I have several years of Linux experience and I know how to fix my own problems, and I have experience self-hosting using Docker and Docker Compose, but I really feel that I don’t know how to self-host and that I just copy and paste commands without understanding it, I would really like to learn how to self-host by myself but I don’t know how I can start or with what resources for newbies I can start with.
I am interested in self-hosting several services, but the one I am currently most interested in is changedetection.io, as there are multiple such services but they all require a membership fee, and I prefer to self-host on my own.
May not be ideal for everyone but most of the time I want to learn something, I just start doing it.
Last year, I basically had no idea about self hosting and I started off with immich. Problems started to arise, but is solvable by searching online.
I also read Lemmy a lot and sometimes from this very community I get tips (such as fail2ban)
This is how I learn and half the reason my home lab exists. I need projects to get/stay motivated.
