Buy a small NUC and run some docker containers. You might end up sinking 100 hours into it, but I have the same concerns and self hosting (with some cloud backups, but encrypted) is the solution for me.
What's the point of having my own cloud as long as my devices are purposed built against my privacy?
AFAIK everything I type on my Windows machine is directly sent to MS servers. I assume the same for my Android phone.
Microsoft and Google ... I know it's the worst for privacy but my platform choices were made before I realized I was data mined.
I can't afford Apple, and frankly I think their privacy stance is more marketing than real care. Especially when I see the lengths they go to create a world were they OWN consumers.
Last Sunday I decided I had enough: I installed KDE Neon on my desktop. It failed to install drivers for my NVIDIA 950 gfx and proceeded to kill my sound card drivers in the process.
So I installed Elementary OS (yes complete opposite from Neon). Graphic drivers were fine, but every time it played a sound it was preceded by a loud crack in my speakers.
And it's not like it's fresh / unknown hardware, I assembled this PC between 2010 and 2012 (Intel Core i7 3770k on an Asus motherboard).
So I'm back on Windows, but at least it's a fresh install.
What software would you run to do this? I have been looking for a good habit/exercise tracker for a while and currently use Habitica. It is free(ish) but also does a poor job in surfacing what you did and history but has a good habit and daily model. I haven't yet found a good piece of software like it that is self hosted.
