Comment on Contract for self-hosting help

Agree with everybody else here: don’t pay anyone for this.
We’re all a bunch of people hating that everything costs so much, so we selfhost what we can.

Use us, learn from our mistakes, make your own and start over when you fuck up to badly. We’ve all done it and still do it.
We’ll hold your hand every time you come back and ask for help, as long as you’ve shown at least a tiny bit of effort on your end.

Depending on your timezone, I could hop in a quick Discord call and nudge you in the right direction if it gets you going. I have some experience with ADHD so I know from second hand experience how you feel.
My TZ is CET.

Best of luck anyways!

I’d say the same. About money, I’d formulate this differently: most of the people here would be happy to help for free, I believe. And the author could just ‘thank with a coffee’ kind of thing, if they feel like it. I see that’s as a very nice option for everyone.

That is very kind of you to offer. I’m also on CET, so I might take you up on that offer.

I’m not interested in self-hosting to save money, though. It’s more disillusionment and loss of trust with proprietary tech, which has me wanting to have more control. Also, I usually like to tinker with things. It feels as if self-hosting should be something I enjoy but for some reason I’m not managing to get out of my own head and start. If it was a purely technical thing, I’d have asked the question by now, promise.

  Whatever you reason: let’s get you started!
  
  Let me know if you’re taking me up on the offer or feel free to ask me directly if you’re more comfortable with that.
  
  Happy New Year!
