In this post I share some my personal journey with some selfhostesd open source apps and how they helped me. Maybey you will find some stuff in there that helps you as well.
loose /= lose
Sorry this one had bothered me for years now and it just seems to get worse over time.
“I let the dogs loose from their enclosure.”
“Of course I would lose my phone when I don’t have Google’s Find My Phone anymore.”
/grammar nazi
loose
I get hung up on words too. However, my interests lie in the etymology thereof. Both words stem from the old Norse languages.
Could someone point me to total beginner (like only used windows) self hosting primer? Don’t even know what kind of machine I would need.
Anything that runs windows can probably run Linux and work well enough for self-hosting. But you’re getting ahead of yourself with worrying about hardware.
Easiest way to start is to find something that you want to try selfhosting that is relatively simple and use WSL within windows to familiarize yourself with Linux/networking/docker.
Once you’re far enough along to know what your needs are, then you can start thinking about the hardware to meet those needs.
