I mean, that kinda goes against the self hosted ethos, but it'd probably run fine on Oracle always free.
Like, I host everything on my local server, but I've got symmetrical gigabit, and all my user (family, some friends) are on my tailscale network.
If your friends are willing to use tailscale, or something like that (you can do most of what tailscale does yourself, but that involves quite a bit of work), it'd be pretty easy to host at home. There are several ways to make whatever you host reachable from the public internet, but that usually makes everything a much bigger hassle.
My power costs for my server (Ryzen 5 3600, GT710, 16 GB RAM, 10TB storage) are usually 10-15€ a month, which is worth it to me. You could do a lot with a way lower spec CPU, but that's what I had lying around.
