The survey is kinda weird. Like why do one has to use a VPN/RP/LAN when you can also just have the Server public exposed ? And for some other questions I should’ve voted „depending “ as neither true or false applied.
I thought it covered most bases, usually when publicly exposed something has a reverse proxy and certs in front
I have mine in a DMZ, so it can be fully exposed with software firewall. I thought it’ll be less work to setup and maintain. Wich it is, when I have a small project I can just plug my pi into the DMZ and it’s good to go.
Strange survey - it seems to imply that self-hosting means that I have the hardware running at home? Cannot fill this out, unfortunately.
Yeah seems like they mix up homelabbing and selfhosting a lot
Yea, that’s the whole deal with self hosting. Offside hosting or cloud hosting doesn’t mean you just have SAAS, you can have lower level access or even IAAS
Sorry but I’ve always called the VPS I run in the cloud, with software used by my 5 person DND group, “self hosted”. You’re saying it is, or it isn’t?
Self hosted usually refers to onside hosting. The VPS you are using is hosted offside. So basically it refers to where the server is, not who manages it. But there is a big overlap and many use them synonymous. It’s more of a „well actually“ that only happens to apply here
Just a little nitpicking, the words you want to be using are “offSITE” and “onSITE” not “offSIDE” or “onSIDE” (this isn’t a football match).
How do you know that hosting isn’t a football match ?
