Self hosting. I’m still a beginner on this but Nextcloud and plex made me way richer than before both economically and mentally

    Nope only my family, friends and I are using it. But thanks to plex and all the arr apps I canceled all my streaming and cloud subscriptions. Server is an old dell business pc so it’s not that much power hungry.

    Self hosting is awesome. I self host an email server, website, file transfer server, xmpp chat server, Nextcloud (for calendar and contact sync and video conferencing), and a search engine on a single VPS which costs me Β£4 per month. No previous background in web admin at all!
