Well I don’t have a home server at the moment so I was renting out a server for about $40/month. Mostly because it was eating up a bunch of storage, and I was too lazy to swap from digital ocean.

Also I was using the ansible script and at some point I they changed something that required me to set it up again which I didn’t really have the time for.

I will say Ansible was a lifesaver. It made setting up and keeping the server up to date super easy.

I do recommend trying it out tho, just don’t use a domain name that is the same as your username or you will have issues with pings, especially if you share the instance with a friend. Learned that the hard way. Anytime they sent a message anywhere I was at, it pinged me, whether or not they intended to ping me.


That’s pretty much exactly what I have done. I’ve hosted Plex, and Matrix in the past. Plex I will host in the future but Matrix was too much for me to host on my own, but the experience of setting it up myself was definitely worth it.
