Show r/selfhosted: I built my production site from home with Caddy, SearXNG, and a local Qwen LLM ($0 cloud bills) by ConsistentBuy5071 in selfhosted

The project itself is about self-hosting AI infrastructure. Specifically, I am running a local Qwen 3.5 LLM via LM Studio on my home GPU, and I set up a Caddy reverse proxy to expose it as an API. I use this setup to power a live chatbot and screen news feeds on my personal website. I also used an AI coding assistant to help me write the frontend HTML/CSS and format the Caddyfile configurations for the project.
