... well, at some point any hobby grows to the point where purists show up.
There's give and take with everything. Is it "self" hosted if you rely on Docker - a 3rd party with control over their own infrastructure? Or hosting it on a Debian OS? Is it really "private" if it's connected to the internet at all?
Are you running the Plex Server application on some hardware so other devices can access the library? Hey, that's self-hosting. That's it.
I guess I’m not selfhosting at all, I use a power grid that I don’t control.
Have you mined the minerals though?
Or to put it in another way "to truly selfhost you need to start by creating the universe".
It’s not truly self hosting unless you start by creating the universe.
