For a growing number of reasons, as with most people here, I am more desirous of self-hosted solutions to replace proprietary ones, yet, as with many others, I am not in a position to fully self-host with a server at home. Any comments on kinda-self-host, where you rent a server from a third party and do all the same shenanigans on it? Specifically, I’m thinking of data storage and streaming.
Please share any information resources if you can.


Hell, even if you don’t have a dedicated IP (where I live they don’t hand you one unless you’re a business) that’s pretty easy to sort out if your registrar has an API for updating DNS zones.
Moved all of my services from a shitty VPS to an old laptop a couple weeks ago and everything’s been pretty comfy so far.
