Does cloud providers share the IP addresses and the alloted users to these big corps and defect the whole purpose of a privacy frontend? Are there any service (FOSS) that could randomise my servers IP?
Might be a noob question but I want to start self hosting.
Thanks for the long reply. I will start out my self hosting journey with some simple applications like silver bullet or something. Then after gaining more info, will try to host something for the public
[Please give some suggestions for simple selfhostable applications]
Seems like a decent start! My recommendation is pick something you’ll actually use, so you actually want to keep that VPS going, if for you that’s silver bullet then have fun!
NextCloud is relatively easy to get going and useful for sharing files. I find it convenient combined with KeePass/KeePassDX so my passwords are synchronized are nice and safe although I’m considering an upgrade to BitWarden.
Matrix is also reasonably easy to set up and you can set up bridges to just about anything.
I also have my own emails but that’s a special kind of hell for beginning with loads of things entirely out of your control.
