    Other - experimentation/learning. Easier to nuke a server than stuff on home network.

    True. I forgot idling, and "just collecting vps's". :smile:

    Mostly DNS and backup services for my primary dedi. I don't like running everything in one place. I've done that, but I would not suggest doing so.

    My pronouns are like/subscribe.

    Is it real to use all of this on just one VPS? Rocket chat, nextcloud (443 port https), nginx redirect to another site when put the IP of your VPS on the browser (80 port) and wordpress on https:// (443) ??? If yes, tell me how please.

    I like to experiment with lesser known OS's to see if I can get them running on a KVM VPS.

    I wasted 3hours for this question but still unable to answer. I am really bad at philosophy.

    yep,
    everything that wants different ports is just fine - just install and let through firewall
    everything that wants 80/443 is traditionally solved by "virtual hosts" - every major webserver software like nginx supports them
    or you can

    whether it's a good idea to have all eggs in one basket, no, not so much

    I recently had a small data loss, lost some sorted old photos and videos. Luckily I still have the original unsorted backup.
    I finally decided to just zip then all and throw it on the corner on my local HDD and google drive.
