I am trying to capture costs for starting into homelab/selfhosting.

VPNs, search engines, absolutely everything and anything.

Yearly:

  • ~80€ for 6 domains (using all of them)
  • 125€ electricity (480kWh, 0,26€/kWh)
  • 540€ VPSes (joint projects where other admins have access, not entirely paid by myself though, still planning to migrate one of them into homelab)

Not counting ISP since we have that anyways.

    0.26€/kWh? Jeez I thought $0.14 CAD during peak was bad

    Two are fedi instances, one is "official (related to my legal name)" and mostly used for email, one for personal selfhosted stuff I want to access from outside without vpn (like this Lemmy instance), one used to be a local concert calendar which I sunset so it's not needed anymore. Currently forgot the sixth one lol
