Comment on Everyone should have a home server (or a friend that has one)

It’s not vague at all. You can run many services on your local server that you can then use while also on your home network, but you don’t want/need them to be accessible from outside your network - home assistant for example. Others would be things like NZBGET/SABNZBD, the *arr stack, and many, many more.

Your home server can also expose whatever you want to the internet, it’s up to you. It also means you can troubleshoot/update/upgrade everything yourself at any time, and you’re not trusting some company you’re paying $4/month for a VPS to do it and be secure/a conscious.

Also I would never run a phone as a server over a raspberry pi, that’s a terrible idea unless you’ve taken it apart and have it running off mains power without a battery in it.
