The services are maybe hosted by myself, but the servers aren’t mine. I’m only borrowing a small chunk of resources from some company, so can it still be considered self-hosting?

I would say that the software side all qualifies. You’re setting up the full software stack; that’s definitely self-“something”.
I, personally, would only consider it “self hosting” if I can take a sledge hammer to the bare metal without getting arrested.
But, I acknowledge that is an arbitrary, puritanical distinction. I don’t look down on VPS; they have specific pros and cons, and I use them myself. I just think that “self hosting” includes hardware factors, not just the software.
You sound like someone who has used a printer, and likely has seen a PC Load Letter error. Ha!
Real printers used real paper…
Nice!
