    Some might disagree but the 2 services I don't self-host are:

    1. Email - I used to use my own but my server once went down and I missed a couple of very critical emails. Email is fine but I'd rather leave it to the professionals.
    2. Password Manager - I used to use KeePass for many many years but once Bitwarden came, I made the switch and never looked back. Vaultwarden is amazing but to me losing out on my passwords is not worth it. (and yes I know we can make our own backups but to me the convenience > risk).

    My advice for new self-hosters would be to understand the basics of terminal, networking and Linux as a lot of issues come down to those things. I'd also recommend opting for containerization (Docker and the like) as it makes stuff smoother.

    I self host Coolify as my main service. It trivializes a lot and gives you solid control but one can choose what they prefer.

    Some services to self-host:
    1. Umami - Analytics
    2. rTorrent + ruTorrent - Torrenting
    3. Uptime Kuma - Uptime
    4. Wireguard + WireGuard Easy
    5. Hiddify and similar
    6. Calibre
    7. NextCloud, PhotoPrism

    This is where a service like Coolify and dockerization are handy because if something goes wrong you can easily delete/restart. There are many similar ones e.g. Dokploy.

    Also, for those who've been self-hosting for years - what's your advice for newbies like me who want privacy but don't want to spend every weekend troubleshooting config files?

    docker compose makes it easy nowadays to set up services in literally seconds however I can't guarantee you won't need to spend a few days troubleshooting stuff.
    However it's still much easier than it was without docker.

    I'm self-hosting a lot of stuff currently, mostly things people discussed here already.
    Other than that - I really like immich as google photos alternative. It became really polished lately.

    I tried bitwarden (vaultwarden) but found it bit too complex and personally I don't have a need for it.
    I had my keepass synced with syncthing for years and it works just as well.

    Very thorough and useful.

    1. Backup everything. You ain’t doing much anyways
    2. Be careful to buy all those amazing deals that idle
    3. Try everything. Use a IAC solution to try more tools unless you really wanna geek out on config but it’s not 2010 anymore

    self host anything to me is fine but i dont self host email coz pay peanuts can get email service. what impt to me is what others had mentioned, backup, backup, backup.
    i had a docker server, all the grafana, prometheus, jenkins, wordpress, mysql containers in it, prepare to show case during my job interview but few hours before, the provider network went down. it was not cool.

    also for self host, some of the more sensitivity tool like password manager, i add nginx http basic auth as added protection while others added mTLS which is more complex but allow for smaller attack surface.

    I'm wondering, if we host something like Jellyfin, Navidrome, or Plex for private use on a VPS/VDS, do we need a provider that ignores DMCA? Let's say it also use Tailscale, zerotier, or wireguard to keep it off the public internet.

    I mean, yeah, it depends on the content, but let’s be real, most people who selfhost Jellyfin, Plex, or Navidrome are using it for 🏴‍☠️ content

    Right now, I'm selfhosting it on a mini PC at home, but it's not running 24/7 xD. So I'm curious how it would work on a VPS/VDS.

    These can work on a VPS. However, the DMCA could be an issue with many providers who don't ignore DMCA complaints. Also the internet connection might pose an issue (when compared to hosting it on your premises).

    If it's not accessible on the internet how would dmca come into play?

    Then how would he put it there? Upload it from home computer? If yes, why use a VPS when a Raspberry Pi might be able to do it.

    I have used it on several providers like rackranerd Crunchbits prepaidhost allhost etc, you don't need a dmca ignore, Plex/jellyfin require logging in and you as an administrator decide who has access, the problem can come if you use Torrent, not all providers allow it, but it is better to use usenet 😎
    Now Im with @oplink nice deal 2tb ssd for 10/m AND waiting @HostSlick for another 5tb

    That's fair, him asking about DMCA-ignored could very well mean he's using public means of acquiring the shady content. I often forget people do that.

    This is one of the very reasons why we are developing the MD dedicated server platform, to make self hosting way more affordable with decent dedicated resources.

    Get complete data privacy / sovereignity with a inexpensive dedicated server :)

    So if your content comes not from directly torrenting from the vps ip, it is safe from dmca notice ?
