I saw this post today on Reddit and was curious to see if views are similar here as they are there.

  1. What are the best benefits of self-hosting?
  2. What do you wish you would have known as a beginner starting out?
  3. What resources do you know of to help a non-computer-scientist/engineer get started in self-hosting?

    My reason for self hosting is being in control of my shit, and not the cloud provider.

    I run jellyfin, soulseek, freshRSS, audiobookshelf and nextcloud. All of that on a pi 4 with an SSD attached and then accessible via wireguard. Also that sad is accessible as nfs share.

    As I had already known Linux very well before I’ve started my own cloud, I didn’t really had to learn much.

    The biggest resource I could recommend is that GitHub repository where a huge amount of awesomely selfhosted solutions are linked.
