Well, i decided to brush up my simple HTML page and created a fully linked wiki on the subject. Please take a look, in the hope it will be useful for at least one fellow one-eyed leg-pegged passionate data hoarder.

Any hints or suggestions is appreciated.

    It’s a great guide, thank you for sharing. No clue why everyone thinks Gentoo is a wrong choice for the job.

    Gentoo is a bit of a weird choice but maybe I am prejudiced from using it as a Desktop environment versus use as a server. But in any case, good to write this up.

      Why a weird choice? It’s lightweight and very secure since it doesn’t come with any useless services by default, and i mean it :)

      And by not using any docker, you can be 100% sure of what you are actually installing. instead of resorting to trust binaries somebody else put together in an opaque container.

    I’ve seen a chunk of self hosting posts & this guide also looks awesome. Main issue right is hardware. I have a laptop from 2012 but it lacks USB 3.0 & I’m not sure if it could handle something like this. I’m quite excited to continue researching this & giving a shot though!

      Usb2 should work, its up to 30+ megabytes per second, enough for 1080p h264 streaming (6megabits per second).

      Hardware is not keeping you from trying

      It might, at times, it’s behind a convoluted set of proxies of course.
