
You can hook that up on a pie attached to your router or pay a bit to have it hosted somewhere. Domain is perhaps 2-5$ and an TLS cert you can get from Let's Encrypt.
No idea how to put everything into a container that it makes sense. I just run this quite often on small hosted machines elsewhere. I just install everything manually because it takes 5 minutes if you have done it before.

Don't expose anything to the Internet. Use a tunneling tool (Tailscale et al) or VPN
You'll have a hard time hosting websites/projects meant for the public to view, if you don't allow public internet traffic :)

I am going to continue to stan for dokku for hosting web apps, docker images included https://dokku.com/
I've been through just about everything to get where I am and I've ended up with Hashicorp Nomad and Consul with Traefik, managed by OpenTofu (open-source Terraform). Things that haven't worked for me: - Standalone Docker: Doesn't work great on its own. Containers often need to be recreated to modify immutable properties, like the specific image the container is running. To recreate the container, you need to store s…
Do you run a Nomad cluster? Or just on a single host? This is my desired state, I've set up Nomad a number of times but always get stuck in one place or another. I've gotten much further with Nomad than Kubernetes, but I've kind of always gone back to ol' faithful, writing a docker compose file and running everything that way.

It is still my opinion that most businesses do not need Kubernetes, and neither should anyone self-hosting a service at home. I can see running something in a Docker container, and while I'd advise against containers what ships with EVERYTHING, I'd also advise against using Docker-compose to spin up an ungodly amount of containers for every service. You shouldn't be running multiple instances of Postgresql, or anythi…
If it wasn't for Kubernetes we'd need 1/3rd of our operations team. We're keeping unemployment down!
