I deactivated the SSH daemon on my VPS and only use Tailscale SSH

I am very happy with Tailscale

unattended-updates will not reboot unless configured. The system needs to reboot to patch the issue, because it is a kernel patch. None of the major distros had a patch ready.

Sure, no worries. For me it was the same.

It seams tempting, because Silverbullet does look nice, but unless you want to become a maintainer I would not recommend you adopting it. Every maintainer is always just one step away on losing interest. There can be external factors like job change or internal factors like another interesting project. Both you have no control over and both are totally fine, because the maintainer doesn‘t owe you anything. Also especially in web dev the next breaking update requiring a lot of rework is just around the corner.

TLDR;So try it out, may be have a look at the code, but don‘t make yourself dependent on it.

Do you know about drip? It as local non-profit cross-platform open source smartphone app and my girlfriend is a happy user for years.

I am new to this space, but I think dokploy is another service of this kind: https://dokploy.com/

Has anyone experience with it?

I use Proton Authenticator on an iPhone without an account and I am satisfied

I don‘t think it is a binary situation: Complete self sustainability vs. full dependence on large corporations. Rather it is a spectrum and everyone feels comfortable somewhere else on it. Also I don‘t think the ends really exist, as someone else will always have power over you (you can‘t reasonably maintain everything yourself) and you can always migrate/quit from a service. Over time your position might change. For me personally I think Tailscale is a great service and for someone just starting out I would definitely recommend it. I think a lot frustration can be avoided when you don‘t set your self-hosting goals to high at the beginning. You can always update your setup later on.

My opinion: Figuring monetization out while keeping most of your audience happy will be the most important step to be a viable alternative to YouTube. Big YouTubers like LinusTechTips, Corridor Digital or something like Nebula already have their own service, because it is worth it to have fewer people pay more. Sadly everyone of them develops their own solution which are not interoperable. Are you in the talks with anyone to migrate to PeerTube backend? I think this would be such a gamechanger.

This is really cool and I will definitely try it out! Am I missing something or is there really no contributors license agreement?

You want that if you strongly believe that your hate speech counts as free speech

I am waiting for sqlite support to be merged

Has anyone tried it? I am thinking about using it on some Raspberry Pi 5.

Yes, in the sense that you are responsible to update the Docker container and often this can lead to vulnerable containers. No, in the sense that it is much easier to scan for dependencies inside a Docker container and identify vulnerabilities. Also most containers are based on Linux distribution, so those distribute the security fixes for specific libraries. All you have to is update the base image.

Dependency-free doesnt mean they dont have dependencies. Its just that they bundle them all in the executable. When there is a security vulnerability in a library on your Linux system the vendor of your distribution (Canonical, Redhat, SUSE) takes care that it is fixed. All dependent software and libraries are then fixed as well. All I say? Not the ones which have been bundled in the executable. First they need to find out that you are affected and then the maintainer has to update the dependency manually. Often they can only do this after there has been a coordinated release of the fix by the major distributors, which can leave you vulnerable no matter how fast the maintainer is. This is the way it is in Windows. (This was a short summary)

Are you just starting out? I got started with home labbing with a Raspberry Pi 2B (1GB RAM!) and an external HDD I had lying around. I host Yarr, Navidrome, backups and a dashboard app Ive written on there and I am quite satisfied. I would really recommend starting small with hardware you already have and then buy new hardware as you go along. I am also using Tailscale. With this you can get your initial setup up and running in a day and save money if it turns out home labbing isnt for you or you dont really need the hardware.

There is plant-it written in Java and HortusFox written in PHP. Both using MySQL. Is there anything available which is written in Go or Rust and uses SQLite?
