Many of the applications I use are hosted on my own infrastructure. Sensitive parts on servers at home, less sensitive parts on rented cloud servers. Selfhosting not only provides great privacy, it’s also way cheaper and more flexible compared to many hosted services. I run all my infrastructure on FreeBSD and Linux and some articles may use technology that is only available on one platform or the other, so please be aware of that when reading, articles are grouped by platform below.
