Why Self-Hosted?

I prefer self-hosted solutions for several reasons:

  • Data Control: Complete ownership and control over your data
  • Privacy: No third-party tracking or data collection
  • Customization: Full control over features and configuration
  • Cost: Often more cost-effective for high usage
  • Learning: Great way to learn about infrastructure and DevOps

Infrastructure Stack

These tools work together to provide a complete self-hosted infrastructure:

  • Nginx Proxy Manager: Reverse proxy and SSL certificate management
  • Kuma: Uptime monitoring and status pages
  • Umami: Privacy-focused web analytics

Getting Started

Each tool includes detailed installation and configuration instructions. Most can be deployed using Docker Compose for easy setup and management.

All tools are actively maintained and used in production environments.
