Also valid. I had to take a pragmatic approach with it to also meet SAF. The internet was also a very different place 14 years ago.

Total control. Let’s take the budgeting app for example. I started using Mint in 2009. There’s more than a decade worth of banking, spending, and investment information in there.

Mint is shuttering in about a month. They gave all their users a month and a half notice. When it’s gone, it’s gone.

When a self hosted app is used (with appropriate backups, orchestration, etc) YOU the user get to decide when you’re done.

If something isn’t working for your life anymore, you can find an alternative and migrate everything over on your own schedule.

This isn’t a bad plan. 64g of ram might be on the low side depending on what else is running.

You’ll 100% saturate that 1g link. Might even saturate a 10g link. I’d recommend going with 25 or 40g links for your ceph cluster. Some mellanox switches can be found relatively cheap.

Also, it should be an odd number to avoid split brain.
