Hey there!

I’m thinking about starting a blog about privacy guides, security, self-hosting, and other shenanigans, just for my own pleasure. I have my own server running Unraid and have been looking at self-hosting Ghost as the blog platform. However, I am wondering how “safe” it is to use one’s own homelab for this. If you have any experience regarding this topic, I would gladly appreciate some tips.

I understand that it’s relatively cheap to get a VPS, and that is always an option, but it is always more fun to self-host on one’s own bare metal! :)

    Weeeell, there’s a school of though leaning towards the opinion that using VPS is still self-hosting ;)

      I agree, but I understood this question in the context of a homelab.

      And for me, a homelab is not the right place for a public website, for the reasons I mentioned.
