Self-hosting in 2023: Nextcloud on Linode, or _?_ on _?_?

YunoHost

On the other end of the spectrum you have communists running Data Centers out of their basement. $ *I suggest Linode.* Super reliable provider, much less price than the big names. I would expect the same service out of DigitalOcean, Vultr... Just pick the company where you like the owners honestly. Linode's the one me teacher used tho. Assuming you got the income, $40/mo for 8GB should be good enough to run a ton of hobby projects. Or maybe $20 for 4GB to start, I <i>think</i> Linode lets you upgrade droplets. Avoid AWS. Using AWS for a hobby project is retarded. Its meant for enterprise. Option B would be to use a RaspberryPi. Its extra work for less performance, but Pis are a lot of fun. Its like owning a toy that can run NextCloud. If you're getting into self-hosting btw check out https://yunohost.org/ and https://landchad.net/.

Umbrel

Get a Raspberry Pi 4 and install https://umbrel.com on it. Easy to set up using Tailscale and optional TOR support if that's something you want. And it has all the "important" stuff like Nextcloud, Vaultwarden, Pi-hole, Matrix server, etc. There's a bunch of Bitcoin related Apps as well but it's easy to just ignore those. Full list of "apps" here: <a href="https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel-apps">https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel-apps</a>.

Contabo

Hello! At Swiftpoll -- https://swiftpoll.net (The best polling app on the web! We promise!), we use a combination of Racknerd (https://www.racknerd.com/NewYear/) and Contabo (https://contabo.com/en!) For our Gitlab runners, the metrics server, and the test server, we use Racknerd. For the production server, we use Contabo. Racknerd costs about $10-30 per year per virtual machine. Racknerd runs crazy sales, such as black Friday's double bandwidth deals and free giveaways (https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/182479). Over 1000+ pages of craziness on lowendtalk! The only caveat we have with Racknerd is the lack of support as a terraform provider. Racknerd uses Solus, and unfortunately, we did not have access to the admin APIs, such as reinstalling instances. To solve this, we made a playwright library that automated installation and maintenance tasks on the Racknerd Solus control panel. For Swiftpoll production, we went with a Contabo instance in their St. Louis data center. Contabo has support as a terraform provider with APIs to do just about anything you'd like. It works out of the box, and we didn't need to create anything hacky in Javascript, which we loved. Our only caveat is Contabo may charge "setup fees" when making changes to instances. Contabo costs about $9 per month and up. We have been using Racknerd and Contabo for a year. So far, we did not encounter any problems. We keep our hosting costs under $50 a month. Downtime with either provider is super rare, and I don't remember when the last time it happened was. Both providers offer generous bandwidth measured in terabytes.
