Hi there! This is a video that I made that I'm hoping can act as a beginner friendly entry level point to the world of self hosting and running a homelab. Just thought I'd share in case anyone is interested, and I hope it can be a resource to share with noobies. I don't claim to be an expert at all so I'd also love some feedback. Thanks!

Yeah as someone that was just getting into it not that long ago I definitely kinda struggled through it even though I'd feel pretty confident saying I'm a bit more technically literate than most. Figured I'd try to help others with the process as much as I can! I appreciate the validation lol
