“Bye bye bye.” It took some time, and a serious amount of research, but I have finally crossed the finish line. I have officially migrated my digital life to pure, EU-hosted solutions.
Jesus… I didn’t know people live like that. Cloud sever is like 5 euros/month. Self host ownCloud, bitwarden and you have half of that covered. Proton makes sense here but the first setup is insane.
Of course but this guy is not an average Joe. Paying for AWS, cloud storage, todo list and password manager looks strange. But I’m glad he’s found the way :)
Define average. There are so many guides and prepared packaging (debian 13 offers freebombox install under the blends). It requires foremost an interest in self hosting.
When exposing them on the internet without vpn’s that’s when it gets tricky an requires more knowledge.
This guy is paying for AWS to host his website. If you can run Linux on someone else’s computer, you can run it on your own, or at the very least, it will be easy to learn how
Totally off topic, but this wins the “worst pie chart of 2025” category for me. Absolutely horrendous. I had to look twice (gross) to make sure I’m really seeing what I’m seeing.
True. That’s what I pay on Hetzner for my VPS. Because I’m lazy I pay an extra for their NextCloud hosted solution. In the VPS, among other things, I have OnlyOffice, that integrates directly with NextCloud, solving my office needs.

Self hosting is not for average Joe. Even for skilled people is quite some work and maintenance.

That’s where I took the price from. Hetzner rules :)
