Similar story to yours. I was a HP-UX and BSD admin, at some point in the 00s, I stopped self-hosting. Felt too much like the work I was paid to do in the office.

But then I decided to give it a go in the mid-10s, mainly because I was uneasy about my dependence on cloud services.

The biggest advantage of Docker for me is the easy spin-up/tear-down capability. I can rapidly prototype new services without worrying about all the cruft left behind by badly written software packages on the host machine.

But wouldn't that suit OP's use case? Storing BorgBackups? That's how I use this storage tier - just in case my local copies aren't recoverable.

As many others have said, AWS have a pricing calculator that lets you determine your likely costs.

As a rough calc in the tool for us-east-2 (Ohio), if you PUT (a paid action) 1,000 objects per month of 1024MB each (1TB), and lifecycle transitioned all 1,000 objects each month into Glacier Deep Archive (another paid action), you'll pay around $1.11USD per month. You pay nothing to transfer the data IN from the internet.

Glacier Deep Archive is what I use for my backups. I have a 2N+C backup strategy, so I only ever intend to need to restore from these backups should both of my two local copies of my data are unavailable (eg. house fire). In that instance, I will pay a price for retrieval, as well as endure a waiting period.

Yep, and the active development is really impressive. I've messaged on the Discord server from time to time, and the primary dev has often responded within minutes to help me deal with my query.

Immich - I moved from PhotoPrism some months ago, and am very happy I did.

I have mine sitting in my garage (currently saving for a rack to hold everything), so noise and heat aren't a major problem.

You're right re a consumer-grade router doing the same job, but my setup wasn't only about OPNsense. I spent many years running a low power setup - RasPis, etc - but then found I was frustrated by the lack of real grunt in the compute department. Plus I wanted to play with Proxmox.

Yeah, I hear you. Took me a while to put a little cash together for my setup too. I ended up keeping my eyes peeled on the ex-enterprise auction sites, and picked up for cheap a couple of HP DL360s.

Yes, I now have the problem on the other side of managing my power bills, but I'm nearly ready to add a battery to my solar setup, so hopefully that's not a problem for too much longer.

This is the way. I use OPNsense, and maintain an alias group of all the hosts I want directed to my VPN gateway server.

This is usually my first place, for fiction books. Hardly ever walk away empty-handed.

I'm running a trio of Reolink RLC-820A cameras, over PoE. I'm recording with Frigate on a Raspberry Pi with a Google TPU USB.

Inferencing of detected objects is lightning fast, and reasonably accurate. I'm storing ~45 days of footage (motion detected - not 24x7 recording) on less than 2TB.
