Any and all answers are greatly appreciated. No judgement whatsoever. Asking this for research on a WIP article:

Do you #selfhost :flan_hacker: ? If so:

- What do you host yourself?
- Do you use an existing toolchain (Ansible/Puppet scripts, Yunohost, etc)?
- Do you run it bare metal, virtualized or containerized? Which one?

Boosts appreciated :flan_balloon:
#selfhost

Hi, I self-host a bunch of websites and services on a bare metal server, building on the hosting knowledge I learned while on my web developer job. Everything is ran as Apache 2 virtual servers.

I even maintain a directory of my public-facing websites: https://blog.mrpetovan.com/hosting/

Not mentioned is the NextCloud instance I'm the only one to use.

I am the opposite of @Hypolite Petovan : I run stuff separately in containers (mostly proxmox) since I despise php and want to contain it as much as possible until it gets broken into and scorched.

VMs are a bit easer to move and backup (and separate) but they are a hassle due to a whole separated OS and IO and also a bit heavier on resources (but not too much).

Separation has the pro of having measurement of resource usage per whatever service it is.

I use saltstack for mgmt but it has its backsides as well.
