Currently hosting everything at home on my Proxmox server for a few years now:

Samba, Wireguard, 2 PiHoles, Apache web server + reverse proxy, Jellyfin, Uptime Kuma, Home Assistant (VM), arr stack via yams.media (VM), and Minecraft, to name the main ones. I own a domain and use Cloudflare nameservers. If something's particularly sensitive but I want external access (such as a family tree), I put it behind PocketID.

Curious to know:

1) What services do you prefer to host in the cloud rather than on your home server?

2) The benefit(s) you see/security risk/etc, by doing so.
