Comment on Local LLM for Server Setup Guidance?
Lumisal@lemmy.world 6 days agoIt’s a good reference guide, yes, but it’s not good for beginners. The linked TRaSH guide seems better but I think are still a lot.
The issue I’ve found when searching for resources for them is that there’s really no guide me for people who know very little but want to do this and guides them in the proper steps from beginning to end. I have an IT degree and even I remember struggling a little bit when I first delved into self hosting because I never really studied networking, and networking feels like a different field entirely. Right now self hosting in general reminds me of the early days of Slackware (maybe even SLS) Linux (for those that remember) - you kind of have to ask around and figure things out on your own through a bunch of lookup.
I’m trying to ease the friction a little bit for those that want too start, and want to see if an LLM that can quickly define some words and tell you not only where to start but the steps after that based on your skill/knowledge level can ease some of that friction.
At least until one day self hosting becomes about as easy as modern Linux.
