Is financing this sort of thing for a small circle expensive? I would (naively) think it's ~$5/month for a DigitalOcean droplet (adjust for your preferred hosting service) and maybe a bit more if you want a domain name (probably, if it's for non-technical family). But I haven't looked into it in much depth myself. Still a great goal, though, and I'd like to do the same at some point.
