Hey, it’s Aquasp!
After hundreds of guides, quick fixes, and late-night debugging sessions, theselfhosting.art is finally launching proper memberships and a Discord community.
Everything on the blog stays 100 % free and ad-free forever — that is not changing.
But if you want to keep this site up and running, here are three ways to help:
Free
- Read every single article (no paywalls ever)
- Join the public Discord channels
Supporter — $5/month or $50/year
- Supporter role on Discord
- Private #supporters-lounge (I answer questions here first)
- Monthly behind-the-scenes updates and tips
- Grandfathered pricing — your price will never increase
Sponsor — $15/month or $150/year (only 50 spots total, ever)
- Gold Sponsor role + top listing in Discord
- Name + link on https://theselfhosting.art/sponsors/
- One 15–30 min 1-on-1 session with me every month (config review, troubleshooting, whatever)
- Grandfathered pricing forever
The Discord server is live right now (clean, friendly, and already active):

If any guide on this site has ever saved your sanity, consider grabbing a coffee-tier or a Sponsor spot.
Thank you for an absolutely wild ride so far.

…and yes — this entire site (Ghost CMS) is self-hosted on a single Raspberry Pi 5 in my bedroom, behind Cloudflare Tunnel, zero VPS bills. Most things I write about, I actually run.
