Search around for cheap VPS deals and start from there. That's what I ended up doing. Yes, if you have the hardware available and lying around, absolutely. However, whatever I ender up hosting I wanted it to be accessible when I'm on the go. There's always the ability to roll out tailscale or another VPN back to my home network but I rather keep the home network fully inaccessible from the outside. Just personal preference.

How difficult was it for you to configure your self-hosted instance of FMD?

I already have a server which I use to self host owntracks. However, I don't know much about nginx and after using the automated owntracks installer, I can't seem to properly configure reverse proxy for anything else eg. Linkwarden.

I initially considered that, but in the end I just bit the bullet and got one 2 weeks ago.

My thought is with the current trend of PC hardware prices, I didn't want to wait to see how it affects phone prices.

At the same time, I do not know if the collaborative phone between GOS and the manufacturer will be something I like. The current Pixel 10 phone is already bigger than what I ultimately prefer and I think it's more probable the new phone will be phablet sized.

Definitely. It didn't help that the application I am using doesn't support having a custom data storage location.

Very interesting. I was cpnsidering using separate profiles, but I read somewhere that google services is sandboxed anyway, so having it all in 1 profile is fine.

What I will need a separate profile for though, is for banking apps. I have one which is adament that I use a keyboard app from the play store and will refuse to function if I have one from F-droid installed.

Congrats. I too also moved to GOS a little over a week ago. Found out a few of the apps fromy old phone no longer work as intended and I'm now discovering the security restrictions of Android 13 is making syncing of files in the Android/data folder very difficult.
