Servers That Just Run
These servers enable me to experiment with new projects from the open-source community and host my own cloud services, eliminating the need to rely on commercial providers.
Why Self-Host?
Self-hosting gives me full control over my data and frees me from annoying monthly subscriptions. I'm responsible for maintaining the quality of the service, and I genuinely enjoy the process of learning about computer networking and keeping my server running smoothly.
