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

    Jumping on this and will be starting slowly. I have a newish laptop…that has a broken screen. Alternatively I can pick up a new one. I also have a bunch of portable hard drives.

    I have terrible internet (cable) with the phone line sitting at a spot in the hall where I could keep a small dedicated cupboard. So I was thinking something connected by Ethernet.

    I want to ideally use it for downloading content and streaming it to devices around the house. Likely firestick or an alternative tv box.

    Secondly I would use to stream music to my iPhone outside the house.

    Any guides or starting points would be welcome.
