Elena Rossini on GoToSocial ⁂<p>🏕️ my adventures in <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/selfhosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>selfhosting</span></a> - day 89 ✨</p><p>Oh <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/peertube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PeerTube</span></a>, you are making me do mental somersaults as I strategize about the best way to self-host my videos.</p><p>This newbie wants to ask: how many VPS’s are too many for someone who has little coding experience and has been self-hosting for just 3 months?</p><p>Fedi friends, I’m thinking of signing up for a THIRD VPS 😱</p><p>Why?</p><p>My current setup:</p><p>1️⃣ 5€/month Debian VPS with <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/yunohost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>YunoHost</span></a>, where I’m self-hosting <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/gotosocial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GoToSocial</span></a> (this account), <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/friendica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Friendica</span></a>, <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/pixelfed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Pixelfed</span></a>, <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/fail2ban" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fail2Ban</span></a> and <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/linkstack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LinkStack</span></a>.<br>2️⃣ 5€/month Ubuntu VPS where I am self-hosting my (upcoming) <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/ghost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ghost</span></a> blog (this will make me save a ton, compared to my current Ghost Pro plan).</p><p>Back to PeerTube: I could easily upgrade my <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Debian</span></a> VPS and install it there - the costs would be minimal and I would double my RAM and storage. But I am afraid of PeerTube’s consumption when it comes to bandwidth. As in: if I upload a video that for some reason becomes really popular, or if a bad actor decides to DDOS my channel, would that take down all my other self-hosted Fediverse instances? Since they are on the same VPS?</p><p>I could limit potential issues by having a dedicated VPS just for PeerTube.</p><p>What would you do?</p><p>And do you have recommendations for Europe-based VPS’s with affordable plans? (aside from Hostinger) I was thinking of <a href="https://aseachange.com/tags/hetzner" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hetzner</span></a>…
