It's not accurate to imply this is so easy. You're now responsible for your data, security and uptime. That means patching, backups and plenty of ops work.

- Klonoar 7y agoI agree - I've been doing this crap for 20 years, it's not "about an hour". This is an afternoon at the least. Context: I've done it for myself and others recently.

- yogthos 7y agoSure, easy for a technical person. That said, Digital Ocean has automated backups, and security mostly consists of making sure you do your updates in a timely fashion. I've literally had to do no other ops work in over a year running NextCloud, and I haven't had a single downtime. Running a server for yourself and your family is a far smaller effort than administering a public site.
