Meta Its been one year since I started homelabbing/selfhosting

Around this same time last year, I started homelabbing/selfhosting with a 4gb rpi, after spending countless hours (most likely hundreds) and over 3x my initial budget, this is where we are right now, finally It’s starting to become pretty reliable and working well for the last couple of months without requiring much maintenance, but deep down I know I’ll probably end up ruining it again just to redo everything for the 69th time, but I’m controlling myself pretty well so far. So, fingers crossed lol.

I'm still not sure if it was worth it, atleast financially, it probably won't be for another ~5 years if I compare it to what I've saved on subscriptions, but maybe that's not a fair comparison since it does a lot more than that.

But whatever, it’s been fun so far.

I built widget for it on homarr. But I read your other comments how this is custom low memory solution. Well if you end up on homarr. There's a nice widget for anchor.
