Looking for advice on a #cloud / #selfhosting setup, especially with cost in mind.

Right now I’m weighing:
1) #pikapods (managed, simple, monthly fee, privacy?)
2) Self-hosted #nextcloud on a small home server (higher upfront cost, more control, more maintenance)

I’m curious about:
- Long-term costs
- reliability / backups
- time & maintenance overhead
- Privacy and data ownership (I'm in the Eu)

Are there other good options I should consider? VPS + Nextcloud? Hosted alternatives? Something lighter than Nextcloud?

@irkan I'm on my way to more #SelfHosting (#synology , tried a bit of #hetzner #VPS , ...), I just discovered #PikaPods and I am stunned. Zero config on your side, works smoothly, prices are reasonable... I recopmznd that road unless you really wish to minimize long term costs or want to get your hands dirty 😉

@gaufff @irkan have you heard of @yunohost for selfhosting ?
And about the cloud, I think CryptPad is quite lightweight and efficient compared to Nextcloud.
Or Seafile ?
