On a bit of a tangent, hopefully not an inappropriate question:
What do you all spend on this sort of thing? Whether hosting remotely or on local hardware, what would you say is the rough monthly/annual cost to move your Netflix/Spotify/etc equiv to a self-hosted setup (excluding own labor)?
- ehnto 7y ago~80 AUD a month for two VMs. One hosts a Tekkit server.
- input_sh 7y ago~30 euros for an external dedicated server, and for the home stuff it's mostly a one-time fee for a NAS (+ an occasional hard drive replacement).
- Youden 7y agoDepends on the size of the collection. You can get a small (1-2TB) dedicated server for ~$5/month these days. When you get bigger you're looking at something like 64EUR/month for 40TB. Personally I have a home server which has minimal monthly costs. I just buy disks every now and then.
- Havoc 7y agoHome server - nothing recurring. Repurposed an old gaming laptop. Only cost was some USB3 HDD bays. Plus probably extra electricity since I run BOINC on it. Websites - nothing. Using GCP free server. About to move it to Oracle's free VMs though thanks to GCP's IPV4 shenanigans and Oracle's free offering being better (higher IO & you get two VMs).
