Hey yall, I want to get into self-hosting. I want to start from hosting on a raspberry pi, and I am just wondering if yall have any recommendations (I’ve never hosted anything before, but have experience in linux and programming). Sorry if it’s bit of a stupid question.

    Pihole is the best starting point in my opinion, helped a lot of my friend to get started !

      Goes against the spirit of self-hosting but for some stuff(Email, DNS, Passwords), I just SaaS it out. As much as I love my lab, nothing self-hosted in my prod environment is critical.

        Exactly, I can barely maintain a media server I really don’t want to be responsible for my passwords and photos. There are secure alternatives that are private and open enough for my needs…

        You can change the DNS on your personal devices instead of changing it on the router.

        You can make an HA cluster from 2 or 3 pies. One node goes down, the other takes over. Or go the docker swarm road.
