Yes, I wouldn’t recommend it for a business just due to the complexity of the setup and the necessary knowledge to keep it running.

If you’re able to document the setup properly and have multiple people that have intimate knowledge of your machinations.. then you are covered .. unfortunately most people do not cover these bases.

If you have built yourself into this process you will realize quickly that nobody else understands it, and you will have a hard time taking vacation (among other things)

Also you put the business at risk because you need to plan for what the company will do when you get hit by a bus.

For these reasons it’s generally more preferable to pay a premium to go with a standard solution as opposed to something you cobbled together to save small amounts of money.

This is why I self host, gaining knowledge is a pro not a con.

self-hosting for yourself can be a sane decision

self-hosting for a business is RARELY sane :)
