Comment on Does "Selfhosted" mean you actually have a server at home?

  You control the hardware you are provisioned and the software you run on it, which is enough for me. Unless you’re looking for a job in the server adminstration/maintenance field the physical hardware access component of it matters less IMO

    You definitely don’t control the hardware. Someone else at some remote server farm or something does.

      Some of them offer what they call bare metal provisioning and I wonder if some even offer ILOM type access. That’s pretty much control of the hardware for me. Just that you can’t plug in a disk or a memory stick.

  If your server has IPMI, there’s little difference between being there in person and not.
