Comment on anyone willing to walk a noob through getting some services running?

It’s not that hard. Go to awesome-selfhosted to have a look at what you’d like to host. Then, go to YouTube and find videos that host said thing. If you don’t find the specific application, watch simpler tutorials deploying containers (most people will use Docker if you’d like) and go from there. Read some documentation on the container runtime and maybe some networking. That’s it.

I’ve already explained why none of that is helpful. If you can point me to tutorials intended for straight beginners I will try that. It isn’t “hard” but it is complicated, and there’s a lot to learn, and I don’t appreciate you downplaying that.

I suppose it feels like an info dump when you’re coming from zero. This community shares a love for hosting and orchestration and it takes a second to get out of that hole. My apologies.
In my opinion, DBTech has some of the easiest tutorials on this subject. Just search for how to set up Docker on YouTube by DBTech. TBH I’d always recommend reading the documentation, Docker devs tell you how to install Docker and he basically follows that. Should be doable if you have a distribution set up. The documentation covers most use cases whilst he just installs on his distribution in the video, but the process should be similar if not the same.
Good luck!

I’ve looked at a lot of channels. There are a bunch by DigitalOcean and Akamai that are just ads for cloud machines.
