Hey, I was thinking about getting a VPS and hosting my own single user Lemmy instance. I am trying to think of other things to host. I already have some old hardware running unRAID with Plex, the *arrs, Kavita and home assistant. This is pushing my hardware to the limit but I still want to mess around with some self hosted things. Is there anything you would rather host on a rented server as opposed to a server sitting at your home?
DNS over tls/https is quite handy, especially if it’s pihole with ad blocking doing the DNS. This is nice to run on a vps since they’re typically very WAN accessible, which you probably want if you’re pointing your mobile phone at it. Be warned though, you absolutely should not expose a naked pihole (or any regular DNS server) to the internet; it will be used for DNS denial of service attacks in no time.
