Absolutely. I got my wife hooked on self hosting too. I am currently writing a new web server to solve for this space that is ridiculously simple to configure for dummies like me, has proxy and TLS built in, serves http over web sockets, and can scale to support any number of servers each supporting any number of domains provided port availability. The goal is maximum socket concurrency. I am doing this just for the love of self hosting demands in my own household. Apache felt archaic to configure and my home grown solution is already doing things Apache struggles with. I tried nginx but the proxy configuration wasn’t simple enough for me. I just want to specify ports and expect magic to happen. The best self hosted solutions ship as docker compose files that anybody can install within 2 minutes.
