I wanted te host own matrix server, but it’s seems too complicated for the first time hosting. So, what do you recommend?
Pi-hole was really simple to set up. It was absolutely worth it and I’ve got it running on an old netbook. Very easy on resources.
Syncthing is also nice if you have files that you want easily shared between devices. I use it for sharing work files that I want synced between multiple devices. When I edit something it gets shared to all of my devices and it’s always up to date everywhere.
