That’s not what I meant. I can self host without building layers upon layers of infrastructure and infrastructure management tools.
In fact your post could be misconstrued to suggest that if you can’t build out a home server cluster with enterprise tooling and automated deployment as in TFA, you shouldn’t self-host. Realistically, it’s not necessary.
I'm reacting to this mostly. Self-hosters are a bit of an obnoxious blend of people who want turnkey-but-not-Google solutions and people willing to learn how to do things. People whining about "having to use a terminal" are generally in the former category.
I get that. It’s never been easier to self host with minimal knowledge and people still say it’s too hard. I said terminal but I don’t mean that to limit to bash. It could be any server interface.
I deal with the tech all day. I get paid to. I’d rather spend my leisure time touching grass, but I’m at that point in my career where it’s difficult to get excited like I do in my 20s.
