I have a 10 year old laptop of very low specs. I had given a detailed description of the specs and made a post regarding the use to which it can be put, and more or less everyone pointed to self hosting.
Now, if the machine is powerful enough, why not put it to some productive use ??
And so l'm exploring an unknown territory.
There's one project I'd highly recomnend - take a look at MASH - Mother of All Self Hosting ansible playbook.
While I haven't used this one in particular, they have a separate playbook for hosting Matrix I'm using, and it has been the smoothest experience with selfhosting anything ever I had.
The playbook is super robust, I never had it fail without it being immediately clear why and how to fix it, including for example "you didn't update for a while, this cfg parameter changed/got renamed, do this to fix it."
In case of Matrix, it was literally just "change 4 config values in vars.cfg, and add your server ip to hosts inventory, and run " just setup-all"", and it worked.
The MASH one has a lot of services you might need, and from what I've seen the setup process of adding a new service is often just adding i.e "jellyfin-enable: true" to your cfg.
