The point was that self-hosting is not hard if you do it the right way. You claim it’s very hard and requires specialized knowledge. I don’t think it’s much different than hosting in the cloud.
Once could say it requires special knowledge to host a service in the cloud too. The extra step I had to take was to open port 80 and 433 on my server and install nginx to forward the traffic to the right container on my local network since I only have one public IP. It took me minimal research to figure it out.

I didn’t say it was “hard”. I said it requires specialized knowledge. Which it does. And which you’ve not disproven in any way.

You realize hosting in the cloud is still selfhosting? And my comment was about selfhosting?
