Hey, I was thinking about getting a VPS and hosting my own single user Lemmy instance. I am trying to think of other things to host. I already have some old hardware running unRAID with Plex, the *arrs, Kavita and home assistant. This is pushing my hardware to the limit but I still want to mess around with some self hosted things. Is there anything you would rather host on a rented server as opposed to a server sitting at your home?

I have my monitoring software running on my VPS so that if my server goes down for whatever reason I can still look at what might've caused it to go down. I also have Authentik running on it because I need my authentication system running to be able to login to said monitoring software. Lastly I have Mastodon on my VPS because the internet at my parents house doesn't have the upload bandwidth for it.

I have all of this running on Oracle Cloud Free Tier. I don't trust oracle in the slightest but I'm a broke college student so I take what I can get.
