One thing I've learned over the many years now (_approaching a decade and a half now_) about self-hosting is two things; 1) There are many "assholes" on the open Internet that will either attack your stuff or are incompetent and write stupid shitβ’ that goes crazy on your stuff 2) You have to be careful about resources, especially memory and disk i/o. Especially disk i/o. this can kill your overall performance when you either have written software yourself or use someone else's that can do unconfined/uncontrolled disk i/o causing everything to grind to a halt and even fail. #self-hosted
