Comment on Contract for self-hosting help
TA_Help@piefed.social 14 hours agoThank you for taking the time to reply. I want to self-host various personal services for myself though, not a piefed instance.
It’s natural to share different parts of your life with different people, at varying levels of intimacy. Something doesn’t have to be illegal or shameful for you not to want to talk about it at work. Using throw away accounts allows both parties the opportunity to keep a potential professional relationship separate from their personal account, which may give information about their private life that they don’t wish to share. I’m not ashamed of my main account, I’m just a big fan of sandboxing 🙂

Well, if you like sandboxing, Docker is absolutely for you!!
With regards to the self-hosted aspect, pick one that really interests you, and get it up and running. That will give you experience and confidence going forward. The remaining items will be mostly cookie-cutter additions. If I also host that same item, I’d be happy to share samples of how I did it.

Thank you for the offer, that’s very kind. I’ll definitely be coming back to this community once I manage to get going.

The final thing I’ll say on this - as it directly ties back to your initial post. Don’t become paralyzed and neglect to start. Flip a coin, dartboard, whatever to pick your first one - there are no wrong answers. The truth is you’ll likely tear it down and redo it a half-dozen times before you are satisfied.
