I’m already hosting pihole, but i know there’s so much great stuff out there! I want to find some useful things that I can get my hands on. Thanks!

Edit: Thanks all! I’ve got a lil homelab setup going now with Pihole, Jellyfin, Paperless ngx, Yacht and YT-DL. Going to be looking into it more tomorrow, this is so much fun!

    For someone completely new to self-hosting things, what is a good entry hardware setup look like? Or am I just keeping my daily PC on all the time?

      @republicofRAD @jaackf You can leave your own PC on, you can buy new hardware, or you can rent a server. Any of the above is a valid way to run your own services.

      A low-end VPS (virtual private server) costs around $5 a month and can run plenty of stuff as long as it’s not particularly heavy (no video hosting). Running a website on a VPS is a very common first entry to self-hosting, especially if you don’t have stable internet at home.
