I’m interested in exploring the world of self hosting, but most of the information that I find is incredibly detailed and specific, such as what type of CPU performs better, etc. What I’m really looking for is an extremely basic square 1 guide. I know basically nothing about networking, I dont really know any coding, But it seems like there are a lot of tools out there that might make this possible even for a dummy like me.
Right now, my cloud computing is pretty much typical I think. I use onedrive to sync my documents and old files. I need to be able to quickly access files on different devices, such as a powerpoint created on one device and presented on another. On my phone I use Android Karma and my backups of downloads and photos and other data are all on Google Drive /Google 1.
Could you let me know about the problems you’re facing? I’ll try to help if I have ever heard/used the service before
I don’t have a specific problem. I was asking, much like OP, for general guidance.
It’s a very complicated thing. And all the resources I find assume you already have advanced knowledge of Docker and networking and proxies and VPNs and on and on.
I don’t think they assume an “advanced” knowledge of Docker. They do require an investment in time and a willingness to play around though. I’d like for you to point me to said guide if you have it around, I’ll attempt to explain if there’s something you’d like more clarity (although TBH you don’t even need humans to explain things to you these days. It’s such a convenience).
