I have a Pixel 8… a PC with Linux Mint. How do I learn to “self host”. Mainly for photo storage backup. Where do I start? I know nothing, absolutely nothing

    I would personally recommend starting with a Pi-hole. It’s easy to set up and provides an immediate improvement to your whole internet experience.

    Try to follow the official guide or use a Docker container.

        But a great start to get into selfhosting. What’s an IP? What is a DNS? How do I connect to via ssh? What’s the job of DHCP? Pretty basic stuff, your learning in the process.

          Yup. You got to start with the tedious and the boring before you get to the glamorous where your friends ‘ooo’ and ‘ahh’ about your set up.
