       People of the #fediverse, I need some #help.I'm looking to either self-host (ideally) or rent some #ActivityPub related services. Namely #GoToSocial, #PeerTube and possible #Owncast. As more or less of a noob on these things, where do I go to get started and to gather the basics of what I need?

       @bloodaxe@fosstodon.org You'll need to get yourself a server at a provider, generally referred to as a "VPS". The resource use is dependent on how much traffic you're going to serve, but most providers allow you to scale up (but not scale down!) the size of your VPS, so you can start small. You'll have to install any GNU+Linux distro (or a *BSD if you prefer) on it, and decide if you want to set it up with native services, containers (like Podman or Docker (please dont use Docker)), or maybe even Kubernetes (with k3s for instance). Depending on what you choose, setting up the services will differ greatly.
