Start Self Hosting
Self-hosting is something that we should be constantly iterating on making easier; it&#x27;s really the path forward for privacy centric folks. The main challenges are managing workload scheduling (SystemD is complicated for a layperson). Networking is another challenge; for instance, if you wanted <i>all</i> or <i>part</i> of these services to remain offline or on a Mesh VPN there&#x27;s a lot of knowledge required.<p>There&#x27;s some projects trying to tackle the workload orchestration piece; CasaOS (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.casaos.io&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.casaos.io&#x2F;</a>) being one of my favorites but there&#x27;s also Portainer (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;portainer.io" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;portainer.io</a>). TailScale and and ZeroTier are great for Mesh VPN networking, where you may need to run some workloads in the cloud but want them networked with your home applications (or just to keep them offline). They also allow you to access applications running on a home server that doesn&#x27;t have a static IP. Cloudflare Access is okay; I haven&#x27;t tried it because it deviates from the mesh VPN model significantly.
