Hello, I’ve recently discovered self hosting and I really want to get into it. I’m not going to fully deep dive now, but I at least want to know the basics before I start my own journey. So today I came to ask if anybody has a roadmap or recommends a path for me to get into self hosting.
As far as Linux goes, I’m currently on Mint but only know how to update and switch/list directories. I do not know docker but understand the basics of it. This also goes for tailscale.
I know what a NAS is and how it works and the different Raids and when to use which one. I know what I want to self host but I am not sure if I want to use docker or proxmox. I’m also don’t understand the proxmox and how it works. Any information or tutorial would be highly appreciated. Thanks you
https://perfectmediaserver.com/ This is the guide that really gave me the confidence to take ownership of my self hosting. My setup now is simple (I use ucore from the universal blue project as a rock solid base) and I use small tools that I can understand (snapraid, mergerfs, borgmatic) to make things robust as well as podman and quadlets (docker also works great) to enable easily hosting basically anything I want through containers.
