Self hosting is hard. How do you overcome?
Not exactly self hosting but maintaining/backing it up is hard for me. So many “what if”s are coming to my mind. Like what if DB gets corrupted? What if the device breaks? If on cloud provider, what if they decide to remove the server?
I need a local server and a remote one that are synced to confidentially self-host things and setting this up is a hassle I don’t want to take.
So my question is how safe is your setup? Are you still enthusiastic with it?

Others have said this, but it's always a work in progress.
What started out as just a spare optiplex desktop and needing a dedicated box for Minecraft and valheim servers, to now having a rack in my living room with a few key things I and others rely on. You definitely aren't alone XD
Regular, proactive work goes a long way. I also stated creating tickets for myself, each with a specific task. This way I could break things down, have reminders of what still needs attention, and track progress.
Do you host your ticketing system? I'd like to try one out. My TODO markings in my notes app don't end up organized enough to be helpful. My experience is with JIRA, which I despise with every fiber of my being.
Try Vikunja, it might tick the box for you.
Their heads are certainly in the right place. I'll check this out, thank you!
Mostly I just use nextclouds deck extension. It behaves close enough to what I need as a solo operation.
I have set up forgejo, which is a fork of gitea. It's a git forge, but its ticketing system is quite good.
Oh neat, I was actually planning to set that up to store scripts and some projects I'm working on, I'll give the tickets a try then.
