The Cloud is Over-engineered, Over-priced (and Over-rated?) (youtu.be)

For most personal projects, hosting on the cloud may be overkill, but tempting with its supposed ease of use and benefits of scale. Self-hosting is often overlooked as a solution with the benefit of simplicity and cost.

Interesting discussion and demonstration of self hosting the kinds of apps most personal projects will end being.

A VPS is also very expensive though. And shared hosting usually only allows HTML and PHP. So what's the affordable alternative?

Personally I self-host on a raspberry pi. It took me a few weeks to setup, but it has been running without problems for almost 2 years now at practically no cost (beyond purchase and electricity).
