It’s the platform that runs all of your services in containers. This means they are separated from your system.

Also what are other services that might be interesting to self host in The future?

Nextcloud, the Arr stack, your future app, etc etc.

Headscale exists

Matrix is the way. It’s federated and you can have your own server.

Obsidian with synchronization to my Nextcloud instance

Not something so complex that it requires a docker

Docker is the thing that sandboxes your services from the host OS. I’d rather use Podman because of the true non-root mode, but Docker is still based. Plus, you can use Docker Swarm if you don’t want to switch to Kubernetes (though you don’t have easy storage integration for persistence).

Buy a VPS, set up Nextcloud and try it that way.

Alright then. I’d recommend Nextcloud.

Obsidian has a built-in sync feature. Use it.

It’s the only way to get to Capitalism 2.0.

there seem to be only GitHub and GitLab around

Gitea, Forgejo, and cgit exist

Arr stack, Jellyfin, and Nextcloud + some dashboard.

Arr stack plus Jellyfin/Plex, Nextcloud and Gitea.

1984 is also a good option.

What about Tailscale? I know it’s Proprietary software, but still.

Host forgejo.

Or Gitea if you want to run the upstream.
