 I have been running @umbrel for a couple years now and it has dramatically changed my digital landscape.  Not only does it make it easy to run your own bitcoin node, but I've also slowly been dropping centralized apps with self-hosted solutions.  Even though I don't run everything through Umbrel OS it has opened me to the world of self-hosting.

 What services are you self-hosting that you find most useful? For me it's definitely nextcloud

 Thanks for sharing @Calm Soil . I run an umbrel node, but haven’t yet ventured into many other apps….confidence building 🙌

 How’s the concerns over security given it’s still considered insecure due to it being beta/etc?

 Could share which ones you are using and on which hardware?

Thanks

 I started on a raspi but quickly upgraded to a small frame PC that I picked up used for cheap.

The services I find useful are: Tailscale, which gives me access to the server anywhere; Nextcloud for file storage, but also the music extension let's me take my playlists with me wherever; Nostr Relay backs up my Nostr activity automatically; Invidious for YouTube without ads or trackers; Audiobook shelf for podcasts and audio books; Jellyfin for movies and shows.

I actually run several other services on the same machine, just not through Umbrel. Tailscale, Pi-hole, Photoprism, Trillium Notes, Portainer, and recently Duplicati for back-ups. Some of these are available through Umbrel but I wanted more control over the services (eg Tailscale) or wanted to support the devs (eg Photoprism).
