I’m asking cause my previous post regarding my server that isn’t at home got moderated for violating rule 3. I don’t get it 🤔

    In my opinion, “self-hosted” means that you host it yourself.

    Running services in the cloud (i.e. someone else is hosting it) isn’t the same as hosting it yourself.

    Just have fun, though. Not everyone is in a situation where they can self host. Just do what works for you.

      Imo it’s hosting stuff for yourself or your family. In cloud or closet. If you have an advanced nas and you set up shares so everyone in the house can use it, it’s self-hosted storage. If you set up an iCloud account its not. If you rent vps, manage firewalls and reverse proxies and host your stuff there it’s selfhosting. If you use digital ocean or aws and do it for yourself its selfhosting. Saas isnt self hosting
