data stays local for the most part. Every file you send to the cloud becomes property of the cloud. Yeah, you get access, but so does the hosting provider, their 3rd party resources, and typical government compliances. Hard drives are cheap and fast enough.

not quite answering this right, but I very much enjoy learning and evolving. But technology changes and sometimes implementing new software like caddy/traefik on existing setups is a PITA! I suppose if I went back in time, I would tell myself to do it the hard way and save a headache later. I wouldn’t have listened to me though.

Portainer is so nice, but has quirks. It’s no replacement for the command line, but wow, does it save time. The console is nerdy, but when time is on the line, find a good GUI.
I use kimai. It’s gotten much more stable over the past couple years and there is a mobile app. (I think it’s a couple bucks now, but works pretty well)
It runs in docker so it’s pretty easy to set up.
I have one customer who is pretty nuts about bills and this is the only way to track and invoice all that nonsense.
