Must be different requirements indeed. But yours don’t sound like typical consumer requirements. Why do we need the same scale as a large corporation?

I can respect the corporate ability to serve thousands at a time but a typical household simply doesn’t need that.

Me and a few of my friends all work in IT and each have a dedicated proxmox machine that runs all of these things just fine. Nextcloud has so far only failed me once when i needed it and it was actually a cloudflare issue and still worked locally.

Navidrome i use all day every day and need accessible from anywhere. I have not updated or checked the container since setup and it has been stable as a rock. Fuck spotify which doesn’t have the bootlegs i listen to anyway.

The endgoal, which i archived is that i have no need for subscriptions and actually own my data which is the point right?

My actual hobbyist goal is to create something that can persist locally if the internet one day disappears.
