I self host so much stuff but like.. the amount of time and effort that’s gone into that.. maybe $10 or $20 a month totally makes sense after all to most people haha
Definitely time and learning curve. I’ve really wanted to self host some apps for 1–2 months now. Currently taking basic sql and python courses so that I can do the installations and databases correctly. App documentation is usually lacking and YT tutorials lead to more products and terms I’ve never heard of. There’s a big learning curve for non-programmers.
I'm definitely not saving money by self hosting, but it's a fun way to drain my bank account.
