Interesting distinction. I use a small managed vps, but didn’t consider that self-hosting, personally. I do aspire to switch to a homelab and figure out dynamic DNS and all that one day.
Comment on Self-hosting is having a moment. Ethan Sholly knows why.
smiletolerantly@awful.systems 5 weeks agoI would say yes, it’s still self-hosting. It’s probably not “home labbing”, but it’s still you responsible for all the services you host yourself, it’s just the hardware which is managed by someone else.
Also don’t let people discourage you from doing bare-metal.

That’s actually a good point, self hosting and home lab are similar things but don’t necessarily mean the same thing
