Hey yall, I want to get into self-hosting. I want to start from hosting on a raspberry pi, and I am just wondering if yall have any recommendations (I’ve never hosted anything before, but have experience in linux and programming). Sorry if it’s bit of a stupid question.

    Pihole is the best starting point in my opinion, helped a lot of my friend to get started !

      as tempting as pihole is. The last time I tried to do that. the pi went offline causing no internet when i was asleep (i’m a night owl) so my dad got mad at me for changing the dns settings on the router. So now I just have the router set to quad9 (used to have it set to cloudflare’s 1.1.1.2, but recently changed it)

      Goes against the spirit of self-hosting but for some stuff(Email, DNS, Passwords), I just SaaS it out. As much as I love my lab, nothing self-hosted in my prod environment is critical.

        Exactly, I can barely maintain a media server I really don’t want to be responsible for my passwords and photos. There are secure alternatives that are private and open enough for my needs…
