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

VPNs, search engines, absolutely everything and anything.

Domain and vps about 20 per year.

Spotify not because I am missing a navidrome server. But because I sometimes need the huge catalogue of it to browse.

Edit: 70 for protonvpn. Need those Linux isos.

is that a bundle, or are you rally paying like $0.50 a month for a VPS?

It's a vps from ionos and the 1€ per month was actually the 1gb ram version. I have since upgraded to a 3€ with 4gb I think so not entirely accurate. Domain is afaik 1 per month.
