Hey, I was thinking about getting a VPS and hosting my own single user Lemmy instance. I am trying to think of other things to host. I already have some old hardware running unRAID with Plex, the *arrs, Kavita and home assistant. This is pushing my hardware to the limit but I still want to mess around with some self hosted things. Is there anything you would rather host on a rented server as opposed to a server sitting at your home?
Email is the only one I won’t touch, I just want it to be rock solid reliable. Unless someone can point me to a solution with fault tolerance and redundancy that’s easy to setup via Docker, I’m all ears :)
fault tolerance and docker in the same sentence?
Honestly, it’s not worth it, especially because setting up a mail server requires some tricky stuff at DNS level, and your mail will not go anywhere without a valid reverse DNS which is kind of difficult to obtain for a home connection.
