I have the Nextcloud package running on stormweb. I eventually broke and just spun up my own, I use wireguard to use it when I am away from my LAN or at least I try to I have wireguard running on a pi zero 2 with a 50 Mbps down and 10 Mbps up internet connection. I need to figure out a way to fix the VPN connection because all my reminders have been taken off of apps that try to up sell me services (like my medication app), and put into Home Assistant and I could not mark them done being off of my LAN making me realize I spend way to much time at home. I use searXNG for search again mor needing to look after my VPN.

I use immich which depends less on my VPN as it syncs with the pi 5 when I am back on my LAN, so my pictures are saved in multiple locations.

I host my passwords on Vaultwarden which syncs with Bitwarden when I am on my LAN, it also does my 2FA stuff.

I self host Jellyfin and all the *arr apps to avoid paying US media companies, and I also have a couple of piholes spun up to avoid paying the Google with my eyeballs. My plan in the very near future is to move my blog and email randomization stuff to self hosting, I have some hosthero package that gives me unlimited emails and space for my blog but home labbing is where it is at! I use raspberry pi’s to avoid paying for x86, I really wish there was a better RISC-V CPU, but I am cool with my pi’s.

I just learned about RISC-V here

It seems Raspberry Pi has cheaper versions using RISC-V! :)

How do you ensure your Raspberry Pi will auto boot after a boot outage?

WHC has server hosting

whc.ca

Servarica is good for VPS and for storage. I'm using them and they've been perfectly reliable and inexpensive.

Am I understanding their "Unlimited Expanding Storage" plan correctly? Storage capacity just increases daily at no cost increase? This sounds like a pretty good solution for off-site backups.

Seconded. Servers in Montreal. https://thelemmy.club/ runs on a Servarica VPS

I like FullHost. They were my pick when I did an in-depth review of several Canadian VPS providers last year…

They were great, I used them for a long time until I finally decided I wanted bare metal or colocation (which they sadly don't seem to offer). I'm using OVH for that now (by far the best price I could find for what I'm getting) and I'm renting another server from GTHost as the disaster recovery failover location (I wanted it in a non-montreal datacenter) but they're not too cheap.
