Do you have any advice or suggestions about it?

  • Hardware (what should be enough for a local PC, or VPS…)
  • Software (OS [Debian, Yunohost, other…], “containerization” (Docker, virtual machines?), dashboard, management, backups, VPN tunneling…)
  • “Utilities” to host (Lemmy, Peertube, Matrix, Mastodon, Actual Budget, Jellyfin, Forgejo, Invidious/Piped, local Pi-Hole, email, dedicated videogame servers like for Minecraft, SearXNG, personal file storage like Drive, AI [in the future, when I can afford a rig that can run a local model decently]…)

I’m aware it’s a lot of stuff to take on, so, do you have any advice on where to start? (how to find a cheap PC to experiment with, if not get a VPS, what to test on it, what “utilities” to try self-hosting first…)

    Everything, self-host everything, even toilet paper. Wait, hold on, don’t self-host email, that’s a fucking pain.

      Sooo… do I just do with known email providers (proton, tuta, the webmail my domain provider allows me to have)?

      Seems like email is the biggest issue to self host lol
