You may be asking yourself, "should I self host?" We'll talk about that in this video.

Self-hosting your applications at home offers a number of advantages, including:

Privacy and security: You have complete control over your data and your environment. No third-party vendors have access to your data.
Customization: You can customize your applications and services to meet your specific needs.

- Performance: You can choose hardware that is specifically tailored to the needs of your applications.
- Cost: In the long run, self-hosting can be more cost-effective than using third-party vendors.
- To get started with self-hosting, you will need to choose the right hardware, a virtualization platform, and the applications you want to host. - Once you have everything set up, you will need to install and configure your applications.

Self-hosting is a great way to take control of your data and your environment. It offers a number of advantages, but it is important to weigh the pros and cons before making a decision.

In addition to the benefits listed above, self-hosting can also be a lot of fun and a great way to learn more about how the internet works.

Here's a link to the video where I talk about the downsides of self-hosting:
