I don’t have a home server yet but I’m exploring and sometimes I get confused about some posts here.
For example I saw a post asking for recommendation for a “self hosted budget management app”. Can’t you just install this type of app to your phone or pc? What’s the purpose here, will you host it and access it from a browser? Or do you only want to backup its data to your server?
I hope I don’t sound stupid please enlighten me.
mainly because its my nerdy hobby .
plus i like the feeling of owning my own data
and learning new stuff
and it also is quite handy to just have a server to test if somthing is usefull to you self
and can sometimes save you a little money .as you can host multiple things on one server
instead of having to pay for multiple comercial services
at the cost of your own time
