Ooof, yeah reading their comments, I agree.

OP, if you’re reading this, start even smaller. Not everything has to be right in your house.

I been deploying web apps since 2010, and I jumped right into self hosting during the pandemic and it was a massive headache or challenges I wasn’t prepared to face or maintain.

I gave up (for now) and just used open-source apps and AWS, because I needed availability. And every few months, I do a bit more to one day move everything to pure self hosting.
