A simple question to this community, what are you self-hosting? It’s probably fun to hear from each-other what services we are running.
Please mention at least the service (e.g. e-mail) and the software (e.g. postfix). Extra bonus points for also mentioning the OS and/or hardware (e.g. Linux Distribution, raspberry pi, etc) you are running on.
Hey, no benefits at all other than maybe a tiny security aspect since services can’t be compromised but that’s not the driver.
Mainly the lack of network cabling drives the setup. Fileserver and Kodi sit in on spot below TV with a WiFi bridged connection. Raspi 1 & 2 are located at the main network cable entry which is due to being on old building in a corridor, sparse in space. And I do like reusing existing old devices. The Raspi’s lack in physical USB connections and RAM allocation. HA sucks up all RAM 2GB on Raspi 1. Would love to have 2 server units only connected via network cable for redundancy but it’s just not feasible since it is a rented home.
