I run a webserver (a k3s cluster, actually) from home, but considering how generous the free tiers of cloud providers are (Google Cloud in my case), why waste your home internet bandwidth for a personal site?

In terms of my home server, I mostly point subdomains at it to test projects running on my laptop (via an nginx proxy_pass), or share photos/music with friends. I used to use it a lot more when I why working away from home.

Outside of web facing uses, it's nice to have a central place to store and retrieve files from multiple devices. I'm using a an older i5 Intel NUC, and it works great.
