Thinking of self-hosting some basic tools; SearxNG, Bitwarden, Lemmy.

What kind of tools are you self-hosting right now? Which ones are easy to manage, which ones are awkward? 👀

    This is likely not the thread for it, but I’ve been wanting to look for some kind of guide to self hosting for someone who’s never done it before. Once I get out of my lease that, while it includes internet, prohibits me from running any kind of servers, I want to potentially look into starting something, although that would also involve me getting a dedicated machine for this. I do have a somewhat old Raspberry Pi 3 from like 2016 I want to say (it has built in WiFi and Bluetooth but as I am currently home, I don’t have the specs on hand atm). The only other two machines are my desktop, which is way too overpowered to be running a server even some of the time, and my laptop, which I want to be able to take with me if I need to go work on something at a coffee shop.

      There are some options for Pis like unraid.

      Honestly though, just pick one problem you have and solve that with docker.

      Beat your head against the wall trying to figure out the virtualization, volume mapping, permissions and networking.

      Then start finding other problems to solve.

      I stood up a homelab for media storage and streaming… and it has now grown to 30-40 applications running in parallel.

        I suppose my main quandary arises from reaching a point where my apps need more headroom than I have to give
