I pay for a good number of them. Not that I can’t self-host alternatives. It is just easier:

• 1Password
• OneDrive
• B2 Storage (backing up OneDrive amongst other things)
• VPS

What tool stack are you using? Just curious

This is what I’ve done too. I am almost certain it is less performant than some of the other options out there but I like that it is simple and using a tool I know. If this was a major use case of mine, I’d probably do more playing and get it working with something else but this works for now.

Also check out autossh and some of those tools
