What's your experience self-hosting in 2026?


Is it worth it vs SaaS? What are you self-hosting and what did you give up on?

Recently, I slefhosted "actual budget" in my server.

It is really good software for managing personal finance.

also i built custom wake on lan page for turning on to home PC for remote work

I always worried about security problem, So i tried apply mTLS to Caddy proxy. it works for me.

p12 certificates working greate.

My wife also using this Wake on Lan tool every day. She learned how to use RDP over ssh tunneling from me

Does using Hetzner instances count?

I'm finding it is so much easier to just deploy to my servers there, with some cloudflare offerings in the mix.
