      Dirt cheap.

      Cost = maintenance + servers

      Engineers always underestimate the cost of their time.

        Yeah but self hosting comes with a lot of risks. You need to spend time to back up to another hard drive every now and then otherwise you’re just risking your precious memories. I tried out immich (which is amazing btw, kudos to the dev) but it just doesn’t feel dependable for the long term.

      The price seems reasonable to me. It’s competitive with VPS with comparable storage if you were to self-host it on a cloud provider.
