FOSS self-hosted alternatives that survived a year of actual use (telegra.ph)

After a year of self-hosting, here is what I actually kept running vs what got abandoned.

Survived: Vaultwarden, Syncthing, AdGuard Home, Jellyfin, Uptime Kuma Abandoned: Self-hosted email, Gitea, Matrix

The article covers alternatives for cloud storage, passwords, notes, media, VPN, DNS, and monitoring — with honest assessments of what is worth the maintenance overhead and what is not.

Biggest lesson: start with 3-4 services and actually maintain them rather than spinning up 20 containers.
