I thought I’ll make this thread for all of you out there who have questions but are afraid to ask them. This is your chance!

I’ll try my best to answer any questions here, but I hope others in the community will contribute too!

    Install everything from store, and you should be fine. If you see a tutorial being too complicated, it is probably not worth following. Set your search engine to past year and see if there are better tutorials.

    You might also want to consider atomic distros, they are much harder to mess up, and much easier to restore.

      No I’m doing it to learn self hosting, I’m doing the hard stuff on purpose

        Oh! in that case may I suggest yachts with docker containers? https://yacht.sh/

        Everything on my homeserver is directly installed on the server, keeping them up-to-date is pretty annoying, and permission control is completely non-existent.

        Since want to do things the hard way, I believe this can also be a good opportunity to do things in the “better” way (at least IMO).

          Ah now that does look promising, I had settled on portainer but this yacht program looks very noob friendly! I’ll install it today and check it out! Cheers!
