Hi guys,

What services do you think have the best return of investment? Where is it truly worth it to selfhost?

Cheers

The big one for me will always be Navidrome (and the various *sonic forks before) because I have access to my music collection, and don't have to pay a subscription.

Vaultwarden I'll give another +1, especially after fighting keeping KeePass synced across devices. Plus I have control over it.

I'm sure throwing my torrent client helps because it's on a box that's always on and my computer can be turned off if we're talking cost of electricity. Or just general wear and tear on hardware.

where do you buy all of your music? Because if u dont, airsonic isn’t saving u money - it’s piracy.
