+  My website is no longer in the Cloud and has been moved onto my home server.
+---
+
+I'm now self-hosting my website, the other static websites I maintain and [my Forgejo instance][0] that contains my Git repositories.
+
+These were previously on a VPS (virtual private server) but now are running on my homelab - an old laptop that I've been using to run Jellyfin and other software.
+
+It's great to know I have full control over my data and to not pay a recurring monthly cost forever to host my website. Later, if I decide my current homelab laptop needs an upgrade, I can do that.
+
+With NixOS, the transition from the Cloud to my home server was simple and just a case of moving some configuration files from one directory to another as I've set it up in a modular way.
+
+I've also switched back to Nginx which was also easy to migrate my configuration and redirects using the Nix language and NixOS configuration options.
+
+My website is a static website, mostly [generated by Sculpin][1] but there are some pages generated by Tome - [a static site generator for Drupal][5].
+
+I'm migrating my email list archive and daily pages first and will later move my presentations, podcast episodes and old blog posts, but I'm [doing it incrementally based on the path][2] so I can do pieces as I can around client work.
+
+If you like, you can [see my NixOS configuration][3] that includes my laptop and homelab and [my Tome repository][4] and keep track as I migrate things across.
