I just bought an old dell server and started self-hosting. It saved me some money on a VPS and Dropbox (although this thing GOBBLES electricity, so the savings argument is pretty moot). Docker (or podman in my case) makes this extremely easy. I can even manage my VMs using virt-manager on my main computer. I solve remote access by having wireguard running on my phone. It uses minimal amounts of data and battery, and I don't have to expose more than one port to the Russians (although lately I have had a bunch of logon attempts from Australia...)
