Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Seems like a decent start! My recommendation is pick something you'll actually use, so you actually want to keep that VPS going, if for you that's silver bullet then have fun!
NextCloud is relatively easy to get going and useful for sharing files. I find it convenient combined with KeePass/KeePassDX so my passwords are synchronized are nice and safe although I'm considering an upgrade to BitWarden.
Matrix is also reasonably easy to set up and you can set up bridges to just about anything.
I also have my own emails but that's a special kind of hell for beginning with loads of things entirely out of your control.
