“If you can’t configure Docker, reverse proxies, and Yaml files, you shouldn’t be self-hosting.”

uh, if you can’t figure those things out then you absolutely should not be self-hosting until you can. those are the basic first steps a self-hoster takes, and if you somehow get them wrong you can expose yourself to some serious bad actors out there that will definitely exploit your setup and steal whatever data they can.

you see it as gatekeeping, but everyone here just recognizes that if you fuck this up, you will get pwned. this isn’t a hobby you can just jump into without learning anything first. there are real consequences to messing up, and depending on what data you have accessed by a malicious actor, it could have lasting damage on your life.
