Sustainable self-hosting services? (feddit.de)

Hey everyone, I'm looking to get into self-hosting as a bit of a hobby, host some websites and learn a bit more about sys-admin stuff.

I just wondered if anyone had any recommendations on or experiences with green/sustainable hosting services?

It's a bit far-fetched but I remember a website I found a while back that was fully hosted using solar energy (yes it went down at times).

Thanks for any help!

Was it this one?

I'm hosting al my services on an old Android mobile with termux. Power consumption is ridiculous, not 100% sustainable but it is very low power. You could add solar panels and you're done. In terms of performance, mainly for family use, I've never had an issue once I plugged it to an ethernet port.

Mind telling us more about this? What services are you running and how? Docker?

I adore that website, and its sibling No Tech Magazine.

At least this is the only one I know of
