Self-hosting can be made as complex as one wants to make it. Self hosting is best kept simple so it runs like an appliance that can maintain itself. Some people just use dreamhost for the basics already done for them. Lots of one click apps. The OP should have their vps mirrored between more than one service provider. Because it’s not a backup if it’s only one copy or just in one host. It’s not too far fetched to run docker with portainer, or even proxmox on a debian box. Both are solid and I save hundreds of hours if not more in setup and maintenance manually. My past complex hosting experience made me think twice about self hosting. It’s been much easier than it used to be. Very little maintenance unless using brittle languages and cutting edge frameworks. The question is often more about whether there’s inrerest to learn.
