What do you think the future of Self Hosting will look like?

I'm asking this both as a user of self-hosted apps and as a developer of those apps.

There's no denying that the self hosting landscape has changed over the last few years.

Both for the better and for the worse.

But if we want more people to start self hosting there are two ways:

  1. Make self hosting more attractive
  2. Let internet enshitification do its thing

While we can rely on 2 to do the most of it, what can we do about the first point?

How can self hosting become more accessible? (especially considering rising hardware costs)

I dont think there's a definitive answer to this. Which is why I want to hear your opinions.

Finally moved everything to a proper minirack!

I'm pretty happy with how it turned out so far.

From top to bottom:

- lamp, 7" touchscreen, esp32 to add my lightstrip to Home Assistant (controlled via infrared), ZigBee USB dongle

- Rock 5B as my main server and nas (nearly everything is hosted on it)

- external drive for backups

- Rock 3A running as a router and hosting adguard (it's more of a WiFi client since I don't have access to an ethernet cable at my place)

- Gmktec Mini PC w/ Ryzen 8845HS (mostly used for Ollama, streaming games and driving the display)

- Rock 2F next to the rack, which I'm planning to use as a music streaming adapter)

The cable management doesn't look as bad in person.

Software I'm hosting on it:

- Cloud replacement: Nextcloud, Immich, Vaultwarden, Heaper

- Dashwise as a dashboard (which I'm coding myself)

- Smart Home: Home Assistant, Zigbee2MQTT, IR Connector

- Media: Jellyfin, groovewise (my own vibecoded music server), Invidious/Materialious

- Server Management: Beszel, Nexterm, Portainer

- Dev related: Gitea

- Automations: n8n, Ollama, go scripts

- few smaller containers I don't use that often like Searxng etc.

Everything is backed up to an off-site setup using Zerobyte and RustFS (S3 backend)

If you've got any tips for improvement or similar experience let me know!
