I am trying to capture costs for starting into homelab/selfhosting.

VPNs, search engines, absolutely everything and anything.

  • Domain for about 15/year
  • Proton unlimited (mostly mail, SimpleLogin, vpn) about 90/year
  • Nabu casa (not that I need it, but to support development) 75/year

I spend a lot more money on donations to the open source stuff I’m running, but they are not strictly speaking “subscriptions”. Self hosting for me isn’t about cost, it’s about data ownership.
