The talk about self-hosting email has sparked my interest in what others self-host. I understand people self-host things for the love of the game, but I'm more interested in services that are practical to self-host, and hold a purpose in an individuals life/workflow/etc.

I self-host my website, git repos (on website) and that's about it at the moment. I want to self-host more of the services I use so I'm not reliant on a provider (if practical), but I also don't want to spend hours configuring and maintaining things. I have NUC device with a N100 CPU, which could probably do the job for some basic services.

Things I pay for and would rather self-host:

* Storage (NFS, Samba)
* Password Manager
* Music - I'm a Spotify user, I really like the discoverability feature which has stopped me from using anything else.

I essentially self host everything that I possibly can that makes sense to do so. I still use Spotify, but in the coming months that will be the last subscription I cut. 

All three of the things you mentioned are what I would classify as "very self hostable" in that you can easily get them local or on a VPS. I'd recommend password-store for password manager, storage, any S3 compatible object storage or storage box will do.

I am going to be slowly moving my web services and client work to a Lenovo p360 I just got in the mail today. Will probably poast an article about the migration.

I am interested in the services you are going to host.

Do you have some heavy services that you could replace with simpler alternatives?

For example, Jellyfin and the *arr stack in general were very annoying to set up, migrate, and configure, at least for me. I like to have my shows in German and English, and while it was possible to set that up at some point, I just made a cut there. My replacement nowadays is just to SSH into my VPS, download the stuff I need, and then stream the media I want over SSHFS and mpv.

While it involves some "manual work," it removed for me all the overhead and annoyances I had previously.
