What's your motivation for the switch? Second time in a short while I've heard about people migrating to incus.

That sounds so cool! Not using any tracking/nav devices other than my phone but currently my routes just stay local without having any kind of management for them.

Cool to have it ready anyways! Does it federate? You can use all sorts of dev-support groups etc.

Oh, sounds pretty cool, I have never looked into that.

Hell yeah! Still got Pinepods on my to-host list.

Google calendar? In the selfhosting community? Bold statement😄

You can have the best of both worlds - scheduled auto updates on a time that usually works for you.

With growing complexity, there are so many components to update, it's too easy to miss some in my experience. I don't have everything automated yet (in fact, most updates aren't) but I definitely strive towards it.

I think auto update is perfectly fine, just check out what kind of versioning the devs are using and pin the part of the version that will introduce breaking changes.

Did that as well a while ago and generally it's working pretty good, some services had the possibility to migrate existing accounts to authentik even. But even though it's been pretty reliable so far I'm hesitant to migrate my more critical services behind another runtime dependency.

Cool! Home Assistant has it and I can imagine Nextcloud as well but those are overkill just for that.

Don't have a good guide, but in addition on the thing you plan to selfhost yourself you need to decide where it's supposed to run. In a rented VM from a hoster? There are several ones where you can get a decent VM for a few bucks each month.

Nowadays, Docker (or containers in general) are very popular, as an alternative to directly installing services on the vm. They make many things easier, but it's another thing to learn about when you're just starting - fortunately, there's plenty of guides etc!
