You could self host with your OS’s web server and a dynamic DNS service pointing to your home computer.

You could self host with your OS’s web server and a dynamic DNS service pointing to your home computer.
- franga2000 1y agoExcept the OS has no web server, so you have to find and install one, make sure it auto starts, set up port forwarding (which you might not be able to if you're behind CGNAT or your ISP just doesn't let you)... Then you need to explain to your partner that your computer is running 24/7 to host your shared shopping list or whatever, which will definitely cost more in electricity than a 5$/mo VPS, which was already presumed to be unacceptable
- vincnetas 1y ago"... my wife or kids " you already lost them at "... self host"
- abcd_f 1y agoGP was suggesting that you would self-host for your wife and kids, not that they would self-host themselves.
