I am really new to selfhosting, trying to learn the basics.
I have a raspi 5 with docker installed and a domain.
My question is, as I collect all my knowledge from all over the internet, is there a selfhosting guide for dummies? IT would be cool to have some guidance at hand to rfer to when i do dumb shit.
All good suggestions, but mine is: Start with something redundant.
Do you use Google Drive? Set up Nextcloud and use both for a while.
Also, decide on user management first. It's way better to have a central system for managing passwords/etc. Personally I use an Active Directory based off Samba4: https://github.com/Fmstrat/samba-domain because it's got LDAP and expandable with Keycloak to OAuth and OIDC. This may sound overwhelming, but once you learn what they are, its fairly straight forward.
