First time I touched postgreSQL was in 2002, and that was on live production. I'm glad now for being able to do stuff with DBs now with docker setups, all config and migration scripts when the need arises.

Yeah, that's kinda what I'm dealing with now. I run a few small services for nostritches, but it finally built up to ~$150 in cloud charges a month out of my pocket. Some stuff I just did wrong (like letting many docker apps install their own postgres) and to some degree it just grew.

I rented dedicated hardware much cheaper and with more storage (an issue for image/video hosting) but now I get to go through my spaghetti and move it without losing stuff (hopefully).

The skills will last a lifetime though, but it sucked tonight. I'm really dreading trying to move peertube. LOL

How much would it cost to buy your own server and run it from your house? I know some fedi ppl do that.

I am building my house right now, and may afterwards. The issue is upstream bandwidth. I run image and video hosting. They have fiber in this area that’s 3Gbps up/down, for a huge setup fee, so that’s waiting until I get in my forever home later this year.

Hardware, I’ll prolly drop about 2 grand, but only because I’ll drop a couple of Intel ARC cards in there for video transcoding.
