The title is really vague, so I’ll try to clarify my intentions here:

I am an ardent supporter of FOSS. It will be greatly beneficial for my life and especially my privacy to self-host such software. Yet, I cannot find much motivation to do so.

However, when it comes to hosting software for public use, I can usually give my utmost concentration and dedication.

This is not how I want my life to be. I want to be motivated for myself as well as for the community. And if that’s not possible, I need to trick my brain into bringing me into that kind of zone for myself.

What do I do? What would you do in this situation?

    I use Kubernetes, and TBH the problem isn’t the know-how (I can just learn what I don’t know). The problem is a lack of motivation for doing it solely for myself; I know I should do it but why on earth can’t I muster enough motivation to actually sit down and configure??
