Hi guys, I am thinking of selling my old server which until now I have been using as a mini home lab. But now that I have a dedi on hetzner, I don't really see the point of keeping it around. What do you guys use your home lab for and why do you prefer it over cloud hosting?

I host many services on my server. Just to list a few: my website, Jellyfin, Lemmy, a Monero node, and Nextcloud.

My main reasons for choosing home-hosting over cloud-hosting are:

  • Full Privacy
  • Complete Data Ownership
  • Local Access
  • source
