Self Hosting Guide (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hello, I’ve recently discovered self hosting and I really want to get into it. I’m not going to fully deep dive now, but I at least want to know the basics before I start my own journey. So today I came to ask if anybody has a roadmap or recommends a path for me to get into self hosting.

As far as Linux goes, I’m currently on Mint but only know how to update and switch/list directories. I do not know docker but understand the basics of it. This also goes for tailscale.

I know what a NAS is and how it works and the different Raids and when to use which one. I know what I want to self host but I am not sure if I want to use docker or proxmox. I’m also don’t understand the proxmox and how it works. Any information or tutorial would be highly appreciated. Thanks you

Sorry for the late reply.

No existing hardware for me to self host but I do have 2 Linux laptops which can be used to practice but not full on self hosting as they both are main laptops. I do plan on buying a nas but that is not my main priority right now and the money has to go elsewhere.

I have a list of things I want to self host but for staters, ente, paperless ngx, nextcloud, media server.

Yes I heard of Ubuntu server but was scared I was going to need more Linux skills to navigate. Glad it won’t be that way but I will probably learn. Thanks for docker compose I heard of it but have not gotten to the stage of using it yet.
