   This is the truth! It is fun! =) My at home self hosting is limited to 2 x   
   2 bay NAS boxes (in two separate countries with replication between them),   
   1 x radxa zero with kodi on it, which pulls movies from one of the NAS   
   boxes, and a backup server which receives backups from my laptop and my   
   fathers laptop.   
      
   That's about it, when it comes to personal self-hosting.
