Time cost
DIY hosting looks cheap until you count the time: upgrades, failures, and staying current with changes.
For tech-savvy users
Keep the control. Drop the server babysitting.
If you’ve hosted Nightscout before, you know the hidden cost: updates, uptime, logs, certs, and “why did this break at 2am?”. Hosted can be a good trade if you want the benefits without the maintenance burden.
Why hosted
Even if you can DIY.
Reliability
Monitoring and routine maintenance reduce the chance that your Nightscout disappears at the wrong moment.
Updates
Keeping Nightscout and the hosting stack updated is ongoing work — hosted can remove that burden.
Backups and recovery
Having a backup is one thing; having a plan (and the time) to restore it is another.
