Hello everyone!
I did it. I reached a point where I got everything exactly how I wanted and now… Now I am dissatisfied as I look over my home lab’s chaotic mess of a setup. This was my first time selfhosting things, and I learned a ton of stuff. I’ll probably want to tear it down and start anew in the near future, being much tidier and mindful of what goes where.
Does anyone have any tips they want to impart to someone who’s not an entire newbie but still learning stuff? Kind of a “If I could tell myself this before I set everything up, I would say…”
I am not in a position of giving big helpful advice but habe just built my system for the second time. This time with Docker compose.
I cam recommend the yams.media script. I’d recommend learning linux permissions and docker and maybe a bit of networking before starting setting everything up. I had people help me as well as AI chats which helped me more than expected.
