I have been thinking about creating a really basic, personal use SaaS from

This would cover all the basic VM setup skills, networking, DNS, security,
monitoring, probably databases and backups. You can integrate with matrix
or twilio for notifications, or set up a single etc for automating setups.
There will be an end product as well which hopefully can be useful for some
purpose (e.g. is the street parking in front of my place empty?).
Matrix is probably too heavy for notifications, the PostgreSQL database is
over a gigabyte for a single user who's not really active. For my
notifications I use the Prosody Jabber server and the Conversations Android
client that keeps a notification running all the time so Android doesn't kill
it.
Ah, good to know. I was just trying to integrate the ideas you mentioned.
This could be a collaborative project as well, instead of having n people
making n SaaS services.
Thoughts?
Sounds like a good idea. Would you like me to setup a VM for you to do that?
If so what distribution do you want?
Thank you for the offer, maybe a bit further down the line? I would like
to see if anyone else is interested - having someone else going on a
same journey with you is good for motivation. I would also need to
prototype a fair bit on the local network before putting things out in
the wilderness of the internet. And to be honest, I am completely
enamored in 3d printing now thanks to this year's LCA....
