Self-Host All the Things?
I self-host literally everything (email, calendar&#x2F;contacts, VOIP, XMPP, you name it) from by basement with used 1U servers from eBay and a cable internet connection.<p>It was probably more hassle than most people would want to bother with to get it set up. But, with everything up and running, there&#x27;s very little maintenance. I probably spend a few hours a month tinkering still, just because I enjoy it.<p>I use a stack of Proxmox VMs, FreeIPA for authn&#x2F;authz, and Rocky Linux for all servers and workstations. My phone runs GrapheneOS with a Wireguard VPN back to the house. I don&#x27;t expose anything to the public internet unless absolutely necessary.<p>I recently anonymized and Ansibilized my entire setup so that  others might get some use out of it:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;sacredheartsc&#x2F;selfhosted">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;sacredheartsc&#x2F;selfhosted</a>
