2.5 years ago, I migrated all my services hosted on a cloud provider to a homeserver.
This homeserver is also my workstation/gaming/dev/everything. I use QubesOS (an operating system based on the Xen hypervisor), and wrote some document about it: https://neowutran.ovh/qubes/articles/homeserver.pdf
Basically, I am hosting:
- DNS
- Matrix
- Jitsi
- Mumble
- Peertube
- Screego
- Nextcloud
- Searxng
- Tor
- Wireguard VPN
- Copy of wikipedia
- Personal website And others.
And for TLS, to have better security, and to avoid relying on third party company/providers, I am using DANE.

The “dane_without_root” is one of my projects and I am welcoming review / feedback on it
( I also posted about it on the QubesOS forum: https://forum.qubes-os.org/t/highlighting-neowutrans-technical-doc-about-qubes )
You missed my point
It doesn’t work for the user, so it doesn’t work.
Its about equivalent to the user as installing your own cert.
DANE provides user friction…but as OP mentioned TLS doesn’t work
Which means I don’t care because nobody except myself will be able to use it.
I’d care a lot if Firefox and Chrome supported it OOTB
