I saw this post today on Reddit and was curious to see if views are similar here as they are there.
- What are the best benefits of self-hosting?
- What do you wish you would have known as a beginner starting out?
- What resources do you know of to help a non-computer-scientist/engineer get started in self-hosting?
- Our internet goes out periodically, so having everything local is really nice. I set up DNS on my router, so my TLS certs work fine without hitting the internet.
- I wish someone would’ve taught me how to rip blurays. It wasn’t a big deal, but everything online made it sound super sketchy flashing firmware onto a Bluray drive.
- I’m honestly not sure. I’m in CS and am really into Linux, so I honestly don’t know what would be helpful. I guess start small and get one thing working at a time. There’s a ton of resources online for all kinds of skill levels, and as long as you do one thing at a time, you should eventually see success.
