If so, how was the overall experience? Looks like a much better alternative than completely relying on Google Drive and you can't beat the price (free!)

Yeah I tried to run my own a few times in a few different ways. It was easy to set up and great when it worked but I kept fucking things up every few months and spending a long time fixing it each time. Eventually I just moved to a hosted provider and not only is life so much easier, it's also much cheaper cause I'm not running my own RDS or Managed Postgres instance for the database like I was in AWS and DO.
