  • Honestly the single biggest thing to self-hosting is breaking stuff.

    Host stuff that seems interesting to you, and dick around with it. If it breaks, read the logs and try to fix. If you can’t, revert to a backup and try to reproduce.

    If you start out with things that interest you, you’ll more likely stick with the hobby. From there you can move to hosting things with external access - maybe vpn inside your own network through your router?

    From there, get your security in line and host a basic webserver. Something small, low attack vector, and build on it. Then expand!

    Definitely recommend docker to start with - specifically docker compose. Read the documentation and mess around!

    First container I would host is portainer. General web admin/management panel for containers.

    Good luck :).











  • Definitely me. I’m big time into movies because when I was a kid my parents, my brother and I would all watch movies together. Legitimately like 3 times a week.

    I was ALWAYS the last one awake. I’d get up, put my brother to bed, and let my parents sleep.

    I could also quote the movie exceedingly well even after one watch at a young age - just because the world around me basically ceased to exist when a flick was on.

    Mom would sometimes wake up and go to bed in their bedroom on her own and I wouldn’t notice, with her sitting 5 feet from me.
