So more of a “cattle” than “pet” approach in general?

The article honestly reads like it was written by an AI tool.

Get a static ip if at all possible. The work arounds with a dynamic IP are simply not as good. Or if your ISP and router fully support IPv6 you could alternatively go down that route.

Hosting personal websites on your own hardware is such a pain, and I would imaging doing it on a rpi would be even more of a pain than on x86 architecture. If at all an option I’d recommend hosting on something like github pages or better still on a VPS.

Mid 30s, healthcare worker but I suppose I’m a tech enthusiast. Use windows on work computer due to needing a few windows only programs for work, Unraid on my NAS, and Ubuntu on my VPS. So I guess 1 and 3 are true and half of 2.

VPS (Ubuntu on 4 virtual cores, 10GB ram, 100GB NVME)

• Mediawiki with semantic mediawiki and various plug-ins and 650 pages
• Orthantic and OHIF (radiology images)
• Moodle (docker)

Cloud container provider (different to above VPS provider)

• 3 x mediawiki sites

Homelab (Unraid on i7 4790, 16gb RAM, 3 x 10TB HDD, 4TB external disk, no cache disk yet, RTX 3070, fractal define 7 mid tower)

• Plex
• Komga (comics)
• Audiobookshelf
• Kavita and Calibre (books)
• Photoview (family photos)
• Filebrowser (work)
• Cloudflared (zero trust tunnels)
• Heimdall (dashboard)
• Krusader
• Plugins: docker compose manager, docker patch, unassigned devices

Have ordered an N100 mini PC from aliexpress with plans of installing OPNsense and running a couple VMs on it.

My gaming computer for interest, not currently hosting anything: 5800X3D, 7900XTX, 32GB ram, 2TB NVME, 2TB SSD, 4TB HDD, fractal meshify midbtower case.

I also have a Pi 4 and a Pi 3 that I don’t have any use for currently. Open to ideas. I already run Adguard on phone and Ublock origin on desktop browser, and don’t see any current use for Pihole.
