> I homelab

Didn't know there was a verb for it! I "homelab" too and so far am very happy. With a (free) CDN in front of it it can handle spikes in traffic (that are rare anyways), and everything is simple and mostly free (since the machines are already there).

I rent a moderate sized Hetner box running FreeBSD and just spin up a jail (zfs helps here) or if necessary a bhyve VM per 'thing.'

I'd fire a box up at home instead but at ~£35/mo I can never quite find the motivation compared to spending the time hacking on one of my actual projects instead.

(I do suspect if I ever -did- find the motivation I'd wonder why I hadn't done so sooner; so it goes)
