  • I totally agree and understand the use case. That plays into that more in depth type of self hosting most here do. All I have is storage via Synology, and Pi-hole, smart home controls and a media server in separate containers.

    My use case is strictly QoL improvements that my wife would either just live without or switch to a more conventional, easy to use setup for her.


  • $208,063.88

    This would pay off our mortgage and we could dump that monthly payment into saving for retirement.

    However, if the question was how much do we need then it would be $0. We are far more fortunate than many.

    If there was a line of all the people in this comment section waiting to get whatever amount they need I’d be one of those continuously moving to the back to let others go first.

    I hope you all find improved quality of life, even if it’s not through some financial windfall!


  • I don’t self host to the extent many here seem too but I have had the same thought and joked with my wife about it.

    Ultimately everything I’ve setup I’ve done in part because it’s my hobby and it interests me. When I’m gone my family will revert to whatever they’d normally be doing without me, because they don’t have interest in it like I do.
