Any reason why not use Server when setting up a home server?

Unless you wanna run headless and do everything via SSH then desktop is better, its essentially identical to server, but with a GUI and some apps bundled by default - both of which new users and infrequent server admins generally need.

Right, but if I don’t care for gui and am good with cli, would this guide still be followable? That’s kind of what I was trying to ask, I guess.

Thanks for pointing that out, I’ll update it. I was looking for blog post material and posted a guide I previously wrote it for someone. I don’t remember why exactly I wrote that at the time. To be honest I wasn’t even sure if anyone would read it haha.

Don’t sell yourself short. This guide had the very real potential to be invaluable to someone just starting out! It’s a great guide! Just needs a little more of the “why” factor, is all : ) keep it up!

It walks you through setting up SSH with keys and then git entirely via the command line. Maybe they plan on writing more?

That’s what I was thinking, but I wasn’t sure. I figured I’d ask op, since the post seems to be theirs.
As I’m writing this, I’m thinking maybe it’s because Server is generally cli-first, and this post is geared towards a more noob audience, so they’re going gui-first? If so, I appreciate the forethought.
