I Self-Hosted Llama 3.2 with Coolify on My Home Server

> I decided to explore self-hosting some of my non-critical applications

Self-hosting static or almost-static websites is now really easy with a Cloudflare front. I just closed my account on SmugMug and published my images locally using my NAS; this costs no extra money (is basically free) since the photos were already on the NAS, and the NAS is already powered on 24-7.

The NAS I use is an Asustor so it's not really Linux and you can't install what you want on it, but it has Apache, Python and PHP with Sqlite extension, which is more than enough for basic websites.

Cloudflare free is like magic. Response times are near instantaneous and setup is minimal. You don't even have to configure an SSL certificate locally, it's all handled for you and works for wildcard subdomains.

And of course if one puts a real server behind it, like in the post, anything's possible.

Cloudflare is pretty strict about the Html to media ratio and might suspend or terminate your account if you are serving too many images.

I've read far too many horror stories about this on hn only so please make sure what you're doing is allowed by their TOS.

Cloudflare removed that bit from their TOS entirely about a year ago now. Are you citing a more recent source?

PS: talking about Cloudflare being snappy when content is being served from a austore nas made me chuckle.
