Just joined a couple of days ago so only fair to sum up the things I host myself.
I have 2 locations I host my personal stuff.
Datacenter:
Home:
In the Datacenter I still run a VMware ESXi server that needs to be replaced (this winter) and at home I have a Truenas server and 4 Proxmox nodes cluster.
I have 3 locations right now:
1. Hetzner cloud (1 server)
2. Home (my PC and a raspberry Pi)
3. My parents house (a raspberry Pi)
I have most of those things on https://uptime.jeena.net/status/everything
It says jeena.net is up but I get a 504.
No, I'm running everything on one server, there is sometimes a lot going on on PieFed and the load gets too much so it times out. I haven't had the time to research it.
And it says on, just because I set it to retry some times.
I have VPSes at Hetzner for Mastodon and Bookwyrm.
Mail is managed by 1blu with my domain.
Everything else is at home. I would move at least bookwyrm into my home server, but there’s another admin involved and I’d need to give them limited access to the VM and Proxmox (backup/snapshots/rebuild when doing maintenance).
I have everything at home, including the mail server. The only third party to my setup is a SMTP relay.

Mail servers?
How are you finding that these days? I thought all the anti-spam stuff meant that self-hosted email was just not worth it these days?

On residential connections it’s a bit pain in the rear, but if you get VPS (or something similar) it’s perfectly manageable. You just need to maintain stuff properly, like having proper DNS records, and occasionally clear false positives from spam lists. The bigger issue is to have proper backups and precautions, I’ve hosted my own emails for over 10 years and should I lose all the data and ability to receive new messages it would be a massive personal problem.

I also have a mail filter, I have been hosting my own mail server for the last 25 years.

Out of interest what are you using? I was postfix/courier for a long time, with a must migrate to dovecot 10 years ago. Finally migrated this year and the performance difference is noticeable

It is hard to set up and you might need an SMTP relay since most ISPs close port 25. But it is feasible.

It’s not worth it but some people don’t mind the cost.

What cost?
