Well erm that I can’t get around… but I guess it depends on what you want to self host. I use truenas as a storage solution, standalone and it works very well for that - I have had it up and running for years and years. It also stores personal files and is not exposed to the internet apart from updates and a few other things. Then I have an old 4-node server from Supermicro which hosts the stuff I need and uses truenas to store the data. Now that is probably overkill but the data is safe and backed up well. Truenas has apps for a lot of things, and other ways to host docker containers if you have the latest scale community edition. So perhaps you could do it that way
