Need help in deciding
reddit / selfhosted

I am currently having a self hosted setup in an Oracle free tier vps.
I am hosting ( docker ):
1. Jellyfish
2. Flame dashboard
3. Qbitorrent
4. Radarr
5. Powlarr
6. File manager
7. Portainer
8. Matrix

So, the question here is should I continue hosting there or should I
get a mini or micro PC and host it in my home. I have a fairly good
fiber net and have home ups too. Your advice? ( If I could get a new
PC or something similar my budget is around 15K (INR) ).

I like the freedom of self hosting. Those are pretty small
requirements, you shouldn't need anything too powerful unless you need
Jellyfin transcoding.

The disadvantage for a home lab is, that you have to keep the power
for that server up. Also you need the space (even if it's just a mini
pc). I am also using the oracle free tier and for that it is optimal
to keep it on oracle's site.

Oracle will kill your free tier VMs for no reason at any time.

Just spend usd100 for a n100 mini pc and move on.
