Hi everyone, first time posting since the Reddit went nuclear on sanity. With the advent of Lemmy, I finally got around to booting my home-server back up and stood up my own instance :)

How do you all self host stuff? I’ve been happily running Nextcloud, Home Assistant, Plex, etc locally, but none of that has been internet facing. As I’m getting back into this I want to share stuff with my friends and family and getting them all to use a VPN seems like a stretch.

Wondering if the general consensus is that it’s better to put shit on a VPS, on your own HW locally (with firewalls, safeguards, etc) or some combo of the two?

    I run my self hosted stuff on a k3s cluster at home on bare metal, then use cloudflare to protect the IP and access only by VPN.
