Need help getting started reddit / selfhosted ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SafwanYP 路 2023-10-26 08:34 Hello everyone! First off, let me say I鈥檝e been fantasizing about self-hosting SOMETHING because of how many things I see in this sub. That being said, i have no clue where to start. I am planning on revamping my local setup at home to accommodate a lot more things. Right now, it鈥檚 just a mac mini, a windows laptop, and a monitor. I have about 3 external drives to fulfill my ever-growing need of storage, and thought of starting off with a storage server setup, that I can access over the internet. Anyways, what other things would you recommend to setup? I am in desperate need of a hobby project, and feel like this will be the perfect one that will help me learn a thing or two as well! Thanks in advance 馃榿 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Alfagun74 路 2023-10-26 08:43 Pi-Hole or Yunohost are good starting points from my personal experience. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- stupv 路 2023-10-26 09:26 Proxmox on the host, setup some apps in LXCs and some others inside docker. Pihole, tailscale, maybe home assistant if you have IoT devices ---------------------------------------------------------------------- carlosmarooto 路 2023-10-26 09:40 Also a media server with Jellyfin, radarr, sonarr is pretty fun to make and nice to have. Every service on LXCs and with this scripts [tteck](https://tteck.github.io/Proxmox/) is damn easy. Also this tutorial is a game changer [Unprivileged LXCs](https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/tutorial-unprivileged-lxcs- mount-cifs-shares.101795/) you can mount CIFS shares in to the unprivileged LXCs with samba. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jusepal 路 2023-10-26 09:47 Setup a linux vm, clone it as backup, play around in it and if you fck something up, destroy and spin new vm using the backup. Eventually you'll find something you like enough to be perma. The awesome- selfhosted list on github is a great source to search what to play around. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- thekrautboy 路 2023-10-26 13:46 Often for people who ask this kind of question things like /r/CosmosServer or CasaOS are ideal as first step.
