Defense in depth for one. It looks like this project is made for protecting your data on cloud storage. I’ve noticed right now there seems to be a lot of projects around using relatively cheap S3 storage solutions.
Yeah, it’s almost exactly the same in terms of software maintence, but of course you don’t actually host anything. I like the idea that, if the WWW goes down, I’ll still be able to control my smart home (locally of course) and such. Using a VPS is like semi-self hosting. I can’t really think of a good term for it, so I can see why it’s still grouped into self hosting.
Saying something is “self hosted” when it’s actually hosted by a cloud provider is sort of like saying something was “self coded” when it was actually coded by an LLM.

Ahh, that makes sense. When I think of self hosting, I think of using your own hardware.
Self hosting can be stretched to mean you’re hosting your own services on a cloud provider.
Yeah, I have dabbled in that with streaming to multiple platforms via a VPS. It definitely is stretching the definition of self hosting.
I’ve been using a VPS for a while now. I still maintain it, so it’s very much like self hosting.

Yeah, I only put specific things there. Management and monitoring things. The services are still local.
