I'm back to self hosting a few services across Digital Ocean & Hetzner.
Previously, I self-hosted on a local Synology box, but it was underpowered and exposed my home internet IP to the world.
However, a few months back, I came across a tool called Coolify.
At first, I was just looking for a way to self-host some docker services outside of my AWS account.
However, going down this rabit hole, lead me to hosting a lot more servies than I original expected.
Now I am hosting the following across multiple cloud VMs.
- ConvertX
- Horder
- Listmonk
- ERP Jobs
- Cheaper Abroad
- And so much more.
I’m happy to make this move, as I’ve been feeling a bit tired and my time has become more limited while advancing into my 30s and as my career continues to progress positively.
By using Coolify, I gain privacy advantages, and self-hosting provides greater control.
