What do you self host, how, and why? (lemmy.ml)

How in terms of "how did you do it" i.e. a guide a wiki etc. How to you maintain it? How do you provide security and how do you maintain it? Do you host on bare metal at home? Do you use a cloud service? If the former, how do you connect to it when you aren't at home?

I realize that's a lot to ask, but I have some down time and want to hear everyone's full viewpoints

You seem to be looking for conflict, I don't see a good reason to oblige. Have a nice day.

I'm not, I'm just trying to understand what you really wanted to accomplish with your comment. Was it to actually help, or to sound smart? Genuinely curious.

Because you say now that your alternative, which is supposedly "better", is actually harder, whereas first you called it easier. Why is harder better?

I'm not looking for conflict, it just seems like you tried to do something here and are backwards constructing.

I want to give you the benefit of the doubt because I want to believe people give advice here for better purposes than sounding smart, that's all. 👍
