Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

No trolling.

I see what you're saying but nowhere else in that table is cost mentioned. Below the table they say maintanance is minimal. If you're already looking after storage, containers and server(s) I guess that could be true.
Are we looking at the same table? It says it's about cost in the left column. Or am I misunderstanding your post?
Sorry re-reading my comments it's not super clear what I meant: nowhere else in the table do they take account for the 'hidden' on-going maintenance of looking after a server/self-hosting. So this is the only row where they address 'cost' and I just thought it's a bit optimistic to say replacing all of Spotify just costs a one time server setup and storage. I think you're saying this row was only meant to indicate financial cost and I agree it's basically accurate from that meaning. However this is only the 'initial' cost. For example a self-hosted server and storage will eventually have to be replaced whereas Spotify will just keep replacing their own servers and that's already baked into the price of your subscription (caveat: that Spotify price will rise over time).
It's not a big point really, maybe I'm nitpicking.
Oh I see, that's right! It's not something we selfhosters usually admit when comparing costs I'd say :-)
