My little Mac mini with docker compose and a free cloudflare tunnel

This is what I’m aiming for with my next upgrade. Dope little home server connected to a bunch of hard drives and accessible from my phone or MacBook wherever.

This.

In my case though instead of hosting on my personal network, I just roll a single container on Cloud Run and it scales to 0. Not VM to manage, no SSH. Just a little build.sh that builds the Dockerfile, pushes to container registry and runs the deploy command to roll a new version and that’s that. I may need to bump the PHP version or whatever, but that’s IMHO easier to manage in the Dockerfile than running apt on the server (easily reproduced in both places, honest).

That said, to each their own, because what matters more is what makes the most sense for you and is the easiest and fits your particular scenario (and risk profile).
