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!

If everyone had a friend that had a server we coulddp some fun stuff with federation and decentralization. Decentralized federated social networks without spam and without much need for moderation. Backup (I've always wanted to offer friends a family a backup service. I'd like to have a friend with a server so that I can backup my backups on their sever and in exchange they can do the same on mine). Almost free hosting (if I have my own home server I could provide friends with the option to host their static site for free which could be acceded by any server on the federated network

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
