Hey all
New to social media, privacy, security, coding.
I apologize in advance for silly questions.
Not sure if this is the appropriate way to post or not

first question
I’d like to chance my old MacBook into a server, but all I know about servers is that I can control a lot of what goes out and comes in to my home network. Where is a good place to start?

@stzeit what do you want it to do? Host a website? Share files?

First find a use case for it, then google the specifics.

If you want to do it for the sake of doing it and need an example: try to host a wordpress website.

@vol I’m currently hosting a wordpress site through site ground and don’t necessarily want to host a website yet. I want to set it up for file sharing, specifically with Nextcloud. But I’ll query that. Thank you for your reply 🙏🏻
