If you don't currently #SelfHost, but are interested in the idea, I'm curious to hear what's kept you from doing it?
If you *are* currently #selfhosting, what would have made it easier for you to get started?
Personally, I do, however I was surprised at how many common technical problems weren't automatically taken care of automatically. Most took a lot of research, experimentation and community support, even for someone like me who is pretty tech savvy and enjoys tinkering with computers.
@Blort Interested, but 1) I'm unsure of what hardware to get to get a cheap, green server for self-hosting and 2) unsure whether choosing 'between' ecosystems like Yunohost, Nextcloud and Freedombox will lock me out of/into certain apps for the things I want to host. (Example: I run Plex (Premium Pass) on an old Synology NAS which now refuses to update Plex because the hardware is deprecated, so I'm missing out on new features. Would like to avoid that kind of thing.
