This is downvoted but I think it is true, self hosted services don't get nearly as much love as they need. It takes a huge amount of effort, monitoring, and knowledge on the specific tools to be able to host them securely and detect intrusions. I attempted self hosting for years but decided it ultimately wasn't worth it and that I have very little ability to prevent against attacks or detect that they had happened.

Not my point. Self-host plenty of stuff but choose *simple* tools, not behemots.

Also it's important to use software packaged in distros like Debian in order to receive security updates for many years.
