    One thing that always concern me about selfhosting is that you need to manage the app yourself, you need to deal with updates, security and the risks of exposing a service to the internet.

    It is awesome to be able to do it, but if you neglect the maintenance, you may be in for a bad time.

      You can always cheat and let stuff be slightly behind on maintenance and not top notch security by just hiding everything behind a self-hosted VPN to use your services, after all that was the original purpose of VPNs.
