A few reasons:</p> <p><strong>Data sovereignty.</strong> My photos, documents, passwords, and communications stay on hardware I control. No third party is mining my data or training models on it.</p> <p><strong>No subscriptions.</strong> The total recurring cost is electricity. No monthly fees for photo storage, file sync, password management, or any of the other services that cloud providers love to charge for.</p> <p><strong>Reliability.</strong> My services don&rsquo;t go down when someone else&rsquo;s cloud has an outage. They also don&rsquo;t get discontinued, acquired, or enshittified.</p> <p><strong>Learning.</strong> Running this infrastructure teaches you more about networking, Linux, containers, storage, and monitoring than any course ever could.</p> <p>The trade-off is maintenance time. But with proper orchestration (see the <a href="https://antoine.weill-duflos.fr/en/post/komodo/">Komodo post</a>), that time is minimal. Most days, everything just runs.</p>
