Nah, I don’t think its being gatekept. I got into self hosting earlier this year, so I have pretty fresh eyes as a new novice.

This community here has been an incredible resource for learning and asking questions, and people here are generally very helpful and kind.

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

• No, and I don’t see this perspective pushed. You do have to eventually learn how to do these things though if you want to be able to selfhost in most capacities.

Is telling people they have to learn traffic laws before driving gatekeeping driving now?
