I went with the self host route by putting it on a few years old computer with much better specs than cheap vps. Cloudflare tunnels to make the web server accessible on the internet.

Nice. How fast is your home internet connection? I’ve thought about putting an old laptop to this use. But I don’t want my day to day internet to suffer if my site gets traffic spikes. And also, I’m nervous about non-ecc ram.

		My internet is very fast for sure (can give more concrete numbers when I am home later) but I don't think you need to worry about it unless you are operating some massive website with huge traffic concurrently.
