I started self hosting recently. I bought a cheap desktop server and installed Ubuntu server on it. Every service I run is docker-compose because it’s easier than wrangling deps and such for multiple services. I use Caddy to proxy traffic and generate ssl certs.

I expose https and ssh through my router but use a non standard ssh port (keeps scripts and bots from knocking) and no root access over ssh and no password auth.

Everything runs very nicely and is simple to maintain and setup.

Data is backed up via Borg and rclone to B2.

So far so good as they say.
