  I will check out that community. Seems incredibly friendly and supporting!

  Proxmox is something in my distant future but regardless. I will hopefully get there eventually

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starting to self host⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes the piHole is running on a rpi.

  Never actually thought about having it on the go. Cool idea!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starting to self host⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  That takes away a lot of stress. Knowing to just get started and ignore the best approach instead of just a getting started approach and learn as you go.

  For the longest time I wanted to get rid if my google drive or google calendar and host one myself.

  Email as I have read is something more advanced but I would like to self host my email as well.

  Photos eventually too.

  As a lot of people have recommended nextcloud that seems like where my interest might be heading.

  As a starting point. Are there any hardware recommendations for a toy home server?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starting to self host⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  That seems like a sensible approach.

  The whole area around selfhosting not just the deployment keeps me in somewhat of an analysis paralysis. Like what a reverse proxy is and why it is beneficial, how to set up and configure ssl and the whole area about not using a compromised service kind of keep me from starting.

  Locally and not connected to the Internet might be the best way to get started and then I will hopefully someday be able to remotely use my services.

  Trash guides did not show me anything when I tried to look them up. What exactly is that?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starting to self host⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Docker seems the way to go for me now! Thank you for the nice write up.

  I definitely do not now what I am doing so the word of caution is greatly appreciated!

  The whole thing about remotely accessing is probably something I put on my ToDo list as soon as I get a service up and running. Nevertheless reading it and just knowing about Wireguard and Tailscale is a huge benefit to me.

  Is there a personal recommendation which of your listed projects to get started with?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starting to self host⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you! I will definitely give them a read/watch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starting to self host⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you for sharing!

  I will give it try it seems like a great starting point.
