Prioritizing de-clouding efforts (slrpnk.net)

I am finally making the push to self host everything I possibly can and leave as many cloud services as I can.

I have years of linux server admin experience so this is not a technical post, more of an attempt to get some crowd wisdom on a complex migration.

I have a plan and have identified services i would like to implement. Take it as given that the hardware I have can handle all this. But it is a lot so it won’t happen at once.

I would appreciate thoughts about the order in which to implement services. Install is only phase one, migration of existing data and shaking everything down to test stability is also time consuming. So any insights, especially on services that might present extra challenges when I start to add my own data, or dependencies I haven’t thought of.

The list order is not significant yet, but I would like to have an incremental plan. Those marked with * are already running and hosting my data locally with no issues.

Thanks in advance.

Base system

Proxmox VE 8.3
- ZFS for a time-machine like backup to a local hdd
- Docker VM with containers
  - Home Assistant *
  - Esphome *
  - Paperless-ngx *
  - Photo Prism
  - Firefly III
  - Jellyfin
  - Gitea
  - Authelia
  - Vaultwarden
  - Radicale
  - Prometheus
  - Grafana

Yes, I think I'm getting your original question now. I didn't even look into their hosting offers because I'm actively looking for things I can self host. It's the same reason I self host many things, I don't care if someone else offers it for free. I'm 100% owning it, I don't have to rely on someone else's server, and I enjoy the process of setting up my own infrastructure, figure out ways to make it reliable etc. It's also a learning experience for me.

Fair point.
Personally I wouldn't bother with critical stuff. If vaultwarden was down I'd have too much other issues I wouldnt want to deal with right now.

I thought about and tested that scenario, but all Bitwarden apps I'm using (Firefox Plugin and Android) keep a cache so Vaultwarden being down even for a few days is not that much of a problem as long as you don't need to change/edit passwords.
