It can be as difficult or hard as you make it. If you want just nginx serving static files or k3s with multiple services on a tiny cluster is up to you. The benefit for me is that I can be confident that my data is mine. But mainly because it's fun and great for learning.
In my experience it's not much harder than navigating the AWS interface, where I often feel very lost. But of course YMMV.

Why not? Other than I can't be sure that my device and browser doesn't spy on me I don't see your point?
- Entinel 4y agoWhat privacy is gained by self hosting a static site rather than using anything else?
- JohnFen 4y agoIt removes the exposure to a service provider.
- worksonmine 4y agoOne (or more) less service(s) to give your e-mail. If you want to see usage you can just check the page loads instead of having to add analytics because github pages doesn't share any stats. The visitors get the same benefits because it's one less site behind cloudflare. The big providers can't figure out (and possibly sell) your interests based on the sites you host. Not my reason to self host (static) but more a welcome side effect.
